Opposing Views On Volunteering By Steve Maraboli

Volunteering is considered doing a good deed in which can help to implement development skills such as, meeting new people. Who knew that enjoying yourself and meeting new people will be such fun while volunteering your time and assistance in helping someone else? Preparing and packaging hot food to be delivered to senior citizens in the local community really made me feel like a did a great deed!

However, volunteering can be difficult to achieve as it “relies disproportionately upon citizens possessing ample time and resources [which] risks favoring certain members of society over others. This encourages the dominance of extreme interests [and] outcomes that civic engagement seeks to avoid” (Civic Engagement, 2018). By volunteering and demonstrating philanthropism, individuals gain influence over others who recognize their work. As such, the act of volunteering must avoid being contorted from an act of good will to an act of

I know from other experiences that volunteers really make a difference in people’s lives. Volunteering is something that everyone should want to do, and the benefits are a great part too. I have learned through my church family different ways to feel “needed” on this earth, and one of those ways is to help others. I have learned about Karma, within the last couple of years, and I truly believe in it. What goes around, comes around. So I think that if you are only putting good deeds out there, then eventually someone something will do good deeds in

Helen's Hope Chest provides thousand of foster youth in Arizona with quality clothing, hygiene items, school supplies, and more at no cost to their foster parents. Volunteering makes a difference because you feel more connected with others, and we become less absorbed in the normal stresses of our daily life. Yes, we know that volunteering makes us feel good. However no one is willing to give up their free time, It blows my mind thinking about how any areas volunteering hits.

Doing good to others can end up helping you in the long run. That is the theme of two books I have read: The Ant and the Dove and The Hunger Games. In both of these books the main characters help each other and it ended up saving their lives.

“Anywhere I see suffering, that is where I want to be, doing what I can,” Princess Diana so bravely pronounced when she was living. When we help others, we make a difference in their lives. If you leave an impact on someone, they can follow your footsteps in making a positive change in the world. Sometimes, it can be a domino effect, which can lead even more people to help others out.

* Being nice can help you discover hidden talents. Volunteering is a great way to be nice; volunteers are also risk takers because when you take risk, they is a tendency that you 're bound to learn new

Volunteering is important for many reasons. I believe volunteering is special and offers a person certain aspects most things in the world cannot offer. Volunteering is good for the community. It allows a person to demonstrate their commitment to their community; a way of giving thanks. In doing so, the community will grow and prosper. When I first arrived in Selinsgrove, my family was struck with tragedy. The community of Selinsgrove offered their helping hand and showed nothing but love and support for my family. Being a child of constant traveling, I was shown the comfort of being a part of a community for the first time. This kindness is what inspired me to begin volunteering in my community.

Volunteerism is dropping for emergency responders, and it is affecting how emergency services can be provided to local communities. Looking for reasons why volunteerism is dropping and what options are available for these volunteer companies and communities in order for them to effectively continue protecting the people and property within their communities is very important to me. If local fire companies no longer exist, how are people in the community going to be protected? In addition to fire suppression, firefighters are called on to assist with numerous other situations including auto accidents, downed wires, flooding, emergency medical service, hazmat incidents, and various rescue operations. There is simply not enough money to fund career fire departments for every community. Even in the

“ Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness” (Martin Luther King, Jr.); Volunteerism connects me by engaging and helping our society in which donating time and service can make a difference and a change in our society. Furthermore, it is every individual’s obligation to contribute in their community to set good examples as the righteous citizens that we are today; for instance, there are many ways that volunteering connects me and benefits me in my community, in which I grow in every aspect of my life, such as interpersonal, professional and bringing awareness in our community.

Volunteering in your community helps solve many dilemmas in your community that descend through the eyes of government and social agencies (Everything you ever wanted to know about volunteering).

The effectiveness of volunteering in the community cannot be over emphasized. It helps to build a strong and cohesive community. It promotes social inclusion as well as integration and happiness. The benefits of volunteering include internal honour such as social acceptance and recognition, self-esteem, training and career enhancement, as well as health benefits.

Volunteering will teach you traits that can lead to phenomenal contributions for the world such as empathy. How does volunteering teach you empathy? Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within another’s frame of reference; the capacity to place oneself in another 's position. It’s what makes a person want to make a difference, make the world a superior place and while you can discuss this matter at great lengths, and read countless testimonies about it, the most powerful way to teach empathy is by example.Volunteering causes you to become altruistic and reminds you to not judge someone since you haven 't walked a mile in their shoes. Teaching empathy is literally the building blocks to raising a benefactor, a good person, to creating positive change and to being buoyant on the inside.

Volunteerism enables students to gain the moral lesson that is vital to their life and develop their future interest. According to source 2, “community service teaches us through experience - about the relationship between empathy and responsibility, about what it takes to be part of a community, in essence, about human being”. While students are helping their community, they learn the crucial moral lessons in the most direct and impressive way. Through an actual experience of volunteering, students are reminded that it is their responsibility to serve for their community because they are a part of it. Helping without any feedback allows them to realize the power of empathy, the essential value that makes the society a
