Over the years and years of new inventions and products that make our life easier and more comfy, the two aims have become blurry and blended together. Nowadays if something bad is happening, it depends on the situation, you might grab something valuable to you, but more than likely you will just get away. Example: You are getting mugged, do you fight for your wallet/purse, or do you throw it and run? You run! You don't care about what is in that wallet/purse, you just wanna survive. In times of calm, which is most of the time now (at least in America) expanding on our knowledge, wealth, and power is our main goal. In fact, we do it almost everyday. School and work are how we do this. But we have forgotten the basics, if one of us crashed in the jungle, would we survive? No, I doubt it. But, if one of the things they learned in a time of calm was how to survive in the jungle, they have a better chance. So today life is more of a social survival unless you choose to learn about it.
