Answer 2

In Biology altruistic behaviour of animals has been discussed in relation to Darwinism and Neo- Darwinism.The question has been asked as to how some animals behave altruistically for the benefit of other members and even different species.Why do worker bees collect nectar for other members of the hive? Why do vampire bats spill out sucked blood from the stomach to feed other members io the group?. What this theory underlines is that struggle for existence is not always fierce and selfish.The concept to altruism and reciprocal altruism have been discussed by other Neo-Darwinists as well.
Hamilton(1961) and Travers(1971) are the pioneers of the concept of altruism.

Answer 3

Rational altruism affirms the positive perspective that all of our needs may be met, and that happiness is best provided, when we share. Since it is harder to share when we value everything in units of currency and hoard as much as we can, an economy based upon the ideal of rational altruism has to be based upon an alternative to monetary economics. A non-monetary economy, therefore, can not be an exchange economy, but must be a sharing economy, and work or labor, if not motivated by money, must be motivated by the nurturing-relationship value that it brings to the individual and community as a whole.


The focus in the dominant culture upon the monetary economy, represented by the concept of the "scarcity paradigm" in which economic demand is created by the emphasis upon possessiveness and property rights, preventing sharing and resulting in the exchange economy, is often explained via the theory of "rational self-interest." In contrast, the parallel culture of the "plenty paradigm" focusing upon the sharing economy of common property ownership is explained via the theory of "rational altruism." The scarcity paradigm asserts the negative perspective that the pursuit of happiness requires a struggle for private wealth and power, while the plenty paradigm asserts the positive perspective that happiness is best provided when we affirm that there is plenty for all when we share.

Answer 4

Altruism (ăl'trūĭz'əm) , concept in philosophy and psychology that holds that the interests of others, rather than of the self, can motivate an individual. The term was invented in the 19th cent. by the French philosopher Auguste Comte, who devised it as the opposite of egoism. Herbert Spencer and John Stuart Mill, English contemporaries of Comte, accepted the worth of altruism but argued that the true moral aim should be the welfare of society, rather than that of individuals..

Answer 5

As it relates to biology, altruism is part of the Symbiotic Theory.

Answer 6

alturism is a myth, fyi
most people think of bees when then think alturism, or birds that sacrifice mating to not overuse their resources, but this isnt true at all..
lets do an example...you and your brother share 1/2 the dna..lets say your brother is drowing, do you jump in and try and save him?? maybe, yes...if you did youd be a good brother but it wouldnt be good for passing on your genes (in which you share 100% dna with yourself, sounds wierd but try and follow) if you die instead of your brother, then your brother will then only pass on 1/2 of your genes instead of you living and passing on all of your genes..so to make it worth your while genetically, youd have to save 3 of your brothers to save more genetic info than to just have you survive ( 3x1/2=1.5, and you only have 1) so lets use this same example with an animal..they dont have emotions and whatever to get in the middle of their need to pass on genes...the animal wont save the brother cause its not genetically worth it...alturism is a joke
just keep that in mind

Answer 7
