social action

What does drive a person to risk his life to help others? What does prompt a social worker to spend time with a needy person beyond his standard duty? Why does person give a suspended good for a complete stranger?
In the every-day life there many social phenomena based on un-conditionality, disinterestedness, surplus. Often such phenomena remain outside the field of sociological explanation.
