If we were living in the jungle no one has to care about anything beyond their own survival, but if you live in a 'civilized' society then by definition you can't behave like you are in a jungle and there are certain responsibilities on adults. For instance employing women may bring additional days offs due to child birth and the society has to structurally think about these things and security and well being of the entire society or the generation may well end in a single run. Short term thinking does not survive. Greed and selfishness is not new. There are always those who live in civilized societies and all the benefits it entails but do not want the responsibilities that the word 'civilized' places on them both in thought and action, and want to pretend they are living in a jungle for purely selfish reasons.
