Fighter at heart

At MCP there is a number of volunteers from mutiple different countries. Most of which are in Europe with only 3 Americans currently. I’ve noticed that out of all of us the other American male and I are the most competitive and love a to compete in games. I wonder why this is? Is it coincidence or is there some sort of cultural influence on our behavior. Either way I think if this is a cultural influence, given the current political climate we should channel this energy into something productive and sustainable.
