Greed is one of the main aspect of human nature. Like many psychological symptoms, it is usually distributed within the population, which means that the majority have intermediate greed, while some are very minimal or highly greedy. Using a variety of psychological assessments, this personal tendency to lure goes to stay stable within a person over time, suggests that it is largely difficult within our psychologists, our experiences of our experiences. It is less susceptible to the vagina. And with any such comprehensive human feature, there should be some type of evolutionary instructions for us to demonstrate greed for us, not just to support the principles that underline our modern societies. There should be some benefits that promote greed through generations.
Therefore, before considering greed as a sin, we consider the good of greed. At first glance, this may look clear. However, it is not as simple as just imagining that greed inspires people to improve. Acquisition of money or property is not always a good thing for a person. Want the best results, and there is a difference between more want. Maximizing the result of any situation depends on the cost and balance of benefits, a rational process to achieve the best, and how you define it. A greedy person, however, can achieve the negative consequences of his greed, can go into debt for example, or to buy more, or separate people around you in their tireless discovery. The need for continuous dissatisfaction and more can be the cause of rationality.
If we really hypothesize that greed is under evolutionary effect, what can be the mechanisms that run it? Does greed lead to more purchase and increase the chances of passing on your genes?
It first seems to be more complex. Greed may appear in a drive for more children, but it can also push to be more and more sexually partners. Greed can motivate people to invest more in their social relations, which, however,, to get sexual encounters, temporarily, though, though.
Surprisingly, in the title research paper, ‘greedy bastards: testing the relationship between more and immoral behavior’, dealing for greed was significantly associated with acceptance and self-reported engagement in immoral behaviors. These included public transport, illegally downloading films, switching price tags in supermarkets and fare to spread gossip. (The same study showed that getting greedy was also associated with the possibility of increasing the possibility of accepting bribe in a laboratory-based game.) In significantly, important,) Greed in this study, a partner in this study, a partner in this study. A strong relationship was also found between the desire to be cheated, and actually doing so.
But does this ebbhus infidelity result in more children, low, or no difference? In the real world, or at least its modern European version, greed is not correlated with more children. In a study, representatives of 2,367 persons of the Dutch population, greed, was actually associated with low children, but as required, with a greater number of sexual partners, and short relationship length.
Of course, in our evolutionary journey, there is a modern era with its modern sensations, but an eye is a nap. With the genes that affect obesity, the advance of genes promoting greed may be related to different circumstances from the current era. Perhaps this relationship between the greed found in Dutch studies and many sexual partners in our past, rather than the current, can be more relevant to evolutionary pressures in favor of greed. May be, in different cultures or time, greed can give more birth than less children. Especially when children were connected to self-sacrifice (for men, at least), access to more resources would probably be an important driver of more children having more children and their chances of survival. In addition, chasing the strategy of many brief sexual encounters can be a successful evolutionary strategy, with many children who are genetically diverse.

Perhaps this is not surprising, in the absence of brain disorders, greed is characterized by greed, that our understanding of the origin of the everyies from within the brain is more primitive than some other sins. The limit of our knowledge comes from laboratory-based experiments rather than uses of nature through the disease. However, we keep a ink as basic processes within the brain that outlines it.
Extreme, greedy individuals are more likely to make decisions in front of personal benefits that are high risk for the company they work or in the society in which they live. There are many factors that run this type of risk, but our decisions are undoubtedly informed by our own experiences. When we make a risky decision, we adjust our decision making according to whatever we have learned from previous decisions. Our choice is affected by whether the results of those previous decisions are positive or negative. We learn from good or bitter experience. In theory, then, greedy people who make risky decisions on the ongoing basis can show differences on how they evaluate the results of their previous options.
There are equipment available for researchers in this field that allow assessment of results of decisions in the brain. This technique is the center on the brainwave signature recorded by the skull electrode on an EEG. If you make a decision, and the result is negative, then your brainwaves display a special pattern called reaction-related negativity. If the result is positive on your side, brainwaves display a different pattern, a sign called P3. By monitoring the size of these brainwave markers in decision -making individuals, researchers can assess brain mechanisms that provide reaction to the options you have made.
