Introduction

We live in a society full of individuals striving to complement what Darwinism has taught us: the survival of the fittest. Although people tend to live in harmony and are dependent on each other for their own survival, there exists some kind of competition among them. This competition is compounded by other power dynamics and social inequalities in our society. Thus, the relationship between competition and social relations is complex and bound to change depending on context and culture.
