there is no fixed answer either. some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. but i personally think that people should not be too selfish. caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship. in conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. however, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others. are modern people becoming more selfish?main comparisonscontexts _1_ are changingin the past people put caring, sharing and generosity in the first _2_.nowadays, people seem to be more _3_about themselves._4_are changing too.people in the past appeared to be modest and self-effacing(谦让的).people may strive to achieve their own _5_ at the price of their coworkers.the authors und
