Life is a competition. May the best man win. Remember Darwin? The strongest will survive. I'm not going to proactively try and injure someone else or hold someone else back, but you can bet i'll do whatever I possibly can get get the leg up. It's a dog eat dog world.

High school prepares you for college, and college ultimately, cough somewhat sarcastic, prepares you for the real world.

People are too concerned with playing by the rules in those environments. While we do have rules (read: laws and codes) in the real world, there are also 'no rules'

No the "strongest" don't necessarily survive. Evolution is only about individual survival insofar is a longer lifespan may result in more reproduction. The best adapted species in an particular environmental niche will outlast competitors.
