Answer 1

Egoism

Step-by-step explanation:

Egoism refers to a moral theory which claims that acting according to one's self-interest is the ideal route to be morally good. Egoists also assume that if everyone behaves in their own self-interest then the social system is more effective to fix moral dilemmas to all parties' satisfaction. It's based on the premise that individuals are usually the best judges of what's in their own interest, and they're far more driven to work hard to support themselves than to accomplish some other goal.
