Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mike's belief that he is a good person and would never do anything to hurt people suggests that he may have moral overconfidence, which can lead to a lack of consideration for the needs and perspectives of others. This is evident in his reluctance to provide paid time off for his employees to serve at the local food bank, which may suggest a lack of empathy or concern for others, and a rigid adherence to his own beliefs about the purpose of his business.
