Reciprocal Altruism: if we help others today , they/ someone else will return the favor if needed in the future
june begins to understand that she cant survive in gilead and she needs to escape immediately, once she discovered that she tries to befriend serena by helping her take care of her daughter although she forcefully had to give her child to serena. June tries to be a good handmaid hoping that Serena would help her later on when she needs help seeing hannah.
Social responsibility norm = we should try to help others who need assistance even w/o future paybacks
june helps a bunch of children and cooks in gilead by getting them into a plane and leaving gilead. She does this knowing the consequences and knowing that there would be no future paybacks.
Empathy = affective response in which a person understands, feels for a person’s distress and experiences events the way the other person does.
empathy lacks in gilead but june is very empathetic even to serena who is a psychopath, she still sees her as broken, lonely and sad. And this makes her feel empathetic towards serena. She feels for her distress although serena is cruel
Diffusion of responsibility = we assume that others will take action and therefore we don't take action ourselves
one of the women in gilead were beaten in front of the handmaid's because she had performed oral sex on her headmaster. June wanted to help so badly but when she saw the other women stand there and watch their fellow handmaid get beaten the urge to help was no longer there. She felts as if they knew something she probably didn't know

Autonomy oriented help = giving information to others, ( helping with directions) if i give you the tools you can help yourself
June moves from Waterford's house to another household with a master who has no interest in having a handmaid. He realizes that June is strong witted and because he likes her personality he helps her by giving her directions around Gilead to escape, he believes that with this help she has the tools to escape on her own since she is strong-witted. He will tell her when other headmasters were coming and what routes and escape lanes were in Gilead.

Violence = aggression that has extreme physical harm, such as injury or death
There have been many violent scenes and scenarios in the handmaid's tale, from handmaid's being hanged by Aunt Lydia, or being aggressively pushed by guards, or being raped repeatedly or being chained to a bed while pregnant or being outside in the rain in a pushup position or your lips being sewed together because you are just a reproductive system and nothing more.

non physical aggression:is aggression that does not involve physical harm. Nonphysical aggression includes verbal aggression
serena and commander waterford are in canada, june mimicked serena's and told her that god made her pregnant so that when he can kills the baby inside her she will be able to feel a fraction of the pain they felt when she tore their kids from their arms.
Displaced aggression :occurs when negative emotions caused by one person trigger aggression toward a different person.
when june returned home from gilead there was certainly a lot of displaced aggression towards her husband luke, june wasn't the same, she didn't know how to have sex with her husband without it being aggressive , she didn't know how to act towards him without aggression. the idea that gilead is within you was very true when she came back home. although the waterfords and gilead were outside canada, there was still a lot of aggression she felt that led her to displace that on others including luke
