Ok, so I actually took the time to read this... first and foremost, I truly hope who ever wrote wasn't planning to submit this to anyone, because it lacks credible resources. This looks like an opinion piece that someone posted online, in the hopes that people would view it as a credible source.

First, 99% of what we do as humans is not derived from survival instincts. If you picked up a psychology book and read about the id, ego and super-ego, you would understand that the id works on basic drives, food, sex, aggressive behavior. There are two id categories, eros and thanatos (life and death) instincts. This is survival instincts, so id = survival instinct. However, the mind also has the ego and super-ego. Now the super-ego is the complete opposite of the id, you can consider it the conscious, the reason why you do not rape a girl even though your survival instincts would tell you, you need to, because you need to populate the world with your offspring. The super-ego acts as the conscience, maintaining our sense of morality and proscription from taboos. Now the ego, is the balance, it listens to both sides of the argument, and decides how to go about things. So conclusion #1, 99% of what we do is not derived from survival instincts

Next, your examples are extremists, people can be good, without suffering like Ghandi did for his people, and people can be cruel without total destruction. You say that people who try to do good, usually do it and fail because they do not have the income to succeed, and those who do have the income to help are too greedy to help. If this is truly your view of the world, then I feel bad for you, because obviously, you haven't taken a close enough of what people do in this world. Police officers, social workers, teachers, missionary workers, etc... they all work for a better tomorrow, and you know how they do it, one person at a time. What you want, and expect is a person to save the world, well the fact is, you need to get out into the real world, and understand that it's the little things that matter. Save people one at a time, and you'll see the world making progression to a better place. We humans, have done a lot of bad in the world, but we are trying to make up for the wrongs of the past, but these are not one step cures, think of it like alcoholism, it takes 12 steps, well we need time to heal the world, and when we do something right, we will probably do something wrong too, so more time will be needed to fix that, look at slavery, look how long ago slavery was abolished, and today we are still trying to fix it, today's society didn't own any slaves, but we are still trying to right the wrongs of our ancestors.

Now you end on the note, Jews are great because they have money, and they help each other... well not to put Jews down, but not all of them are well off, and I do not see their brothers and sisters coming to their aid. The fact is the holocaust was one of the worst things to happen in the 20th century, but it has reunited Jews, and they feel a sense of comfort amongst themselves, but they are part of the world, and they like everyone has to do their part to help heal the world, some day people will put aside religion and race and start to work together, but until that day, we will all sit at the bottom. We rise as humanity, and we fall as humanity, there is no middle ground.

Finally, technology is part of the world, and we must adapt, it might be further ahead than we can handle, but we will catch up. How many diseases are the fault of our advances... maybe you should look that up before you post it in your paper, because even though we have contributes to some, we have also found cures for diseases that were wiping out civilizations. When was the last time the world suffered from an outbreak as large as the yellow fever or the black plague. Sure we have fears for Avian Flu, and Aids, but we have scientist working around the clock trying to find cures, are you going to say we would be better off without these scientists?

All in all, this was poorly written, it lacks a concrete thesis, and you jump around too much, especially for such a short paper... you need to gather your thoughts, and break down the paper into clear paragraphs. You are a clear example of what is wrong with literacy in today's world.
