Case Study: Human beings are naturally inclined to help each other as we can see in the behavior of evenvery young children. When they see someone upset or when they see that someone needshelp, they are likely to step in and do what they can to help. In Chapter Five's sections onaltruism and prosocial behaviors (5.3) you saw that there are many factors that either help orhinder the development of these traits important for good socialization.Your assignment is to write an essay of minimum 300 words based on the following scenario:In an elementary school, a first-grade teacher named Ms. Barnes has been ill recently and twoother teachers, Mr. Pacheco and Ms. McMains, would like their first-grade classes to come upwith something nice to do for Ms. Barnes. When the day came to send something to Ms.Barnes, Ms. McMains' class came up with a giant card signed by all the students while Mr.Pacheco's class ended up having nothing to send.Knowing that there are conditions and situations which impact (either facilitating ordiscouraging) whether altruistic behavior gets expressed, you can imagine what might haveallowed one class (Ms. McMains') to act generously to help Ms. Barnes while the other class(Mr. Pacheco's) did not.

Question: describe the conditions that would have encouraged and/or discouraged altruism and prosocial behavior. Please be thorough in your descriptions and use the terms from the text.
