Essay topics:
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 abound, both among humans and among other mammals. Unselfish acts among humans range from the sharing of food with strangers to the donation of body organs to family members, and even to strangers. Such acts are altruistic in that they benefit another, yet provide little reward to the one performing the act.In fact, many species of animals appear willing to sacrifice food, or even their life, to assist other members of their group.
The meerkat, which is a mammal that dwells in burrows in grassland areas of Africa, is often cited as an example. In groups of meerkats, an individual acts as a sentinel, standing guard and looking out for predators while the others hunt for food or eat food they have obtained. If the sentinel meerkat sees a predator such as a hawk approaching the group, it gives an alarm cry alerting the other meerkats to run and seek shelter. By standing guard,the sentinel meerkat gains nothing—it goes without food while the others eat, and it places itself in grave danger. After it issues an alarm, it has to flee alone, which might make it more at risk to a predator, since animals in groups are often able to work together to fend off a predator. So the altruistic sentinel behavior helps ensure the survival of other members of the meerkat’s group.
In the reading passage, the writer talks about the altruism behaviour of the animals and people. The lecturer, however, disagrees with the author of the passage by giving contrasting viewpoints.
Firstly, the writer states about the altruism behaviour of people by giving the example of selfless helping their family members and strangers providing food and donating body parts. But, the speaker disagrees explaining that by doing such acts, the donater or the helper gets a lot of appreciation and their self worth also increases. Also she continues mentioning that such behaviour can't be purely altrustic as his/her value increases in the society.
Apart from that, the writer also claims that the beahvior of meerkat, a mammal, is also altruistic. However, the lecturer contends by saying that, according to recent research, the meerkat who plays role of sentinel eat before guarding and they donot do so without eating. Also, she continues refuting the writer claim that they risk their life for whole group by mentioning that guard meerkat is the safest one as it stands neer the burrow; and also they are the first one to enter their shelter after making warning sound while the other members are at risk.
In sum, both the writer and the speaker have contrasting point of views. Specifically, they have trouble in finding the common ground on this issue.
