United States Citizens Should NOT Acquire Community Service

Many schools require students to participate in community service, but I think this is a good idea. Many schools do not require students to volunteer in community service. I agree that students should have to volunteer to graduate. I think that students should be forced to volunteer for community service sometime in their high school career as it makes people work and shows them what work really is. It also gets people off there lazy tail.

Most students do community service just because it is required. Thus as soon as they do not have to do it anymore, then they are more likely to quit and not do community service again. In “The Downside of School Volunteer Requirements”, Lily Lou explains, “Not having volunteering requirements would not prevent anyone from volunteering, but it would encourage avid volunteers rather generating a larger number of uninspired volunteers who glance at the clock every few minutes.” High school administrations over look the fact that students are more likely to do be willing to volunteer if they are given the choice. Not only that, but when students are given the choice and choose to do community service they are going to be more beneficial to the cause, then if they were doing it because they had

Many high schools around the country have made community service hours mandatory in order for the seniors to graduate. Not everyone agrees that this should be a requirement because seniors already have enough on their plate. When seniors are about to graduate, it does not matter how many tasks they have to complete as a requirement if they do not feel like doing it and they have no motivation they will not complete

Some schools require students to participate in volunteer programs in their community in order to graduate. Is this reasonable? Students should not have to volunteer to receive their diploma. School systems should not make student volunteer because it defeats the purpose of volunteering, students may be incapable of volunteering, and they have already worked four years for their diploma.

An inspired military, countless civic engagement programs, and a born again patriotic nation will be birthed from initiating a National Service. Promoting the betterment of this country will breed a new generation of Americans. Someday this National Service could become a Universal Service, stretching across the globe, unifying countries and promoting altruism as a cultural norm. Assisting the less fortunate and protecting mother nature can only benefit future generations, as a greener, more educated America takes the reins of this country’s future. Harness the spirit of volunteerism and make it a permanent part of American culture (Stengel). Create a better tomorrow. “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” –President

Perspective is everything. You need to think about one thing in different perspectives. Imagine walking into a neighborhood with people that are in situations, such as, being hungry or in poverty and you are wealthy so you do nothing. However, if you were living in their shoes, you would be begging for a meal or even a roof over your head. This is the reason why there needs to be more volunteers for community service to help others that do need the help, even if they don’t ask for it. In this article, “Should the United States Establish Mandatory Public Service for Young Adults?” by Kent Ansen (2013), the proposition that the author made is an interesting one and one that I believe in but I think that it should be suggested rather than mandatory.

Volunteering in America is something that has helped this country to grow the way it has. Services that were given through volunteering are a necessary part of how this country has dealt with its challenges. Beyond the wars that have made and changed the lives of Americans, this country has also had to deal with tragedy that strikes with natural

I believe that the United States should perform one year of community service by the age of 30. The reason why i think that is because i think it would help people understand eachother and bring us all closer together in many ways. One way is that it would pay good so there would be less homeless and less people fighting to feed there families. I believe that kids and odulats would be more thankfull and respectfull for what they have and try harder to become something after they see what they can do.

Some may find that mandatory national service is taking away from those who love and aspire to volunteer. Although this may be the case for some, mandatory national service could also be a good thing. For example, people that are unemployed could use this as a source of a job or even just something to fill their time. What of the working Americans? Is it right for all citizens to be required the same amout of service? All citizens would have to be treated equally whatever the out come is to be.

When looking at an orginiazation, such as Scouts, we see that when encouraging youth to serve their communities they are more willing to continue to serve into adulthood. When we force youth to spend time serving they tend to see it in a negitive way and don't want to do it. I see the same with adults, if we encourage them to do it rather than force them they'll be more willing to do so.

The topic of mandatory national service has been around for years now, and there will always be arguments on whether it should be enforced or not. Some may say that it takes away our freedom, but is it not what gives us freedom in the first place? The United States’ military, national service, as well as community service is based on volunteers. That is what makes this country great, but there are less volunteers as years go by. Crime increases, streets are not safe anymore, Americans are oblivious to what is happening around the world. There are so many opportunities to give back to the country, yet, not many care. Today’s generation is based on social trends, and self-gratification. There is also the fact that many young people do not know what to do with their life after high school, some continue to college or focus on work, others do not work nor study. Therefore, all young men and women should be required to give two years to national service because it can help solve problems as well as build the community back together.

“Community Service is important for many reasons. Taking part and volunteering teaches compassion and understanding. You can volunteer for something you really believe and have an interest in, and can volunteer as much or as little as you'd like or have time for.” Community service is really easy to get into. I mean, it is not like you have to put out an application and have an interview in order to do it. It is really easy to get into, and is really fun. It is things you wouldn’t even think are considered, like:

In my perspective, I strongly agree with the idea that everyone has to perform at least one year of mandatory public service. I think this because it will really benefit the nation as a whole. It will show the individuals what has to be done to protect the country. Furthermore, if an individual chooses to do military service it will help the U.S military and the nation overall. The benefits to the United States society for young men making themselves available for public service would be that they as individuals would be more disciplined and mature. I think that it will help them grow physically and emotionally because of us as people we have feelings which play a big role in our lives. It would also help them fully develop themselves and they

My honest opinion about this subject is the same as the second arguement. Why should we force people to volunteer? Volunteering should come from the heart, not forced.

As an 18-year-old tennager, I was forced by my parents to participate a summer volunteer program in my freshman year. Even though I felt that I was a victim of “tyranny” in the beginning, I realized that I actually enjoyed the process of helping people in the middle of the program. Now, I participate that program every year as an active member, and I have gained the personal enrichment that I am unable to learn from other sources such as math club or SAT preparatory class. There is no doubt that community service can bring essential benefits in helping students develop their moral value and future interest, and it should be mandatory because some students attempt to utilize community service as a tool for their own profit without the school supervision.
