Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Altruism is the specific term to describe concern for the welfare of others expressed through self-sacrifice or increased risk-taking for the benefit of the group. Jingoism refers to excessive patriotism or aggressive foreign policy. Beneficial adaptation and polygenetic inheritance do not accurately describe this concept. Sacrifice is related to altruism but is not as specific in its definition.
