雅思大作文题目：人性的贪婪和自私

雅思大作文范文：

We are in a selfish world today. We are so busylooking out for number one, so saturated by ourown problems, our own issues and our own little andoften petty concerns that we failed to see how allcould grow and being benefited by working togetheras a team. As far as I am concerned, the reason of the individual greed and selfishness wereactually caused by the faster and faster development and more and more competition of thesociety.

Some people yearn to return to the old and traditional values of respect for the family andthe local community in order to create a better world to live in. According to them , peoplewere more honest and warm-hearted and the manner of traditional treating each other wassimple and selfless in the past.

Personally, I do not support this view . Even in the past, greed and selfishness existed inour society. These two factors never disappeared since human have instinctive material needs,individual wants and desires would swell surely with the advances of life and society. Moreover,old tradition has its own limit and could only adapt for a certain period. I believe that the keypoint here is to create a better world is the way of formulating moral criteria and improving thespiritual education. For example, religions play a significant role in respect for the family andthe community.

To sum up, selfishness and greed cannot be avoided and eliminated, because they exist,more or less, in everyone’s heart, even sometimes they contribute to the prosperity. Tocontrol them depends on the well basic education from every part of our society, such asfamily, communities, academic institutions, etc.
