Sociobiology and
    Behavioral Ecology

(Study of variation in behavior
among different populations)

Questions:
1) Do the Chinese have more of the
"cooperative social behavior" trait
than do people in our country

2) Is Social behavior an inherited trait

Man is a social animal
Man has the ability to cooperate to a common goal
Man can work for the "Common Good"
        over "Individual Good" --

E. O. Wilson: Makes an analogy to "ants working together"
Ants focus on the colony's need,
not their individual needs
By cooperating ants achieve great things

A "super organism" of ants (or people)
working together can do great things

Does Ayn Rand's idea of "Individualism" conflict with
the goal of cooperative "Social Behavior"
-------------
Does the atomization and social passiveness of our society
decrease our ability to work together for the common good
(everyone looking at their smartphones and not talking to each other
social organization can not find people for leadership positions in the organizations)

Can one apply the theory of Behavioral Ecology to better
understand different cultures .
