    Big Brothers Big Sisters of America is motivated to create a well-balance community for our young youth. They are a Not-for-Profit organization that deals with helping children who are struggling at school, having issues at home or who just need a companion to talk to on a weekly basis. This organization relies on our community to help support them and provide donations to keep this organization running in every state in our nation. WinCo Foods is a For-Profit organization that deals with a cheaper low-cost warehouse based out of Utah that supplies this grocery market with low-cost deals that low income families can afford. They are privately owned, where each employee owns a stock of the company which allows everybody employed with this company to have a say in how this grocery market runs and earns their profits. There are positive and negative views that could be related to each one of these organizations ranging from federal budget cuts, to the cost of food rising along with lack of volunteers and working for a non-union company which creates tension within the workforce along with lawsuits. Each company has their problems, but each organization also has their own ways that keeps them in business even through our economic struggles which is what we are going to analyze throughout this piece of writing.…

    Both modern day society’s view on homeless people and the donation of money to a poor homeless man support my opinion on the situation. Modern day society’s view on homeless people is that they are dirty bums who have nothing better to do in life than to sit on the street and beg for money. This is wrong in that many…

    Panhandlers Research Paper

    Everyone thinks that by giving them money they are helping that individual person. They drive away feeling real good with themselves, but if they were to take a second look they would realize that all they are doing is enabling that person to continue this pathetic existence. I will tell you about a situation that happened to me and why I no longer give money to panhandlers. I was twenty-two I was going to work and I was stopped at the light at McNeil and 183 heading to fm2222. There was a guy standing on the corner he had a sign asking for money I had some extra money so I gave him five dollars. After that I was feeling really good about myself till I saw him walk to the Walgreens parking lot and get into a Jaguar. It was at that moment I decided to never give money again. My sister will also never give money to panhandlers because she used to work at the Walgreens. She would come home and tell us stories about the people standing at the intersection coming in to use the phone to call their friends and say “its your turn…

    The Lottery Veldt Analysis

    In Shirley Jackson’s story “The Lottery,” the villagers use the excuse of an annual ritual to literally execute one of their own in the mistaken belief that it will help them enjoy a bountiful crop each year. It’s a classic case of human sacrifice that goes back thousands of years, to biblical times, when farmers would use sacrifices of animals and sometimes humans to appease “the gods.”…

    Strong response to Emily Andrews "Why I don't Spare 'Spare Change'"

    Emily Andrews argues in her essay “Why I Don’t Spare “Spare Change”” that it does more harm than good to give money to beggars on the street rather than giving to an organization such as United Way to help the needy, pointing out that “one cannot be certain that one is giving to a needy individual” and that by giving to a charitable organization “ones money is likely to be used wisely.”…

    One rich source of fallacies is the media: television, radio, magazines, and the Internet. The arguments you experience in your daily life (work, family, shopping) are another source of fallacies. Identify three distinct informal logical fallacies you have experienced in the media or in your life. Explain how the fallacies were used and the context in which they occurred. Then, explain what the person presenting the fallacy should have done to ensure that he or she was not committing a logical error. You must post to this discussion on at least four separate days of the week, and your posts must total at least 500 words as you address this discussion. This means that, in order to receive full credit, your first post must be completed by Friday at the latest (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday would satisfy the four-day requirement). However, we encourage you to get into the discussion early in the week and begin interacting with your classmates and professor. Remember to post on at least four separate days during the week.…

    Essay On Proximity Vs. Distance: The Influence Of Charity

    We as humans don’t think of it immediately as it happens in front of our eyes but it’s still a thought that deeply lingers within our unconscious brain as we see that one dollar that we worked so hard for escape the tight grasp of our hands and end up being crammed into another dusty cash register. Now a days it seems as if our cringe and shiver with fear every time we walk into a store and then it practically seems to be sobbing for mercy when we get into the dreadful long and boring checkout lanes. As if to add more insult to injury we wallets than begin to hear the cheerful voice of the evil cashier who’s bagging our items ask “hello sir/mam, would you like to donate a dollar to...” it’s at that given moment where most of us begin to doubt and wonder if that one dollar which we worked so hard for really will make a difference in someone’s life.…

    Why Is The Moon Landing Fake

    The moon landing was such a big accomplishment to all of mankind that I just refuse it to have been faked in front of millions of people. The universe is such a mysterious place that we barley know anything about it. It’s surprising to realize that we know more about our own moon, something that is 240,000 miles away, than we know about our own oceans. We still have much to discover about our own planet and planets millions of light years away. The moon is just such an insignificant thing that even though some think we still have not been there, we have so much information about it that it is so hard to believe them.…

    Homeless Ethics Paper

    Homeless Ethics Paper

    I come from a fairly large city in California so I’ve been around many homeless people throughout my life. I’ve had good and bad experiences when it comes to being around them and dealing with them. My initial view of the homeless is that they are somewhat lazy and that a lot of them are on drugs. I feel this way because I’ve seen and dealt with so many sick, obnoxious people on the streets aggressively asking for money. I always think to myself, if I were in that situation I would find a way. There are so many resources that help people get back on their feet. Instead of begging on the streets, I would go get help. Instead of asking for money, I would ask for help from one of the many organizations so I can find a job and make my own money. However, there is another side of me that is extremely empathetic. This side of me knows that something sad and unfortunate must have happened to these people and that this life isn’t their choice. For example, children that are born into homeless families, people with mental illnesses, and of course people who have been laid off of work.…

    Plato, Descartes and The Matrix; what a trio of reading that if not for my ability to read without believing everything that was before my eyes, I would not know what to believe. After reading the three synopses I had to regroup and think, did I read this or was this a dream? I will now try and compare and contrast the three and show if there were any similarities and differences. I will start with comparing Plato and the Matrix in that there are similarities between the two. The similarities are that in both synopses the players (Neo of the Matrix and the people in the cave) are being deceived by what is before them.…

    Poverty and Homelessness in the United States

    Poverty and Homelessness in the United States

    Poverty in America is a subject that though everybody recognizes is existent, most do not pay attention to very often. In 2010 the poverty line for a family of four was $22,314.00 and 15.1% of Americans were living off of less than that (Tavernise, 2011). While 15.1% is a high number to begin with, the truth is that many more people are living on the verge of homelessness. Countless families are split up every night with children going to a friend’s house or an extended family member’s house to ensure that everyone has somewhere to sleep. These people are called the “hidden homeless” by the Charlotte Observer (Whitesides, 2011). Even more people are either living in tent cities or in their cars all around the United States. The events that lead to homelessness range from drug abuse to being laid off from a career because of a poor economy; but sadly the former makes it seem as if everyone who is homeless is in their situation because of their own faults. Many people who are approached by someone who is homeless or sees them panhandling for money hesitate to offer money because of the discourse that all homeless people are alcoholics and drug abusers. Unfortunately, the truth is that “many adults panhandle on corners for money to pay for a cheap motel room so that their children can have a warm place to sleep for the night” (Whitesides, 2011). Through this essay, the topic of homelessness and poverty in America will be explored by understanding some of the causes that have contributed to poverty throughout history and how the homeless are coping with their situation.…

    Comparing The Myth About The Connection Between Poverty And Laziness

    The myth about the connection between poverty and Laziness is real. Whenever I look at a panhandler the first thought that comes to my head is why? I start to wonder why this people would rather sit beg rather than get a job own an apartment and at least enjoy the bare necessities of life. The myth is that most of these people are mentally ill and drug users but this is far from the truth. They are usually working class people who couldn’t meet up payments and lost their homes or people who work just as hard on minimum wage jobs. Most of this people can’t afford education hence minimum wage jobs.…
