While neither the standards nor the texts insist that all action is self-interested, they show no interest whatever in altruism or compassion. They aren't interested. We might wonder, however, whether justice is served in all of this, but neither the standards nor the texts discuss justice. Needless to say, there is nothing of this in the standards or the texts. Almsgiving is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
Compassion is perhaps the fundamental Buddhist virtue.
The standards say nothing about these issues. But virtually all religious traditions condemn contemporary consumer culture for nurturing attachments to wealth and the material goods of this life. The content standards and accompanying textbooks are silent about this problem. Technology and economic growth are uncritically praised in the standards, and there is no discussion of their possible costs to, for example, the environment. Western theology has not been particularly sensitive to environmental issues until the last several decades, but discussions of stewardship and the sacredness of nature have become pervasive in contemporary theology.
