On page 172, Lottie claims that “people put their interest ahead of others’, even in times of tragedy…Self-interest always takes precedence.” Do you think this is true? Why or why not?

I don’t agree with Lottie. She put herself before others, self-preservation. My guess is that most BB members have endured hardships and moved others’ wellbeing to their daily forefront. “That person first, then attend to me.”

I agree with NanK, most people are kind and do not view things only through a self-interest. But there are some people, that are rather shocking in how little regard they have for others. Don’t we all know about someone who has stolen from a charity?
