The first sentence uses "people" as the subject, which is a plural noun, and "others" as the object, also a plural noun. Therefore, the second sentence should use a plural possessive pronoun to maintain consistency. "Their" is the correct choice, as it agrees in number and person with the subject of the sentence.
