  • George Williams We Are Naturally Selfish Summary

    692 Words  | 2 Pages

This is especially true in terms of genes, because if our genetics were not selfish then we would not be here. Williams states that people can win this genetics contest by mainly surviving to maturity and then competing successfully for the resources needed for their own reproduction. In all actuality though just because humans are selfish does not mean that we are completely incapable of being selfless. Williams states that it has been seen that individuals can and often do help others in gaining resources and avoiding any losses or damages. The most obvious and common example is parents caring for their offspring. Parents do this to ensure the successful continuation of their genes.

  • To Kill A Mockingbird Quotes To Show Courage

    It is illustrated in the story about how Arthur hides trinkets in a tree for Jem and Scout, “As we came to the live oaks at the Radley Place, I raised my finger to point for the hundreth time to the knot hole where I had found the chewing gum, trying to make Jem believe I had found it there and found myself pointing at another piece of tinfoil” (Lee 34); which shows that, even though Arthur is confined in his house, he still believes that making a friend is worth the risk of leaving his home. Arthur also displays his courage when he folds Jem’s pants after they get caught in the fence because, after his father pulled out his shotgun, there is no doubt that people’s eyes wandered over there every now and then: “When I went back, they were folded across the fence...like they were expectin’ me” (Lee 58). He even puts a blanket around Scout, jeopardizing his life by being so close to, not only a crowd, but Jem and Scout themselves: ‘“Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn’t know it when he put the blanket around you”’ (Lee 72). He even saves Jem and Scout’s lives by putting the children’s safety before his own and murdering Bob Ewell: ‘“[Bob’s] dead alright. He’s good and dead. He won’t hurt these children again”’ (Lee 267); which shows that Arthur has compassion for the children and will do whatever it takes to make sure that they are guarded. Arthur Radley is a very courageous man because, even though he is seen as someone who is different, he goes out with the fear of someone seeing him so that he can help two

Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, better known as Mother Teresa, devoted her life to helping those in great need. To many these acts may appear as selfless and gallant acts that are not performed by anyone with any type of ego. Yet when taking a psychological look at why she performed such acts they may appear a somewhat more for herself. Every time anyone does anything, even when for someone else, they are doing it for some type of feeling that they experience. With the holiday season approaching, there will be a specific emphasis on giving unlike any other time of the year. We give yes to show gratitude for someone we love, but also to experience the joy in seeing someone enjoy something they them self-caused. Even while being selfless humans have the unique ability to still be doing something that involves caring for them self. This outlook toward the human condition completely debunks Wolf’s claim that “when caring about yourself you are living as if you are the center of the universe.” When choosing to do anything positive or negative, for others or for yourself, you are still taking your self-interest into consideration, making it

    1983 Words  | 4 Pages

    Black and white, right and wrong; do decisions that simple and clear even exist? Does a decision ever mean gaining everything without giving anything up? Many characters in To Kill A Mockingbird are forced to make difficult, heart wrenching decisions that have no clear right answer. Harper Lee presents many of these important decisions in To Kill A Mockingbird as ethical dilemmas, or situations that require a choice between two difficult alternatives. Both of these alternatives have unpleasant aspects and question morals and ethics. A person is put in an awkward position, with their mind saying contradicting things. These dilemmas are presented in many different ways. The decisions in the beginning of the book are simple and can be solved quite easily, yet they are symbolic of later decisions. Other dilemmas place adult-like decisions in the lap of a child. One dilemma concerned a man burdened with the strict traditions of the South. Then there are the two biggest dilemmas, Atticus' decision to take the case and Heck Tate's choice between truth and the emotional well being of a man. Lee's ingenious storyline is established by these crucial and mentally arduous choices faced by the characters.

  • Selfish Vs Selfish Nature

    1182 Words  | 3 Pages

    Human nature dictates that every action, no matter how selfless it appears, is inspired by a selfish reason. Selfishness is a personality trait that every human has. Despite what people may believe, selfishness is a part of us and is the driving force behind decisions we make. According to the Oxford dictionary being selfish is being “concerned with one's own interests or pleasure.” People make decisions based on what they desire. They live as if the effect of their actions is non-important. All that matters is the benefits they will obtain even if they know that the end result can have negative consequences. Selfishness is all around us and without it there would be no motivation for humans to do anything. The extent of these selfish actions varies widely because it includes every action that humans make. They range from the mildly selfish action of doing voluntary work for a charity in order to "help society," but ultimately to give yourself the satisfaction of knowing you have done a good deed, to the extremely selfish action of taking something from someone for personal gain.

Selflessness, bravery, and friendship are only a few qualities that Boo Radley shares that we could learn from. When he gave gifts to Scout and Jem, protected them, and fought his own fears when leaving his house suggests that people have the wrong idea about the man originally named Arthur. Maybe he isn’t a violent monster that everyone claims him to be. On the last page of To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout says when telling of a boy who was also misunderstood like Arthur, “An’ they chased him ‘n’ never could catch him’ cause they didn’t know what he looked like, an’ Atticus, when they finally saw him, why he hadn’t done any of those things… Atticus, he was real nice…” in which Atticus replies, “Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them.” (Lee 376). The author puts this dialogue on the last page of To Kill a Mockingbird for a reason. To send a memorable message to the reader. A message to never judge and to always have sympathy like Boo
