ALTRUISM
“Is unselfish regards for or devotion to the welfare of others without expecting anything in return”
What is Altruism and What does it stands for?
Altruism refers to the selfless concern and actions taken for the well-being and benefit of others, even at the expense of one's own interests or without any expectation of personal gain or reward. It is a concept deeply rooted in ethics and moral philosophy.
The term "altruism" was coined by the French philosopher Auguste Comte in the 19th century. It derives from the French word "autrui," meaning "others" or "someone else." Altruism emphasizes the idea of caring for, aiding, and showing compassion towards others, often motivated by a sense of empathy and a desire to alleviate their suffering or improve their circumstances.
Altruism can manifest in various ways, such as acts of charity, volunteering, helping strangers, or making sacrifices for the greater good. It can occur on individual, societal, or even global levels. While some theories suggest that altruistic behavior may have evolutionary origins or can be explained by reciprocal altruism (the expectation of future benefits), true altruism implies acting purely out of genuine concern for others without any ulterior motives.
In summary, altruism stands for selfless concern and actions taken for the benefit and well-being of others, driven by compassion and empathy.
