Resumen
This study analyzes the mutual representation of discourse and its practice in social relations of competition and cooperation from the perspective of the individual-society relationship. This is important, because research suggests that a win-to-win cooperative strategy is useful and necessary for both the social welfare of both individual and society. However, the discourse and practice of competition, represented by a win-to-lose approach, is frequently seen in the educational and cultural spheres, and therefore in the social sphere.
The data was collected through a social experiment using group games that only could be solved by applying cooperative strategies. This was followed by interviews to deepen in the verbal discourse used by participants. This showed that the social discourse of competition was spontaneously expressed by participants, while their verbal discourse aligned with cooperative alternatives, which induces a social dilemma.
