Here are some possible reason why people help others. First, people help others because of the miror neurons in the human body. Mirror neurons are the brain cells located throughout the human brain. (Wards.C.S& Gramer M.F, 2015) It help us feel what others feel, naturally make us sympathetic and put ourselvesv into someone else’s situations. Accroding to Giacomo Rizzolatti’s burning monkey experiment, which conducted in the late 1990s, he first burnt a monkey and shot a video of this process. Later, he showed this video to another monkey in the same time check its brain activity by a brain scanner. It showed the mirror neurons lit up when they saw the monkey in burn as the image of the monkey itself in burn was appeared in the monkey’s brain. This is because affected by mirror neurons our brain will naturally “act out” and imitate all activities we observed. And, the information and neural systems of monkeys operate very similarly as human’s. Therefore,
