"Nowadays People Are Selfish and Greedy."Do You Agree or Disagree with This Point of View?
There is no doubt that some people are selfish and greedy. For example, some merchants sell their fake commodities at the market place for more profit. They are rich and want to be richer. There are also government officials who sell people's trust. Senior officials who take bribes 1 by selling the power in their hands are not a few. Those people believe in the precept 2 "Everyone for himself and the devil take the hind 3 most."
However, the majority of people are neither selfish nor greedy. They contribute much and ask for little. Countless 4 examples can be found around us, the PLA soldiers who sacrificed themselves for saving people's lives in fighting the disastrous 5 floods and the warriors 6 in white who risked their lives to save SARS victims being two of the most tyl)ical. Ir, contrast to the selfish and corrupt 7 official they are heroes, who set up glorious images for us.
The idea that nowadays people are selfish and greedy is probably attributed to the influence of the mass media which tend to over exaggerate the negative aspects of life.Many newspapers, particularly many local evening papers,and TV films play up nastiness by reporting and showing too much about violence and sex. A lot of books, too, portray 8 selfishness and greed to seek sensational 9 effect and economic profit.I wonder whether they are selfish and greedy, too?
