Sacred Heart Community Service

327 Words2 Pages

Humans have amazing capabilities to be selfless and loving. I used to volunteer at the Sacred Heart Community Service organization (SHCS), an organization dedicated in bringing together the community to address poverty in Silicon Valley.

One of the most memorable volunteers that I met there was an elderly woman, Beth, who frequently worked in the clothes closet, a program that provides clothes to those who are in need. When I asked Beth why she was volunteering despite her age and fragility, she told me that she volunteers for the feeling of satisfaction she gets when

    Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin also known from her pseudonym George Sand, once said “charity degrades those who receive it and hardens those who dispense it.” Those who give to others solely believe they are helping for the greater good. While those receiving more or less don’t reciprocate the same gratitude. It comes from human nature to believe deep down to help others less fortunate than one. Generosity spreads to those in need creates gratitudes to those who dispense.

    I am sure that you all have been told to give back, but have you done it? A lot of ourselves make a promise that we ae going to do something good. Most of us don 't do it. In the short stories "Thank you Ma 'am" by Langston Huges and "Upon the Waters" by Joanne Greenberg, the main characters are people who sympathize with others and give back because they have been there. Both stories center around the theme of giving back by doing what you can because you know what they are going through.

  • Examples Of Random Act Of Kindness

    If we sympathize with them, we will offer kindness and at the same time a gracious connection is made. This is the positive power that each of us possess. Moreover, this is the most powerful act of generosity because true generosity is pure and giving any without expectation and no demand to be repaid. Random acts of kindness are the essential and vital to human well-being as they set us free from isolation, egoism and selfishness. In response, such demeanour is definitely the base of a healthy and joyful society where everyone willingly and happily reaches out to help another person and such an action is delightedly received.

  • Stanford Prison Experiment: Altruism Behavior

    698 Words  | 3 Pages

    Today we live in a world where nothing is free, and many people have an expectation on receiving something in return when they provide some sort of service for someone. However, society is helping create a norm of altruism by asking, advertising, and announcing situations when selfless acts are performed. Altruism behavior consists of being selfless and wanting to help others in need, without feeling obligated. Several psychologists define altruism as “a motivational state with the ultimate goal of increasing another’s welfare” (Batson, 1981). Thanks to the media, we are able to witness people demonstrating concerns for the welfare and well-being of others which has helped the encouragement for people to have altruistic behavior.

    If you aren’t helping, what are you doing? Some people today, are being “generous” for all the wrong reasons: to fulfill volunteer hours or to set an image. We need people to check their moral intentions before believing they are “helping” the community. In other words, people cause more damage to others when having the wrong intentions when it comes to charitable work. If we don’t, we create a society that pities those who suffer in order create a positive image for an individual.

  • Self-Compassion And Empathy In Evolutionary Psychology

    865 Words  | 4 Pages

    Human beings are selfish, selfless, empathetic, and apathetic. Humans are capable of committing the most violent crimes, ignoring desperate pleas, but they’re also capable of helping and saving strangers in life-threatening situations. The motivation and reasons for helping others can be argued from multiple perspectives. Evolutionary psychology posits people help due to kin selection and due to the norm of reciprocity, social exchange theory argues that people help to maximize social rewards and minimize social costs, whereas according the empathy-altruism hypothesis, when people feel empathetic towards another, they will help because of altruistic reasons (Arsonson, Wilson, Fehr, & Akert, 2017). Prosocial behaviour is an important topic because
