TOPIC: Many apply the law of the jungle (i.e. "the survival of the fittest") to human behavior. Is it more important to be
highly competitive or highly competent in order to be successful? Write an introductory paragraph giving your position
on this issue. Remember to use the parts of the introductory paragraph.

I don’t think that this is the true because human not are stronger but human made weapons and could kill animals.

But if you are in a room with only another person and an anfitrion and the anfitrion say you have to kill the other person
to go out in that case you can use the survival of the fittest

"Truly, to tell lies is not honorable; but when the truth entails tremendous ruin, to speak dishonorably is pardonable.”–
Sophocles.

TOPIC: Is it always necessary to tell the truth, regardless of the consequences, or are there times when it is permissible
to tell a lie? What "rule" should guide a person in determining when to tell the truth or tell a lie? Write an introductory
paragraph giving your position on this issue. Remember to use the parts of the introductory paragraph.

Truth hurts and if a rule exist to say lies I think that only can use to don`t hurts others but in extreme case example to
help a person to don’t suicide, not the common lies like if you give your card number you’ll win a iPhone 11 pro max. or
lies of the dictatorship.
