Have the rich and powerful lost their altruistic instincts?

Have the rich and powerful lost their altruistic instincts?

Humans are the most altruistic and good of all the animal species, yet at present, our rich and powerful allow the poorest of us to starve to death by hoarding their wealth. This is unheard of in the animal world.

Generally speaking, in ancient days the rich and powerful insured that the poor were taken care of to the best of their ability. In the past, the rank and file demanded that the rich and powerful live up to that good altruistic trait by revolting against them. The French Revolution is a good example of this. Have the rank and file lost their altruistic and good characters by allowing the rich and powerful to let people starve to death while doing nothing?

Are the notions of liberty, equality, and fraternity dead in the world?

Is mankind at the point of losing the altruistic instincts that has made us the greatest animal that the world has ever produced?

Humans are selfish

Humans are simultaneously made in the image of God and sinners. We are filled with a capacity to fault towards arrogance and egotistical behavior as a response to our vulnerability, and the opportunity to rise up and stand against that suffering and tragedy and become heroic individuals capable of reshaping the world for the better.

Animals are far more charitable then humans. Just look at all the charities the Animal Kingdom have going to help each other..

Humanity will do the right thing once all other options have been exhausted.

First step should be the Removal of Al interweb message board mods!

He's correct. It is a fundamental part of what makes us such a successful species.

Humans have the following traits that set us apart:

1. By far the most altruistic species.
2. By far the most violent species.
3. By far the most sexual species.
4. By far the most intelligent species.

Humans are a weird combination of what is necessary to get to the point to where were are, now.

I bet you don't GIVE A DIME to any kind of charity. Probably curse out the Salvation Army Santa's on Street Corners during Christmas.

What a Hypocrite and a Scrooge.

I have seen nothing to suggest that we are more innately altruistic than any of the other animal species in which altruism has been observed.

Dolphins

There are plenty of animals that display altruistic behavior, really.

It's true that ours is on a larger scale. For instance, a chimp may share his banana with his fellow primate, whereas humans may build an orphanage or a homeless shelter, but I attribute that to our increased intelligence more than I do anything else.

It's also true that our observations and knowledge of animal behavior is pretty limited, especially compared to the knowledge and observations of ourselves. We are much more aware of our own behavior than we are of animals'. And we're the only ones doing the cataloging.
