Hunter Robbins · Answer 1

c. The Lamerala would give more money or resources to a stranger

Explanation:

Collaboration implies that an individual needs to take a risk and share his or her resources with a stranger in order to achieve a greater result, compared to the one this individual would achieve alone.

The idea that if you share something with a person it will bring you good in the future becomes intrinsic in collaborative cultures, thus Lamerala people would be willing to give more to a stranger.
