The reading and the lecture compares the altruistic behavior of humans and animals.The author of the passage says that altruistic behavior in animals and humans are acts that gain nothing for themselves. However the lecturer casts doubts on the claims made in the reading by stating that recent study clearly suggests that such behavior will attain benefits finally.
Firstly, the author argues that an animal species like meerkat sacrifice their life and hunger to help their peers find food and keep them away from the predators. they act as sentinel ,standing guard to create alarm cry so that others can run and seek shelter before the attacker approaches. This statement however is contradictory to the lecture. She argues that these species eat before standing guard. Additionally the sentinel are the ones that first see the predators so they escape after the alarm cry while others scattered are more susceptible to danger.
Secondly, the author of the passage claims that the sentinel gains nothing by sacrificing their life's. This is rebutted by the lecturer. He states that alarm causes more animals to gather together and or move quickly while the sentinel has more chances of survival.
Thirdly, the author states that humans also have the altruistic behavior for instance, while donating their kidney or sharing food they do not gain anything or reward to their act. This point is contradicted by the lecturer where she asserts that when humans perform theses selfless acts they receive appreciation and hence have an increased sense of self worthiness.
