Chicago, IL—2020 marks the start of a new decade and, hopefully, increasing kindness. Kate Hanley, author of How to Be a Better Person, says that, in the last decade, the most popular New Year’s resolution in America wasn’t to stop smoking, eat less, or exercise more. Rather, most people said that they wanted to be a better person. Altruism is the desire to take an interest in someone else’s welfare—and not just those within one’s own circles.
According to psychologists, altruism, an important aspect of society, is exhibited by those with ethical and moral values. Will kindness toward others, the animals, and the Earth increase as the decade progresses? We hope so!
