Altruism and meerkats' study
The reading passage and the lecture are both about a type of behavior called altruism. The lecturer completely refutes the arguments in the article. She argues that these explanations are faulty.
Firstly, the lecture states that the meerkat that acts as a sentinel eat before stand guard, in other words it is already with full stomach when assist the group as a sentinel. This directly opposes the reading passage that states that sentinel meerkat sacrifice food to help the group.
Secondly, the lecturer explains that sentinel meerkat first sees a predator which enhance its chance to scape because after giving the alarm it can fast enter in a near burrow. The chances for surviving are bigger for sentinels because they are alone. Furthermore, the group that is looking for food is in a danger position and they draw attention of predators when they seek shelter all together. This idea disagrees with the article that claims that sentinel meerkat places itself in grave danger because it flees alone which is more risky while the group is in advantageous position.
Finally, the lecturer believes that organs donators such as someone that donates their kidney to a familiar or even to an unknown, gains the appreciation and approval of society and family. Moreover, it is a valuable act for people and improve the self-worth of donators. The reading passage, on the other hand, argues that individuals performing altruistic acts gain nothing for themselves and provide little reward.