In one study, twenty university students studying economics were tasked with a game that featured financial risk. He was presented with a picture of a balloon on a screen, which represents the value of € 1,000. The participants had to decide if they want to inflate the balloon. With each inflation, the value of the balloon doubled, but if it bursts, they will lose all their money. At each level of the game, the risk of bursting with each inflation increased. The students were told that whatever was the most money at the end of the work, it would take 100 € 100 of real money. In addition to the function of balloons, they were all evaluated for greed as a personality characteristic using a questionnaire.
Researchers found, not completely unexpectedly, that students who score excessively for greed were more likely to influence the balloon and burst the risk. However, those greedy students also demonstrated that when the balloon exploded, the negativity indicated to the response, the electric marker of appreciating a poor result, was reduced compared to less students in greed. This means that non-rural students appreciate a negative result for their decision, which guides the learning to decide, adjusting expectations and future behavior. In contrast, greedy people have reduced ability to change their behavior according to their mistakes, poor results or punishment.
This is not just the ability to appreciate a bad result that appears to be impaired in greedy people. His ability to appreciate a good result has also decreased. In another study by the same group of researchers, participants were asked to complete a resource dilemma task, where players have to decide to do selfish work for their own benefits at the cost of their partner, or sports Everyone has to cooperate to benefit everyone. At this time, subjects jointly were asked to cultivate a fictional fish-khet with a partner, but it was considered another participant, but actually a sustakog. The subjects had to choose how much fish to take in each round. If both individuals took two fish, it will maximize overall revenue, if the participant takes more than two fish, it will increase their revenue at the cost of their partner, and if both took more than two fish, then it will increase their revenue at the cost of their partner. The revenue of both will be reduced.
As expected, greedy persons were likely to take more than two fish, despite the knowledge that it would be at the cost of their partner, and possibly also themselves. But the EEG also showed that P3 was reduced among those greedy participants, this electrical signature of a good result. Therefore, greed appears to be closely associated with a lack of sensitivity to both negative and positive feedback, spoiling the decision -making process.
Originally, these EEG studies suggest that greed is due to failure to learn from previous mistakes, or at least to learn, less efficiently. There are similarities with the greed displayed by children, inability in early life to appreciate that cooperation and cooperation, instead of greed, can eventually occur in our selfishness. While a child will have less learning opportunities, a greedy adult would not have learned effectively from these occasions.
Problem with pathology
We celebrate those who have received great money by expressing rejection together. We believe that this character characteristic has both positive and negative consequences, for the person and for all. And it has the central principle of our reluctance, which has a disease or to labeled it as an abnormally unusual. Within the complex tapestry of human condition, the concept of ‘greed’ remains an elusive thread. Greed is naturally subjective, and its decision is colored by transferring social norms and values. To do pathology, we also need to struggle with questions of autonomy and accountability in our current world, where personal choice is sacred.
And due to its subjective nature, even marking or measuring greed is problematic. Greed is not a monolithic unit, and the behavior associated with it depicts complications of human experience and emotions. Consider individuals whose funds are dwarfs from all over the countries: According to an Oxfam report in 2020, the world’s richest twenty two men have more money than all women in Africa; And the world’s 2,153 billionaires have more funds than 4.6 billion people who are 60 percent of the global population. One can argue that greed – an unquenchable desire for more at all costs – that is the one that runs this accumulation of wealth, and the power, privilege and control that comes with it. However, I suspect that greed applies only to minority as a final or unique inspiration. This ‘greedy’ behavior is not only due to internal greed. It is a mixed palette, which is collided with the colors of other personality symptoms. Materialism-The attitude of the approach that property is one of the main aspect of life and is important for welfare and happiness. envy. But also, competition, duty (which is often correlated with ‘misunderstanding), and sometimes desire to use your money for philanthropic purposes.
Perhaps both Gordon Gecko and St. Paul were correct.
