In the text, the author discusses how young children are more altruistic than older children. Do you think you’ve become more selfish as you’ve aged? Why or why not? How do you think we can hold on to our altruism as we age?.

i believe that we become less altruistic than younger children. i believe this because younger children can be ok with sharing a toy, and when their friend gets hurt, they become sad and try to help them. i personally, think that we become more selfish as we age. for example, i would never want to share my phone with anyone, and when my friend gets hurt, i tent to think about how i didnt get hurt and how dumb they looked while failing. i think that we should look at the world and the social issues that we have to try to fix some of them. i think that, instead of trying not to make eye contact with the homeless man, we should smile and wave at him, or maybe even give him some food, water, or some money.
