The selfish gene

Im not a person who really aprreiates reading about science and evoluntion and trhe way Richard Dawkins is going to talk about his book. He talks about alturism which is a word i haven't hear before but later it was explained in class and we also saw `` Alturism act is one that looks superficially, as if it mist tend to make the alturist more likely to die, and the recipient more likely to survive''(4) He begins talking about the evolution and Darwinism and the survival of the fittest but Dawkins changes that term to the survival of the gene. Being alturisc is doing good thing foor the community and other people and not being selfish. I think everyone is selfish in some point or in some way. Poepple are selfish many times and that is a natural thing in humans. '' The word selfish may seem an understatement for sucj extreme cases as cannibalism''(5) He gives an example in which there are humans an in the sea they are seals, they want to get into the see but they are really selfish and are wainting for someone else to risk their lives because they ar enot risking themselves. '' Naturally nobody wants to be the guinea pig, so they wait, and sometimes even try to push each other in''(5)

I think everyone is selfish in some point, sometimes you are alturism because you think in others but not always, and most of the time you think only in you survival and in your own good.
