Charitable Incentives

In “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” by Peter Singer, he argues that we ought to give a significant amount of money as aid to third-world countries and that our current form of life in Western countries is not justiciable. He gives us readers a different viewpoint on the way we live our lives and the way we look at moral issues needs to change. Throughout his paper, Singer compares charity and duty. Donating to a charity or a good cause is all up to an individual, although not many people donate. But, he is calling for us to perform our duty of helping others and make all of us well aware that suffering is bad and much more can be done to help the ones in need.

People have their own problems and struggles to deal with. People could be a dollar richer if they didn’t donate. Also, why do charities exist?

In “Famine, Affluence, and Morality,” Peter Singer argues that some morally good actions, such as donating to relief funds and charitable organizations, should be duties. His argument is as follows: 1) Suffering and death are bad, whether from starvation, lack of shelter, or insufficient medical care. (P1) 2) We are morally obligated to prevent bad things from happening if we are able to do so and we would not sacrifice anything morally equivalent in the process.

Alana Ellis Carolyn Crane English 1C 6/26/2017 Paper 1 Many people say that they want to end world hunger, stop global warming, create world peace. To these people, the answers seem to lie in charity. Charity is defined as “generosity and helpfulness especially toward the needy or suffering” and, “an institution engaged in relief of the poor” (Merriam Webster Dictionary online). Motivated by the first definition of charity, people are driven to engage in trying to help those in need and alleviate their suffering.

A small gesture of philanthropy can help raise people's reputation. But if they just help people for the sheer will of being a good summeritain, then let them. If they don't do anything to help their insignificant others, then they should be scolded for not caring for others or their society. If someone has a higher education, then they can put it to use.

This seminar will help our future generations make just decisions and treat the people around them with respect. To measure the success rate of this event, students who attended the seminar can take a survey and discuss what they have learned during the seminar. The students who really enjoyed their stay can write an essay on why they would like to come back and volunteer the next year. Only twenty volunteer spots would be available for returning students. The students who attend this seminar will likely influence others around them to treat others in a just manner and think about the fairness of their

Many kids in the U.S are suffering from child hunger and don’t know when their next meal would come and where it would come from. Children won’t progress in school since child hunger affects their school performance and grades. If we donate more to foundations that exist today then there is a higher chance of change and child hunger ending. Child hunger is spreading spreading all over the world and if we don’t stop it in the U.S we won’t be able to help other countries. With a little donation you could be the reason why our future generations are improving, the world is safe, and there is now no child hungry.

When reading this excerpt from Fr. Arrupe, the Prayer for Generosity immediately begins to ring in my head. Each morning at 8:00, I would stand in unison with my peers and speak these words, only to later understand the greater meaning behind them. “To give and not to count the cost,” - this particular line comes to mind when I recall what it means to be men and women with and for others. This ideal of true altruism suggests that one performs tasks for others without seeking praise, reward, or acknowledgement.

Many high school students around the country are required to do a certain number of community service hours before they are able to graduate. While there seems to be no problem with that requirement, some people believe that forced volunteering isn't truly volunteering. If someone is being helped by these services, it does not matter whether it is forced or not. Volunteerism promotes good citizenship and betters all people who take part in it. Required service hours could also work as a factor that simply encourages students to participate in service related events.

When considering the choice of paying students for good grades and not paying students for good grades, the choice should definitely be, students should not be paid for good grades. Paying students for good grades may start off their youth incorrectly. Instead of focusing on getting an education, the reward of money is likely to block their priorities. Students will be angry when not given the money, and not being able to raise test scores or grades. In order for a bright and successful future, students should not be paid for good

There have been several studies over the past thirty years that attempt to discern if non-monetary incentives provide increased performance rates in the workplace over monetary incentives. Each study shows different results, largely depending on how the data was obtained. What all of the statistics reduce to is, understanding the differences between cash and gift incentives, and applying an appropriate incentive scheme for the employer’s specific employees. There are three areas that need to be evaluated before an employer decides to utilize cash or gift incentives to remunerate an extraordinary work performance. The areas employers need to evaluate are employee preference, work performance after receiving an incentive, and the positive or negative effect the incentive has on other employees. If employers understand the effect

Charitable giving is the religious act or duty is referred to as almsgiving or alms. The name stems from the most obvious expression of the virtue of charity; giving the recipients of it the means they need to survive. The impoverished, particularly those widowed or orphaned, and the ailing or injured, are generally regarded as the proper recipients of charity. The people who cannot support themselves and lack outside means of support sometimes become "beggars", directly soliciting aid from strangers encountered in
