important thing in human nature

I would not think of anything else other than survival as human nature. Humans are genetically programmed to survive using anything and everything. All of the things we believe as human nature eventually are connected to or lead to survival. Every other things we do is for us to survive and therefore there is no other human nature than survival.

What is a human nature? Human nature is a distinguishing characteristics that humans tend to have naturally. There should be many characteristics that humans naturally have. I think choosing the #1 trait among those is somewhat subjective. According to some people, survival might not be as important as other characteristic, such as love or ambition. Who knows, it's totally possible. Basically, the answer to the question is based on opinions. But I agree with the idea that all the characteristics all lead up to survival since the fundamental goal of organisms is to survive.

There are many aspects regarding human nature; it includes vast ideas such as survival, greed, desire, love, jealousy and more. As you mentioned, I also believe that human's first priority is to survive: to eat, drink, reproduce and more. Personally, I believe that human nature's second priority is greed and desire.

Human often desires lots of things that they don't even need. For instance, some people tend not to share their food even though they are full because they are greedy regarding food. Like this case, it is usual for human to be greedy. In addition, people always desire something. We desire love, success, reputation and wealth. Even if we achieve what we want, we tend to crave more and more, being greedy. Due to the greediness people inclined to have, they get jealous. Jealousy often is derived from greed; as a result, I believe that greed can be the primary human nature that can derive another human nature.

I agree with you that survival is number one priority in human nature because most things that we do is just to survive, we might not think that way but all we do is just trying to survive. There are many different aspects that contribute to our human nature and survival but at the end everything comes down to survival. For ex: Ambition, in class we sort of agreed that it is not part of human nature, i slightly believe that too, but what is the point of being ambitious without survival? People are ambitious in order not to be in situation when slight mistakes may threaten to their survival. There are many aspects of human nature, but, eventually everything comes down to survival.

I think desire to stay in majority is second priority after survival. Of course people can argue that staying in majority is related to survival, but staying in majority has more implications than merely surviving. People have tendencies to stay with more people and get familiar with others. People try their best to avoid solitude by grouping themselves into other tribe. Thus concepts such as tribes or guilds were created based on the human needs. Had it been human nature to stay individual, there would not been many nations in the world.

I agree that survival is one of the most important traits of human nature because human beings tend to do and think about what is best for them and do what is necessary for them to survive. However, other traits such as love and fear are also top on the list of human nature as they play a big part in the decision making of our lives.
