This decision will influence other decisions and the type of attitudes we could have towards others. If we think that we are the product of evolution our decision making might be more competitive than thinking that we are here to learn and share with others. Do we learn individually or with the help of others? If we think that we effectivelly learn with the help of others, it will lead us to appreciate diversity as a source of creativity, innovation and learning. If we think that we learn individually it could lead us to think that we do everything only by ourselves and to look for our own benefit. Do we live in a world of scarce resources or a place where we can obtain the resources to satisfy our needs? These are the sort of questions and decisions that we need to answer and might influence events in our lives in the lives of other people. Including such events as Rwanda genocide.
