I think that helping others is considered a trait of professionals because the help of others might be needed in the future for professionals. No professional can deny that he or she would never require of the help of others. Caring is another perspective which can be considered while thinking about a concrete reason to help others. This is because teamwork can be built in this manner of helping and caring about the team members. There can be social connections established in a strong manner because of the strong bonds which will get developed among professionals helping each other.
