Abstract
An altruistic person acts for the good of the others. Such a person looks for the happiness of people around him/her. An altruist does not act for his/her own interest. Therefore, sometimes we can imagine that altruistic people do not act for the good of the others. In fact, altruism can be seen as a selfish way to satisfy your own interest. Because perhaps, the altruist action can may serve to satisfy your own happiness. The term altruism can take very different meanings. Altruism is sometimes developed as a fundamentally benevolent disposition (like altruism of parents towards their children), as an interested disposition (altruism simulated to maximize his earnings), and sometimes even as a malicious disposition. We look into the various facets of altruism and its changing meanings in several contexts in this document.
