you dont think people anticipate the rewards they will get with an intentional good deed? hmmmm. here i have to disagree with you. i believe that people do the "good" deed because of the perceived reward. for an example i want to do this because my culture approves of these actions and will praise me. i will save that man.

now lets change this up a little i will not save that man because he is a killer and has killed many people and will do so again. this is a cultural verson of good. some cultures will dissagree with that last statement some would agree. people will either save or let the man die because of cultural approval and the perceived reward.
