Humans are basically selfish. Write a paragraph about 300 words to state that whether you agree or disagree with the statement. Include examples and illustrations to support your viewpoint.

It is the fact that

humans

are social animals that are born to live in communities.

Additionally

, to make society peaceful, we have to be empathetic.

However

, some people believe that

humans

are fundamentally selfish. From my point of view, self-centeredness is a human's instinct and I agree with the statement for various reasons, which are outlined in the following paragraph.

To begin

with,

humans

often consider themselves

first

when opportunities come. It is a common human personality since ancient times, people did not concern that the animals that they hunted and consumed

also

have a life.

In other words

, it is the selfishness of mankind to serve themselves and fulfil their needs in the easiest way.

Furthermore

, most

humans

wish to be happy, get rich, sleep tight, eat well and enjoy life, all of these are the reasons people live today.

For example

, since we were born, crying to demand something we want is a usual situation for babies. Infants live without thinking about others but their needs, before empathy is taught by adults later.

Moreover

, when

humans

grow up, most of them worry about how to spend the rest of their life without facing difficult conditions.

However

, they tend to commit suicide if the resolution is not discovered. In conclusion, being selfish is a common emotion among mankind. It is an instinct that we have to hide and avoid to preserve a harmonious society.

Besides

, considering yourself

first

is not a fault, as long as it does not bother or cause a problem to others.
