◦ His theory suggests people are cold, calculating, and anxious to maximize benefits to themselves at whatever cost to others.
◦ His theory suggests people have no true feelings of their own and simply mimic those of people around them.
◦ His theory suggests people are superficial, hypocritical, and act in their own self-interests regardless of how this makes them appear to others.
