the topic for tis discussion is whether Self Interest is much prefered over Coorperation.for ppl who don noe wat self interest is, it means selfishness. more like i care for myself rather than others in order 2 succeed in life. i hv my own goals n i shudn't share them in order 2 achieve success. quite interestin rite? n then there's coorperation where i shud b altruistic which is to think of others b4 thinkin of myself. n well work wit others in order 2 achieve sumtin. sounds pretty gud too.there's tis philosopher called Fredrich Nietzsche who was a strong believer in self interest. but y? he claimed tat men wud oni succeed if the we get rid of the Weak portion of society n let the Strong portion rule n bring themselves up to success. take Adolf Hitler for instance, he was a strong believer in Nietzsche. long b4, the jews controlled the economy in germany while the germans had the power....but isn't it unfair tat if we had pwer, but no cash? wat's the whole point of power then? so in hitler's case...he decided 2 exterminate the jews. tat's how the World War II started. donald trump....a multi billionaire. success is his middle name. but do u noe how he came up in the 1st place? he was to run a family business but had to go tru a lot of hardship b4 achievin great success tat now shows off wit great pride. he started off wit the family business but however he needed help wit the finance.so he decided 2 get a few bank loans.... but sumhow later on he found himself in major debts.. he had a lot trouble. n later on, he came up wit his own way witout any help from other.... buyin places like the taj mahal casino in vegas. he started to build his empire. so is coorperation really a bad thing tat it cause the donald to fail at 1st? did workin 2gether wit banks for bank loans the major turnin point of his faith? other examples of self interests r such as Justin Timberlake. i don usually favor talkin abt him but, it's true enuf. a pretty face from memphis, tennesse, who was once in a band called N'sync. sure they made n sold a lot of records...n wen it was time...JT decided 2 go along n make his own sellin records...n now he's makin more money then he did in N'sync.so is coorperation again a major failure for life? is self interest the turnin point here? another example is John Lennon...well many of u newbies wud b like who's John Lennon? well he's one of the Beattles. omg the Beattles were the greatest thing tat eva hit the music world....n they'r stil remembered till 2day. however, wen they broke up john lennon decided 2 go solo too. n made a lot of new records n sold many as well... made tonnes of cash... so is tis true? does coorperation bend over to self interest here? or was it bcuz bands like of the Beattles or N'sync tat made tis singers famous n made it easier for them 2 to sell a record? cuz:cuz wen u walk in 2 a music store, u wanna buy an album...but ur not sure. then u look 2 a cd cover wit JT on it. but ur not sure how gud izit, then u go "wait a min, he's tat guy from N'sync, i bet he'll sound gud". so as u can c, it gives more confidence 2 the consumers 2 purchase tis cds n usualy witout eva thinkin....so wud tis mean coorperation actually benefits ppl?another point from Nietzsche was : Y shud i care n waste my time thinkin abt the poor n weak? it was their decision 2 b major failures in life. they din wanna study. but i did. they din wanna work. but i did. so do i hv 2 help them in order 2 succeed? they chose their faith. so y muz i ply god 2 help tis ppl wen they noe they shud work their butts off like wat Donald trump did instead of begin down the streets? y muz i fall back 2 help tis ppl wen i go up n achieve greatly but bcuz of coorperation, i hv to give in?so y is coorperation so great? it is not absolute. it is neav infinate. how wud b gud? take United Nations for example. they practice coorperation definately. n of course they hv succeeded in many areas. such as unicef. a body formed to take care of the education n food of poor n weak children, victims of war n sufferin. n oso the world health organization(WHO). but how do we explain coorperation in the UN wen it came 2 the War on Iraq situation? out of the 5 big vitos powers....(US<>
think abt it. finally does self interest actually govern coorperation? meanin does it hv to start from self interest in order 2 hv coorperation? does one person say i want tis! n the rest say yes...wen want it too cuz it wud benefit us too...n so we work hard on it....is tat how it works?
so pls do give me ur opinions on tis k? ciao.
