Social scientists have been asking for decades whether boastful, self-aggrandising beliefs and behaviours are beneficial to those who make such claims. According to one school of thought, claiming to be better than others feels good, and when we feel good, we are happier and better adjusted.

If you wanted to design a cave person for survival, ability to contemplate the cosmos would not be a high-ranking design criterion.

The irony is that, today, the primary threats to our survival, both of our organizations and of our societies, come not from sudden events but from slow, gradual processes; the arms race, environmental decay, the erosion of a society's public education system, increasingly obsolete physical capital, and decline in design or product quality (at least relative to competitors' quality) are all slow, gradual processes.
Choose the statement that best represents the summary of the text and enter it in the space provided..
1. Our natural impulse is to react quickly to the unwarranted situations, though the current social and organizational contingencies do not result from quick processes

3. The ability to react quickly to threats is more crucial than thinking, although present threats emanate from slow and gradual processes.
4. We should react quickly to the problems that threaten our survival but ironically the primary threats that we have faced have for a greater part of our existence been slow and gradual processes.
