Resolved: All human acts are selfish.

Contention 1: Opponent's contentionsSubpoint 1: The world or IMy opponent says here that he would chose to save the world instead of himself, but this is indeed selfish. Why? For this we apply his own thoughts of he can die instantly or the world can die instantly. It's simple, because he himself doesn't want to be alone in the world and he intern would go insane and possibly commit suicide. Then there's the possibility of Con wanting to be a hero. If he dies for all of humanity he knows that he will go down as a hero and go throughout history being known as the guy who saved the human race from total destruction. Both of these points are selfish. He A) doesn't want to be alone and B) wants to be a hero. Con may state that that may not be his intention of being a hero, but it will happen regardless if he wants to admit it or not. Subpoint 2: Rapper He would not steal, because though he might not get caught in reality he knows that he would be caught dead read in the afterlife. (not trying to start a religious debate) A few of his songs (Lord's Prayer) and his bio suggests that he is religious to a degree. He knows that stealing is immoral, but also knows that it is a mortal sin. (http://www.dailycatholic.org...) He also knows that stealing small will lead to more stealing, but of greater value. He value's himself and does not want to spend an eternity suffering in Hell. Thus he would be willing to lose 5000 Euros to have a chance at getting into heaven vs. automatically going to hell.Contention 2: Humans are animalistic Sigmund Freud has stated that humans are selfishly aggressive. Let me give you an example. Say you're walking down the street and you see a homeless man begging for change. You give the man change. You feel good knowing that now he has money to get some food into his stomach, but Freud has agrued that this was only done, because you want to save the genes of the human race and you want it to continue. Also that you now get a feel good feeling and if you didn't you would feel guilty and ashamed. You could have easily done it just so you can feel good about yourself. Here he is quoted."I have found little that is 'good' about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud, or perhaps even think."Thomas Hobbes has also shown that humanity, by nature, is rotten. That we will rape and pillage everything unless we have a threat. This of course being laws and punishment. Otherwise we would end up in chaos and anarchy. (http://www.iep.utm.edu...) “one, the postulate of human greed by which each man insists upon his own private use of common property; the other, the postulate of natural reason, by which each man strives to avoid violent death” (De Cive, Epistle Dedicatory).We can see here above that simply we go to avoid death and we all know that one of the leading fears is death. Why do we fear death? What will happen to our families when we die? How will I be remembered? Could I have done better? What's next? Am I going to heaven or hell? These are all questions that we ponder when it comes to the afterlife. We simply fear the unknown.
