We learned about prosocial behavior and the reason why people help others. For this discussion assignment...

1. Share an experience in which you were helpful to someone (family, friends, strangers).
2. Explain your decision to help this person using theempathy altruism hypothesis. That is, explain whether your decision to help this person was caused by empathy (e.g., "I am going to help her even if it means I will be late to work") or self-interest (e.g., "if I help her now, she will owe me later").
