02
People’s tendency to be reluctant to help those who are in need or distress has raised a
major question as to whether or not humans can be truly altruistic like a good Samaritan.
Some claim that people tend to perform selfless acts such as helping or sharing when the
ultimate reward is to benefit the self, or to serve the individual’s personal gratification.
However, socialists find that people’s reluctancy comes from a helper’s good intentions
often being misunderstood, and then sued or punished for helping.
