Selfly Give Analysis

Elsa Del Valle Oscar Gonzalez ENC1101 25 October 2017 How to Buy Happiness? A Harvard study conducted across 100 countries found that whether rich or poor, people who give to charity are happier. Perceived happiness increases, even more, when we see the impact of our gift has on someone.

In many instances, people will not have the motivation or incentive to benefit a charity unless they get something out of it. Most people believe this to be a selfish act. Why can't someone do something nice for the community and not expect anything in return? Offering incentives for charitable acts is a easy way to bribe people, but sends a morally wrong and selfish message.

Furthermore, by donating your extra funds to overseas aid organizations you would be helping a needy person out. You’re making a difference in somebody’s life. At the same time you’re helping a person out, you feel good about doing so. You’re contributing to something much bigger than yourself and you’re making an impact on somebody’s life. By donating your extra money you feel like you’re doing the right thing and not spending it on a luxury that you want, but spending it on something that really is important.

I believe in good karma. Some may say that it's just a coincidence that one gets a sort of reward after doing something good for others, but I am sure it's good karma paying us back for our actions. I wasn’t aware of the importance of doing good for others,

Volunteering and participating in service projects are two of the most rewarding activities in my opinion. Some people may find it was a hassle or only do it because they have to meet the minimum requirement for school or work. Helping others, for me, has always been somewhat second nature to me. Over many years of volunteering I believe I have developed qualities that will stick with me for life and benefit me in my career. As early as freshman year, in high school, I found myself looking for ways to give back. I started by looking for opportunities within school, where I came across the A+ tutoring program, and so my journey of giving back began. While tutoring, my patience for others really evolved, partly by choice and partly because

"Just meeting such wonderful groups of people," said Lee. "Knowing that's its a good charitable contribution to an organization that will give it right back to the community that it care about."

the organization i chose to give a large donation to is Milwaukee Collegiate Academy. Milwaukee Collegiate Academy also known as M.C.A is a high school that is dedicated to sending scholars to and through college. M.C.A deserves a large donation because for the past 4 years they have had 100% college accecpantce rate also this year they had a 100% university accapentces

For my Social Capital activity, I chose to make a donation to the 2016 Christmas Fundraiser. I like to give donations; especially during the holiday time because I was lucky enough to receive amazing gifts and celebrate the holidays with my family every year, so I want to try to

3. Do I like to work with mechanical things? Yes. When I was in high I am a fast worker; I easily find ways on how to get things done. Basing from the comments I have earned from my supervisor during my On-the-job training, she said that I am an accurate and fast worker.

After I analyzed the writing sample using the story grammar marker we used in class I noticed some markers that weren’t used and others that were. The character of this story is my student himself. The setting of this story is something that is not specified by my student since it really isn’t set up like a story. The kick-off which is known as the initiating event is a snow day because the student talks about snow day activities they are going to do. The feeling with this is that he shows positive feelings toward mentioned snow day activities because he said he likes doing all of them. The plan is to have a snow day filled with activities to do. The planned attempts (actions) would be snowball fighting, drinking hot chocolate and building

Giving Help and Self-Esteem According to the great movie of “Curfew” which was directed by Shawn Christensen, giving help to someone could alleviate our pains and increase our self-esteem. This is exactly what happened to Richie when he was trying to kill himself in bathtub. He got a call

In “Effective Altruism” by Peter Singer, Singer talks about how we can take actions that help others as much as possible. This is known as effective altruism. Effective altruism is a social movement that aims to revolutionize the way we live. Effective altruism encourages individuals to make altruism a central part of their lives and do as much good as possible, typically by contributing a fixed percentage of one's income to the world's best performing aid and development organizations. Philosopher Pete Singer for Ted Talks discuss that you can donate at least a tiny percentage of money and still be able to live a normal life. He also references many people who donated by individuals to to the world's poorest people can make a great

Selfless according to the Oxford English Dictionary means, “concerned more with the needs and wishes of others than with one's own.” In today’s world it is very uncommon to find people that are completely unselfish. In the story The Gift of the Magi there is a couple who are both

I believe in being spontaneous. The word "spontaneous" means a restlessness, a lust for opportunities and constant adventure, but the word itself is much more than a definition. Most of us, when we were little, were taught to "be different." We were told it was okay to act outside of what's considered the norm. When I was little, I truly took it to heart. My dad taught me to not be like everyone, that everyone else was boring. He was one to always be ready to go somewhere, with someone, without looking at what could go wrong or the consequences. Together we had many experiences, we used to take his little plane and fly around our area all the time, or sometimes we would even just sit and watch the planes take off and land, while he explained

No matter where you go you see people talk about giving back to the community or giving to those less fortunate. Many people wonder, what’s in it for me? Why should I give these people my time and money when I don’t even know them? There is a children’s book,
