Question

Read the following selection from the section "Be Kind to Everyone, Not Just People in Need." The trouble with restricting our kindness to "convenient" cases is that we fail to recognize that we need to be kind to everyone, no matter who they are, their level of wealth or fortune, their values and beliefs, their behavior and attitudes, their place of origin, their likeness to ourselves, etc. By choosing to be kind only to those we feel are deserving of kindness, we are unleashing our own biases and judgment, and only practicing conditional kindness. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the selection above?

a) Kindness should only be extended to those in dire need.
b) Kindness should be conditional based on a person's beliefs and attitudes.
c) Being kind to everyone, regardless of circumstances, helps overcome biases.
d) Kindness should be limited to those similar to ourselves.

Answer 1

The conclusion that can be drawn from the selection is that being kind to everyone helps overcome biases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conclusion that can be drawn from the selection above is that being kind to everyone, regardless of circumstances, helps overcome biases. The selection emphasizes the importance of extending kindness to everyone, regardless of their level of wealth, values and beliefs, behavior and attitudes, place of origin, or resemblance to ourselves.

By choosing to be kind only to those we feel are deserving, we are allowing our biases and judgments to influence our actions. However, by practicing kindness towards everyone, we can overcome these biases and foster a more inclusive and compassionate society.
