"People who think of themselves as tough-minded and realistic tend to take it for granted that human nature is selfish and that life is a struggle in which only the fittest may survive" (4)
I agree with the author that people often use animal analogies to condone ruthless and selfish behavior. I also agree that this is fallacious; human beings are animals, and we are by far the most successful species on the planet as of now. What makes us human, not what makes tigers tigers, is what we should embrace in our everyday lives for the common good.
