Argument -- Competition

Shenk emphasized that the environment strongly influences the abilities of a person. On page 105, Shenk mentions that Navy SEALs train in a very competitive environment. This strong competition and pressure helps them to become the best trained fighters. And when thinking about Jamaican runners they also raised the best runners because of the environment.
Compare this idea of the strong influence of the environment to the theme of interdependence in nature. Do you think everyone will have the ability to become a strong fighter or runner even trained properly? What kind of impact does this training have on the genes? How healthy do you think the children of the fighters will be?
