People of today are selfish and greedy. Write your opinion
Answer: You can say peole are greedy because most of them have a me first mentality and explain more. Then you can say they are selfish becasue people aren't polite and help they only benifit themselfs. And they are greedy because they take from you but don't give back or something. Let me know if I can change something
Explanation:
Why are so many people nasty, selfish, and unpleasant?
I agree that there are a lot of greedy and selfish people, about 60% of the world's population. Everybody may see that even in many charming fairy stories they have at least one antagonist. I believe there are two sorts of selfish people, namely people who actually have to perform egotistical things because of their survival and who never have the feeling. As you can see, there are two reasons why individuals are selfish, greedy, and uneasy. There are motives for survival and avarice. But every reason isn't good enough to be egotistical, since I think this world will be full of peace, love, and happiness if we are all selfish and kind. Moreover, today's youth can see the egotism and materialism of their children. Many youths, particularly those from industrialized nations, affluent backgrounds, and nuclear families can be imitated by their protecting parents. This hidden parenting can lead to the self-centered, self-centered growth of young people, who look after themselves and care for themselves. A Pew Research study has shown that over 65% of young people in the United States and the EU believe that the money is vital since they may use money to buy goods or make themselves more attractive to satisfy their daily needs. However, it is disturbing that more than 68% of the youth interviewed acknowledged they were not willing to work hard to obtain their money. Younger generations nowadays might be selfish, greedy and hungry since they are reluctant to complete their job. Pressure on parents to invite and luxuriate their children in every possible club for pace is just an indication of a sense of egotism established in the previous decade. And society as a whole pays for it, not only children suffer. They're not. They're not. But opponents could say that self-help among people, particularly young folks, has become a new trend in giving to charities or volunteers overseas. However, voluntary work can only be one way for many students and working people to become more visible and more "constructed." Substantial reason, behind their 'species of acts,' cannot be termed altruistic people, but they can only be viewed as greedy and egotistic. Lastly, greed and egotism may now distinguish people from others. Many individuals, especially young, are showing how gullible and self-conscious we are, with a ruthless behavior to exploit natural resources and egoistic attitudes. Devastating disasters and tragedies of nature caused by apathy and selfishness remind people of the harmfulness of greed and egotism. The good of mankind and the peace of our society are the prerogative of everyone to become more selfless and caring individuals.

Every person is complitely unique Speech
Everything in this world has a purpose. It might seem worthless, but the fact is that everyone plays a vital role in this Earth. People should appreciate what they have and always be grateful. As human beings, we are different in many ways. We are all created by the same God, but we do have some variations. Not all things are perfect, adorable and probably the best. But trust me; there is only that one thing that makes one to be exceptional, regardless of a family background and other problems. Everyone is unique and gifted in some way.I have learned not to judge a book by its cover as the chapters of the book and the author might be wonderful as one gets to know more about it. All things in the past do not determine the future. It takes courage to stand up and fight for what you want. Having the ability to win the battle is the most precious thing. One might be physically taken for granted because of height, race and appearance, only to find that the motive is to serve the purpose, obviously doing all that with great pleasure. Attitude and behaviour can take a person to places that they have never been. It also takes a positive mind-set to fulfil the dreams as well as what the heart desires. In life, we should stand together to turn the world into a better place that will be meaningful.

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon. The sun was blazing over the roof, baking us all like cookies in an oven. I was lying on the sofa reading an old book. I was home alone because my mom had gone to her friend's wedding. She had asked me to come along. But who would want to step out in the scorching heat? The only activity worth doing on a hot afternoon is to read a good book while sipping lemonade. I had just begun to enjoy the book when there was loud knock on the front door. I looked up and wondered if it were a robber, a salesperson, or just the next-door lady looking for sugar. Our neighbors were funny people. They would run out of things at the weirdest hours.

Answer:
It was my first day in my school after shifting. I studied upto 5th standard in my previous school which shut down due to some reason. So, in this school I had to go in 6A8(my section). In my previous school, the class boards were written in normal numbers like 5-A. And over her they were written in Roman numbers like VA-7, like that. And I was really weak in Roman numbers. So when I reached the new school, I was irritated at the fact of the class plates being in Roman form. However I knew that 6 was IV or VI but not sure. So what I did was I stood in front of IV-A8, thing it was VI-A8. And 15 minutes passed like that and not a single student entered the class. I was like, "They all had to be absent today?!". Then a teacher passed by me. She asked me which class I was in. I just pointed to IV-A8 . She just smiled and left, not a single word uttered from her mouth. Then with all my guts, I went in the vacant classroom, took off my abaya, kept my bag and was just roaming in the class. Suddenly I noticed a Roman numerals chart in the class, When I saw it, I directly saw the Roman numeral for the number "6", it was "VI". I did not remember which class I entered in, so I went outside the class to check it, I saw IV but until that I had forgotten what was on the chart, IV or VI. So, once again went back in the class, came out of the class. Then I knew what a big blunder I had made! Wore the Abaya, put the bag on, switched off the lights, fan and AC's(yeah it had 3 AC'S). Stood outside for couple of minutes and as I am an introvert, I was not free to ask people where was VI-A8. But now a lot of time passed. There was a girl just running to her class, as the first period already started and in a haste I asked her to please direct me to VI-A8. she refused first, as she was getting late, but then I insisted so she agreed. She took me to the 2nd floor, and pointed out at the end of a corridor and said that it was the last class in the corridor. I said thank you but she ran in an opposite direction not listening to me... However when I finally reached the class, already 20 minutes were over. A poster making competition was going on.. My class teacher welcomed me, introduced me, asked me to fill a form and then handed me the poster and explained me the topic, it was, "Environment Day"! While making the poster, I took an oath to learn Roman numbers perfectly. And later on I learned that actually 3-5 grades were having holidays. So now I know why that teacher just smiled and went... However this was the most embarrassing moment of my life which now you know. By the way, now I am in 9th in that same school, IISJ. My previous school, HIS. In Jeddah, KSA!
True incident..
Is it relatable..
Anyone from Jed, KSA?
And anyone studying in IISJ or used to study in HIS?
