Answer 1

We live in a world that asks one huge question everyday....(how does this benefit me?) So many now dont think of others the way we used to.

Answer 14

Please explain your idea of selfish first then i will give a answer according to your guidelines.people are not necessarily selfish but instead maybe it could be self preservation as people today are trying to survive paycheck to paycheck or day to day. So by your question you would have to give me your idea of selfish as in what setting/conditions you are saying people are selfish .what are the circumstances when you see selfishness from your viewpoint.in other words you may need to walk a mile in their shoes before saying they are selfish.
