In this video I discuss how prosocial behavior is a commonplace but important part of life and we shouldn't forget that every day billions of people come together and help one another. What explains this altruistic behavior? Kin selection theory suggests that helping family to survive and mate is another way of helping to pass on one's own genes. People also help others they are not related to, and these actions may be related to possible rewards, social approval, reciprocal altruism, the "warm glow" of helping, social responsibility norms, or the empathy-altruism hypothesis. I conclude by considering the benefits of social interaction and the necessity of working together in order to achieve beyond our own individual limitations.
