Primatologists are interested in the topic of altruism in order to determine where the human behavior arises. Altruism is defined as actions that benefit another individual but at some potential risk or cost to oneself. The act of ‘doing a good deed’ for others in humans counts as altruism, because there is some level of sacrifice in effort or resources from the individual that helps the other. Scientists argue that there are ulterior motives on the part of primates that they study. The good deed will be returned at a later date. We can test the importance of altruism among humans with this small science project.

Goal: Assess the degree of altruism among humans. Does it is exist? Method: Groom someone or do something altruistic to help someone who you will see in the near future for several days. Then assess whether they feel compelled to return the favor. For example, you may actually groom someone by pretending to pick something off of their clothes or buying them coffee. Then put them in the same but opposite situation later on. You could leave something on your clothes to see if they pick it off. You can try other forms of social grooming such as complementing someone as well. Will they return the favor later on? Try to devise new and original ways to test this idea of altruism through grooming.

Write up: Does this act bring you closer? What does it say about the grooming among humans? Is this evidence that it was selected for as a behavioral trait? Also try to explain WHY it came about as a behavioral trait (or WHY it didn’t if the data comes out negative).

Describe the messages that media (television, movies, magazines, newspapers, Internet) convey about people living with limited incomes or within the poverty threshold.

From The Salt Lake Tribune, September 13, 2001: "Washington's NATO allies declared Wednesday that the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., can be considered an attack on the whole alliance if they were directed from abroad. 'An attack on one is an attack on all,' NATO Secretary-General Lord Robertson said after the alliance's ambassadors decided to invoke Article 5 of the NATO charter for the first time in the alliance's history.” (Base your answers strictly on formal logic.)

a. Trace the formal logic of the text.

b. In your opinion, is an attack on the US an attack against all NATO allies?

c. In light of Robertson's claim that "an attack against one is an attack against all,” what is the logical inference of the statement that, "the alliance's ambassadors decided to invoke Article 5 of the NATO charter for the first time in the alliance's history”?

• Looking now at the wide spectrum of music that we will be discovering in this class, does it change your initial perspective of what American Popular Music actually encompasses?

Close relationships are an important part of a fulfilling life. Learning to find, maintain, and cultivate relationships is a skill that most work on their entire lives. No one is lucky enough to be born having perfect relationships. We all must work at them and strive to build fulfillment for ourselves and our people. This can be a hassle, but most humans agree that it's worth it!

To explore the topic of relationships, describe how different types of relationships differ. For this post, make sure to describe phenomena at multiple levels of analysis. That is, describe neural, mental, and behavioral characteristics of different types of relationships in your (very thorough) response.

At each level of analysis, describe how different types of relationships differ. For example, how do friendships differ from romantic relationships, and/or subtypes of these types of relationships. What about familial relationships? Make sure to use concepts from the course as points of comparison when discussing the relationships you choose to compare/contrast.
