Learning is a life long process from cuddle to grave. In the life span, a person learns from parents, peers, teacher and even from group works or solo works. Many people hold the view that solo works teach more to an individual than team work. But I and many other people contradict this notion and back the opposite view.
Firstly, man is a social animal who has been working in the groups to ensure its survival like hunting animals in jungle to get food for community since the immemorial. Moreover, this venture inculcates a sense of belongingness in the people's mind. It teaches them the value of unity. For instance, India's freedom is not because of a single individuals but because of the efforts of the numerous freedom fighters.
Further, this work teaches sharing, caring and an ability to understand feeling and opinion of others which is next to impossible in an individual's work. A person who works in a team becomes more adaptable and this is the need of the hour as more and more employers are selecting candidates who have mastered this trait and can easily mold themselves in any shape. So this work not only helps them personally but also professionally by giving them employment.
A man who works individually may get the authority to take decisions but he will have less options to select from. Whereas, in team work, many minds work together giving rise to a spectrum of innovative ideas and solutions of a problem. So, the group work not only makes a person creative but also gives the chance to learn from others' experience.
To sum up, the team works are more beneficial for people owing to its myriad advantages. One should always prefer this as together people can stand strong and single stick can be broken easily.
