Donation

In my reading of the novel 1984 I thought of one social issue that is not only near and dear to my heart but my older sister’s heart as well: The fact that so many children do not have a book to read. What sparked this was a story my sister told me while she was working on her book drive. A summer program teacher was taking to my sister and told her about a student who she had, he was about 4th grade. The summer program was to promote reading skills. So, the teacher assigned a book report.

Throughout the semester, I learned valuable lessons and skills that would aid me in becoming a successful social worker. In addition, working on the public issue project provided me with the opportunity to put what I learned into action. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to put what I learned in the classroom to use while working in the community with a group of women, as a team, to accomplish a set goal. Over the last several years, through observation, I saw the homeless population grow in the

children, in Haiti, suffer from starvation. People who are more rich and have more clothes are donating those food and clothes to Haiti, helping fill the hungry and clothe the cloth-less. “The community of Lubbock should be proud to know and see the donations sent from West Texas are impacting the lives and the futures, of 1,500 children in Haiti, each and every day.” The community of Lubbock donates food to thousands of children in Haiti. Doing this allows these kids to grow up and be successful, maybe

Pre-Expired Food is Filling up Landfills Many grocery stores across the United States dispose of pre-expired food instead of donating it to homeless shelters, food banks or to families in need. Food that is not expired and is perfectly good to consume is being thrown away by farmers and grocery stores because it is not aesthetically pleasing. Annually, over 133 billion pounds of food are disposed of each year. (wync.org). Approximately 95 percent of all wasted food will end up in a landfill, wasted

Donating your body to science can really make a big difference in the medical education. Some people value their education just by donating themselves to the doctors, researchers and others. I think that by doing that can really help other people that need anything from the body like an organ. People even donate it to medicine to see if a treatment may work on it to test it out on other people that are really sick. I believe that people should donate their bodies because it can make a difference

In the time that we are living in this country, we see a lot of groups that help those in need. We also see those who make it seem that they are making a difference. Paternalism can be an example of having a country 's economic system decrease. Paternalism is the practice of people that are in a position of power, who restricts the freedom and responsibility of people below them. An example of paternalism is celebrities who think their actions are great. There are many images, songs, and actions

Zell claiming we are murders for not donating a kidney. The first point he makes exams the motivation behind murder. A murderer typically is sadistic with intentions of causing harm onto another being. Zell’s wife (who did not approve of his kidney donation) is what Singer would define as selfish if anything, but not comparable to a murderer. Second, the avoidance of killing asks less of us than making change to our standard lifestyle. Since there is a law in place for murder it is easier to avoid.

Many have been in a situation where they were asked if they would like to donate to a foundation of some sort. We have all had an opportunity to help or ignore. Which is the main problem in the article “The Solution to World Poverty.” Peter Singer, the author of this article gives various examples on how people act in a situation relating to poverty. He uses examples from a movie called Central Station and a book by Peter Unger called Living High and Letting Die. These examples were life and death

end with a dead child. Many people who appalled by the idea of letting child die over a new TV often waste their money on things that they do not need, which Singer believes is very hypocritical. Singer calculated that it would cost about $200 in donations to help a sickly child become healthier. While he realizes that not everyone has an extra $200 lying around, many people can save this money by not going out to eat for a month or not buying the newest gaming console. Singer is a utilitarian, which

Christians should engage in the culture by being there for their community in the most beneficial ways possible. Cultural engagement has an amazing impact on anyone who chooses to participate. God will show up through the individual and their community to make it a better and safer place. Cultural engagement, to me, is to consume and partake in the environment around us through the lens of Jesus Christ. Be there for people even though they might not think, act, or look like you. Some Christians
