I would say this one in particular is ill-posed. Paraphrasing hirundo, people are naturally generous toward a small circle of precious lives (and skeptical at best of the rest of the world). Asking about their attitude in general is meaningless.

However, my point is that this assertion is by no means universally nor obviously a hard truth, and indeed still a large area of philosophical debate.
