Egoism is a broad ethical doctrine that claims moral decisions are (and, in some cases, should be) made in self-interest. At the opposite end of the spectrum would be Altruism (also sometimes called benevolence), which states that decisions can (and, in some cases should) be completely selfless. Hobbes argues that even apparently altruistic acts can be viewed through egoism (as selfish) in that a person may gain a good feeling or some other benefit by helping others. His opponents would argue that this is a pessimistic or negative world view. What do you think? Do you believe moral decisions/actions can be selfless? Or, are all of our decision made with at least some self-interest in mind? Whatever your opinion, explain your reasoning. It may be useful for you to review your class notes and/or pages 310-343 of the textbook. Though this is an informal writing assignment, your reflection should still be typed with correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, and paragraphing (where appropriate). If you cite any sources, you should also include properly formatted citations in either MLA or APA style. Your reflection should be at least 200 words. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE. Reflections that contain plagiarism will receive a grade of zero. Late assignments will not be accepted.

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
