Recall that the introduction to chapter 11 (prosocial behavior) began with a description of several of the citizen-heroes of september 11, 2001-for example william wik, who refused to flee to personal safety because there were still people to be rescued. he died when a tower collapsed. wik was willing to sacrifice his own life to save others, and his behavior could thus best be described as
a) altruistic.
b) prosocial.
c) evolutionarily adaptive.
d) an example of kin selection.

a) altruistic.

Explanation:

According to my research on the answers provided for the question, I can say that based on the information provided within the question Wik's behavior could best be described as altruistic. This means that he showed extreme unselfishness, or a selfless concern for the well-being of others. Which is exactly what Wik was displaying when he sacrificed his life in order to save others.

dude have you found the answer? i go to connexus as well but i think the answer is prime minister

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
