    The details are as follows:

    The first is to deny that labor practice fundamentally distinguishes man from animals, and deduces human nature from the attributes of animals.

    Second, this viewpoint defines the essence and nature of human beings from the perspectives of ethics, morality, and values, and is an idealistic view of history.

    Third, this view is neither in line with historical facts nor with today's social reality.

    Fourth, this viewpoint exaggerates the selfishness and personal interests of people in real life into the selfish nature of human beings, and exaggerates the nature of the exploiting class into the nature of human beings. "Selfishness" is the ideology of the exploiting class.

    and the core of the values of life, with the proletariat.

    "selflessness" and "serving the people" are fundamentally opposed.

    "Human nature" is an abbreviation for attributes that are unique to people. "Selfishness" refers to putting personal interests above the interests of others, society, and collectives, and relying on means and methods that infringe upon and damage the interests of others, society, and collectives to achieve personal interests. The "theory of human selfishness" means that any social state, any historical era, and any person at any time pursues "selfish" interests, and uses it as the theoretical basis and starting point for explaining and demonstrating human behavior and specific social phenomena.

    Historical materialism. It is believed that human nature is social nature based on labor and practice, which is specific and historical, and is mainly manifested as class nature in class society.

    Human nature is selfish, the so-called "man is not for himself, heaven and earth will perish", this sentence is the true expression of human nature. But this sentence has a premise, that is, "man must be a member of society", if man is detached from the collective of society, then man is selfish, but this sentence is not entirely wrong. Human nature is selfish, but this selfishness is conducive to the unity between people and the progress of society.

    People are social people, human nature is also socialized, people in the survival and development of society, must abide by certain social rules, if people do not abide by social rules, then human society will fall into chaos, the relationship between people will become a life-and-death struggle, in that case, human society will not be able to progress, human beings will also perish.

    A bourgeois outlook on life and morality.

    It is believed that human nature is selfish, self-interest is the starting point and end of all human behavior, there is no one who lives for others, and that human selfish nature is eternal and unchanging. This is to interpret the essence of man as a mere natural attribute, and to treat man's legitimate personal interests as the selfish interests of others, and in fact to reduce man to the level of animals.

    Six manifestations of selfishness.

    1. Selfish people only focus on themselves and are indifferent to others.

    2. Selfish people like to take advantage of small advantages, they will be complacent about unexpected gains, greedy for benefits and not afraid of damaging friendship, calculating, fighting for baht, and not caring about other people's eyes and evaluations at all.

    3. Selfish people are indifferent to emotions, they only have interests in their eyes, and they will not sacrifice themselves for the sake of feelings.

    4. Selfish people are sensitive and suspicious: they always have a projection mentality, feeling that others want to take advantage of themselves, so they will take precautions everywhere, be cautious step by step, and often spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

    5. Selfish people are stingy and stingy: they will always calculate how to take advantage of others, "not suffering" is their philosophy of life, if they suffer at some point, they will definitely try their best to earn back from others, even if it is their own friends.

    6. Selfish people lack real friends: they can't make true friends, because friends need to take from each other in moderation, they only know how to take, but they are never willing to give, so they can get along with each other, they are all people with the same personality, everyone calculates, and they are familiar with each other's routines, but they can get along well.

    Does morality derive from reason or emotion? Hume said in "A Treatise of Human Nature" that man would rather destroy the whole world than hurt one of his fingers, which is not in conflict with reason. Morality does not derive from reason, which is an important point made by Hume at the beginning of his moral theory.

    It is true that everyone is selfish. This selfishness is mainly manifested in the maintenance of one's own right to subsistence and one's own property rights, and in the protection of one's own interests. There is nothing wrong with this kind of selfishness, which is a legitimate interest and is also protected by law.

    If there is no such selfishness, it is a strange thing. However, this kind of selfishness is conditional, it cannot harm the interests of others (it is not okay to harm others and benefit oneself), and when it conflicts with the interests of the public, it must be subordinated to the interests of the public (it is not okay to harm the public and private interests), and even need to be abandoned when necessary (such as sacrificing one's life for the country).

    People are selfish, it's just that many people don't want to admit their selfish side, ask yourself, aren't you doing things for personal gain? If you have a big apple, maybe you will give it to others, and when there is a good opportunity to make a fortune or a good opportunity to develop, will you think of giving it to your friends first? Be selfish and rational, as long as you don't do things that harm others and benefit yourself, then your selfishness is forgivable...

    Isn't there a saying that man does not perish for his own sake. It seems that all people are for themselves, except for their parents, they give all their care and love to their children without reservation, and unselfish lives cannot exist, and people who don't even love themselves can't be loved. So there's absolutely nothing wrong with being selfish! The only thing to pay attention to is to follow the laws of society and the rules of the game, otherwise it will be restricted and counterproductive.

    From this point of view, people are selfish, but in dealing with the same thing, everyone has different ways to deal with it, and from these different performances can truly show a person's essence and selfishness. So I think it's all relative. That person doesn't want to think much about himself, that's impossible.

    Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are so many selfless and fearless Chinese citizens in every era.

    Answer] :d Answer] d. Analysis:

    On the question of the essence of human beings, Marx pointed out: "The essence of the middle man is not an abstraction inherent in a single person, but in its reality, it is the sum of all social relations. However, the bourgeois theory of human nature propagated many erroneous theories, and he started from abstract man, saying that human nature is free and that human nature is selfish, and this viewpoint is precisely contrary to Marx's belief that the essence of human beings is the sum total of all social relations in its reality, and is therefore wrong.

    Therefore, choose D.

From a rigorous scientific point of view, wind is the movement of air relative to the ground. When the plane is in flight, because it has left the ground, the concept of "wind" actually no longer exists, what exists is the movement of the air relative to the aircraft, the air flow. If we are talking about the concept of headwinds per se, which only affects the aircraft during the ground run-up preparation for take-off, as well as during landing and landing, it does not make much sense for objects in the air. >>>More
