Document Summary
Prosocial behvaiour- behavior that benefits the other. Looked at form benefactor ( or helper) to helped. We need to consider the person giving assistance and the person receiving this assistance. Common sense does not always provide the appropriate answer to questions about pro social behavior. Would think that the more people around the likelihood of getting help is increased. Leave money in the bank for the better of the town or take it out to safe self. During the depression most people took their money out ( short term > collective) Many people acting together to do act that one person alone could not. Groups depend on the combined effort and actions of each other. Not just restricted to one culture or period. No surprise that is present in every culture. Cited two stories we need to be concerned with the well being of others.
