ALTRUISM

Hello fans and readers. How was your week? Mine was a fabulous one and i'm so excited because it's Friday again.
 So let's go down to it.

 My discussion this week is about Altruism which I define unselfish concern for other people. It involves doing things simply out of a desire to help, not because you feel obligated to out of duty, loyalty, or religious reasons.                      Everyday life is filled with small acts of altruism, from the guy at the grocery store who kindly holds the door open as you rush in from the parking lot to the woman who gives twenty dollars to a homeless man.                                                                                                                                                News stories often focus on grander cases of altruism, such as a man who dives into an icy river to rescue a drowning stranger to a generous donor who gives thousands of dollars to a local charity.   While we may be all too familiar with altruism, social psychologists are interested in understanding why it occurs.                                                                                                                                      Altruism is one aspect of what social psychologists refer to as Prosocial behavior which refers to any action that benefits other people, no matter what the motive or how the giver benefits from the action. Remember, however, that pure altruism involves true selflessness. While all altruistic acts are prosocial, not all prosocial behaviors are completely altruistic. For example, we might help others for a variety of reasons such as guilt, obligation, duty, or even for rewards.
