Answer:

The author believes empathy and altruism are connected because pure altruism has to do with identifying with other people, sense their sufferings and respond with altruistic acts.

Explanation:

Altruism is the practice of selfless concern for the well-being of others.

In the context of this text, <em>"Why Do Human Beings Do Good Things? The Puzzle of Altruism"</em> by Steve Taylor​, the author tries to discover the various reasons humans can be altruistic towards others and whether humans can show true selflessness.

The author tried to make the connection between empathy and altruism as he refuses to believe the views of some psychologists about egoic altruism   which they believe that humans perform altruistic acts in order to get something back in return or to make us feel good about ourselves. Rather, he believes in pure altruism where someone perform selfless acts of service for another without expecting anything in return.

The connection between empathy and altruism is that he believes that "empathy is the root of all pure altruism. Sometimes empathy is described as a cognitive ability to see the world through another person’s eyes, but I think it’s actually much more than that."

I can help you with the writing section.

The quote spoken by Jeff Bingaman is basically stating that he supports immigration reform that is for family, reunification, and economic contributions and humanitarian concerns.

Your task is to write an exposition based on his quote. A exposition is defined as a. comprehensive description and explanation of an idea.

Here is info regarding the requirements of the exposition:

- The thesis statement you create should defend your position or opinion about what he has said. So it should be an argument.

- Your supporting arguments should. back up why you feel or think the way you do about his idea on immigration. This would be the why.

- A restatement would basically be a conclusion.
