Altruism is a type of behavior in which an animal sacrifices its own interest for that of another animal or group of animals. Altruism is the opposite of selfishness; individuals performing altruistic acts gain nothing for themselves.Examples of altruism
The reading passage states that altruism is a very frequent behavior among mammals, such as meerkat and Humans. The professor instead in her lecture contends that those science beliefs and assumptions should be restated on the light of the findings of a new research about Meerkat behavior, and also he cast doubts about human altruistic behavior questioning about the real motive of those actions.
The first point that the professor uses to contrast the reading is that the Meerkat standing in guard while the others are eating is because it has already fed and therefore is not sacrificing its food in exchange for the safety of the community. Moreover standing out near the burrow gives it the possibility to intercept the arrival of predators before all the others and quickly flee away, while the other focused on food may not have the time to react fast enough to fend off the predator.
Another example used in the reading is the human behavior of body organ donation, between relatives or even between two strangers. The professor contends that this kind of action can be very rewarding in terms of social appreciation and approval from the community where these persons live in, and. According to the professor, then, the donors are more rewarded than what the reading states.
In conclusion, the points made in the lecture contrast with reading, in support of her thesis the professor argues the other side of the points made in the reading; the meerkat standing in the guard is not starving for the safety of the community, rather it has already ensured it a meal. In addition the donator reward for a human body organ donation, it is far from little.
