Answer: self interest

Explanation:

Mr. Lincoln once remarked to a fellow-passenger that all men were triggered by selfishness in doing good. The fellow-passenger was antagonizing this position when they passed over a corduroy bridge which spanned a slough. As they were crossing this bridge, they saw an old sow on the bank which was making a terrible noise because her pigs got into the slough and could drown.

As the old coach was climbing the hill, Mr. Lincoln said “Driver, can’t you stop just a moment?” Mr. Lincoln then jumped out, ran back and then lifted the little pigs out of the mud they were in and placed them on the bank. His companion remarked when he returned that "where does selfishness come in what he just did?

Mr Lincoln said that "he whould have had no peace of mind if he had left that the suffering old sow to be worried about her pigs and helping her was because he wanted peace of mind which was selfishness.

What was scientific racism
patriot [66]

Answer:

Since enslaved people were first brought to the US, promoters of anti-Black racism and white supremacy co-opted the authority of science to justify racial inequality. A history of pseudoscientific methods “proving” white biological superiority and flawed social studies used to show “inherent” racial characteristics still influence society today.

This was not unique to the US, however. Examples of scientific racism can also be found in NAZI Germany prior to and during WWII, during which time German scientists produced literature ranking the various races of the world, with Arians at the top and Jews and Blacks at the bottom.

oksian1 [2.3K]
Because Thomas Carlyle who was a writer and philospher, made up the phrase that economics is  "dismal science" (dismal meaning depressing)  because he believed that humans are trapped in a world where population will always grow and limit natural resources and bring widespread misery.
