Surviving does not require someone to be selfish, saving yourself is human nature. During a crisis people should not be criticized for taking action to save themselves. Lane Wallace mentions in "Is Survival Selfish", that J. Bruce Ismay's reputation was ruined because he fled the Titanic to save himself. What Ismay did by leaving on a lifeboat from the Titanic is possibly the only reasonable action he could take to save himself. But instead of claiming him as a hero for helping the women and children first, he was perceived as selfish for getting on that life boat.
There is another survival story mentioned by Laurence Gonzales, in "Deep
Survival" where Gonzales tells about a girl named Juliane Koepcke, who survived a plane crash and took action to save herself. The others who survived the crash on impact just sat there waiting for someone to rescue them, But Juliane managed to survive because she did not wait for someone to come save her, she took actions into her own hands, used knowledge she'd received from her father, and found a river where she was rescued. Gonzales states" searchers are always amazed to find people who have died while in possession of everything they need to survive." That is what selfish is. Having everything you need to live and see your friends and family again and not doing anything. These examples of people saving themselves helps show that surviving does not require one to be selfish.
Sometimes during a crisis the only thing you can do is to try yourself to survive,for example in the memoir "Night" Wiesel survives, he was cable of passing all the selections and he did what the guards told him to ensure his safety and possibility of surviving. Another excerpt is from" Is Survival Selfish" by
Wallace states, "In fact, survivors are driven by instinct not civilization," meaning not all survivors are thinking when they save someone, many admit to acting on impulse. Although it may be argued that survival is selfish because the survivor was
