At first, I thought thay survival is not hard choice inorder someone to be alive. But, now I believed that survival is difficult.It is hard of thinking of an decision. After reading that text"Is Survival Selfish" I noticed that people react to their instinct. As a group, we were talking about whether we saved ourselves or the loved ones.
