Collective Responsibility -v- Individual Responsibility.

[DanaC]

I'm already familiar with the fact that the vast majority of women argue with emotions rather than logic and reason. When it comes to separating emotion from logic, facts, and reason, men are naturally better.

Utter bollocks.

However, the idea that even if being 'altruistic', we are in fact acting selfishly is not so ridiculous. The 'selfish gene' is a theory that holds water as far as I can see. HUman's, like every animal, act in their own best interests, even when we appear to be contravening that.

Doesn't, however, answer the political question relating to collective responsibility versus individual responsibility.
