The primary describing part of the lecture is about the disagreement of altruism, directly contradicting the opinion that altruism is a kind of quality sacrificing oneself while gaining nothing beneficial, which is stated in the reading passage.
To begin with, the point of view reflected by the lecturer mentions that people who are considered having altruism elevate their status and gain their reputation by donating .This typically explain why the speaker oppose the issue made in the passage that people sacrifice themselves with nothing gained.
Moreover, an instance is being used for supporting altuism in the passage that meerkat, kind of animal which has the discipline of arranging guard while the most are eating or doing sth. However, the lecturer explains that the guardian meerkat eat before doing alarming job, that is, with full stomach the meerkat take the scout position. In addition, the guardian has the best chance to escape while endangered for its privilege to see the predator first, and the apparent action of the hordes gathering also attract the attention of predator, which makes more possibility for the guardian to escape itself.
In conclusion, the contents of the passage are inevitably jeopardized by the lecturer. The lecturer indicates quite different idea that human beings and animals really obtain sth by being so called unselfish insdead of having altruism, which is the main issue of the passage.
