What do you think?

I heard that the following 5 beliefs have been shared by all societies throughout history.

1. If something promotes human survival, it is a reason to do it.
2. If something is in the interest of a family member, it is a reason to do it
3. We have a greater obligation to help our own children than we do to help complete strangers.
4. Altruism is praiseworthy and deserves admiration.
5. Anyone who has deliberately harmed should be punished or shunned.

Do you agree with these 5 statements? Why or why not? How do these 5 beliefs jive with the Biblical message? Are they compatible with a Christian worldview?
