Answer:

Human beings do good things for plenty of reasons, but most importantly they do it to make them feel good about themselves. Helping others gives satisfaction to people.

Explanation:

Altruism means being selfless, it means concerning for the well being of others. Being generous, kind, and unselfishness are all the characteristics of an altruistic person.

Psychologist believe that people practice altruism because:

• It makes them feel good about themselves. We, as a human being always long for respect, so when we do good things it makes other people respect us more.

• Many people do good deeds because there's is concept of going into heaven, hence doing good things will increase their likelihood of getting into the heaven.

• One can also look altruism as an investment strategy. We get what we give, so we do something good for others in a hope that someday people will return that favor.

Whatever the reasons might be, it is important that we keep practicing altruism, because this is something which helps our community to prosper together.

How do you think the carousel operator will answer the child’s question?<br> Please help me quick!!!
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Since there is no answer to the child's question and the child is in the North, the carousel operator may give the child a stern reply.

Explanation:

"Merry-Go-Round" is a poem written by Langston Hughes. The poem is centered on the theme of racial segregation due to Jim Crow's section law.

The law disabled the colored people to mix with the whites, and created a separate section, at the back for all blacks, whether be it a train or a bus. But the child in this poem, the speaker, ask the carousel operator questions <em>"Where to sit?", </em>as there is no back in the merry-go-round.

The carousel operator may give the child a stern reply because he is from the North.

Doss [256]
It is a simile. A simile is comparing two things with like or as. Example: "They were as quiet as a mouse". Now never confuse this with a metaphor which doesn't use like or as, but still compares two things. Example: "She is a walking encyclopedia" . This is telling you indirectly that she is a very smart and talkative person. A simile would tell you directly
