不知道这么写的思路对不对??多谢指教!!! . OG上的那一篇练习题,讲altruism的: . The speaker holds the view that newly findings about some behaviors of an animal run against the previous finding,described in the article, which was explained as the evidence of animal's altruism. . To begin with, the speaker said that the eating habit of Meerkat dose not show altruism as the article described. The speaker listed the evidences that refuted the article. The speaker said that the gard Meerkat eats before the others, which runs against the claim in the article that the gar Meerkat eats nothing while the others are eating. Also the speaker said that the gard Meekat runs away first through the burrow after sending out the alarm when he finds a predator, which disagreed with the article saying that the gard Meerkat is the last one to leave. Furthermore the speaker mentioned that it is safer for the gard Meerkat who sending out the warning signal because the group of Meerkat will divert the predator's attention, and this refute article's viewpoint that the animals in groups are safer to conbat with a predator. By those evidence, the speaker is trying to demonstrate that the animal is not acting artruistically. . Secondly, the speaker talked about the altruism of human beings,and also mentioned the example of organ donation. The speaker raised challanging questions about the altruism of man who donated his kidney and implied that the non material rewards such as appreciation and society recognition the donator receives, and the enhancement of self-worth, are also valuable to the person. This view disagreed with the article which thinks such acts are altrustic in that they benefit another people but provide little reward to the person who is acting the behavior.
