　　Selfishness is a bit prevailing in university dormitories. Some never care about others’ needs or offer help to their roommates. Some even interrupt others’ normal daily life by speaking loudly, turning on the loudspeakers and telephoning at midnight.

　　As the only children in their families, most of them are the apples of their parents’ eye. They have been spoiled and are used to being satisfied. Therefore, they hardly pay any attention to others’ feelings initiatively. What they care about is how to meet their own demands and how to get what they need from others. Moreover, selfish people do not know mutual respect and mutual help are keys to harmonious dormitory life.

　　Selfishness erodes youngsters’ mind and may well undermine their all-round development. Only when we become respectful and helpful to each other, can we create a healthy atmosphere for dormitory life.
