An act of kindness can develop values for both the person receiving the aid and the person offering the support as well as community development. In this summary key points are discussed on altruism. The summary stems from an act of kindness, which was conducted by the author as a student of Capstone Course in Psychology/Psy 490. I presented money to a person who needed money for his or her next meal, without expecting anything in return. A person does not realize the degree of emotions involved in experiencing need nor true concern until he or she begins to offer support with no desire of reward.…
There seems to be an inexhaustible number of reasons that one person might go out of his way to assist another. One of the more interesting of these is to give to soothe one's conscience, or to avoid the guilt that comes with not offering help when you can. Ma Joad used this reason to feed the starving children at the first Hooverville they stayed at. She looked at those kids and tried to avoid giving them food so she could feed her family. Even Uncle Tom had a hard time eating his food with those hungry children looking on. Ma eventually soothed her conscience by giving the kids the dregs of the soup kettle, though she knew she should have given the entire helping to her family, as they had less than enough themselves.…
Walker’s thread to be comprehensible and interesting, but lacking in substantive content and reference materials. However, this reply has validated Mr. Walker’s through an survey and discussion of charitable giving important as an organizational resource and the concept’s historical significance. Examining the works of other scholars in comparison with Mr. Walker’s assumptions determined that Mr. Walker’s work was found to be reasonably congruent with the research of scholarly experts. To clarify the connection between charitable donation and volunteerism, this reply examined the concepts’ connection in light of a scriptural and scholarly context, which revealed that charitable donation and volunteerism are interconnected as biblical mandates and statistically repetitive personal actions. Overall, the thread was well crafted in writing structure and Mr. Walker’s strong articulation of core conceptual ideas revealed the work’s enjoyable nature and well executed…
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This is what we know as the golden rule. In today 's society, it seems to have been altered just a tad - "Do unto other 's before they do unto you." Albeit a negative connotation, it can be turned one hundred eighty degrees into a positive thought and gesture. The movie Pay It Forward does just that. This movie tells the story of a social studies teacher who gives an assignment to his junior high school class to think of an idea to change the world for the better, and then put it into action. Movie critic David Bruce remarked, "When one young student, Trevor McKinney, creates a plan for "paying forward" favors, he not only affects the life of his struggling single mother, but he sets in motion an unprecedented wave of human kindness which, unbeknownst to him, has blossomed into a profound national phenomenon." (Bruce, 2000) These actions have three requirements: It has to be something that really helps…
In Singer’s third chapter of his book he goes on to show us the common objections to giving. The opinion that I felt was the strongest argument was Lucy’s from Glennview High, “ If someone wants to buy a new car, they should. If someone wants to redecorate their house, they should, and if they need a suit, get it. They work for their money and they have the right to spend it on themselves.” ³…
As people mention the virtue, generosity, they always conceive of an image of a wealthy philanthropist who donates his money to people in need. However, in my opinion, the concept of generosity exceeds the narrow connotation of giving to others, and not only can rich people become generous; rather, generosity comprises of empathy to share others’ feelings, magnanimous tolerance towards other people, and returning to them with kindness.…

Every day in America’s schools, from elementary on to college, students engage in fund raising activities. Through activities such as selling everything from cookie dough to household goods, and sponsoring community events student and student organizations support a variety of worthy causes. These causes range from funding the school library to supporting local animal shelters. Even though some people may criticize schools fundraising as “gone too far”, but actually Student fundraising are beneficial to students/schools, communities, and the nation future.…

How people help their neighbors through tragedies and circumstances will determine how that society will thrive. As Claude Levi Strauss said, “It is the principle of reciprocity that holds a society together”. People have been helping each other survive for hundreds of years. Humans brand an action as kind by its performance, consequences, and by the person 's intentions. Reciprocity is considered a determining factor of human behavior. Reciprocity is trading favors or making a negotiation or a contract with another person. With reciprocity, a small favor can produce a sense of obligation to a larger return favor. This feeling of obligation allows an action to be reciprocated with another action. However, there is a sense of future obligation with reciprocity. It can help develop and continue relationships with people. Reciprocity works because children are taught at a young age to be polite and return favors. We teach our youth to treat people the way we would want to be treated.…
The cards that displayed the fact that the guest was improving the environment had little increase in the reuse of towels. Other towels however did have a response but examined the data and found many interesting findings. According to psychological influences on people, the article stated that, “There is no sense of social obligation to cooperate with someone who offers you something, provided that you perform a favor first.” So to say that you are more likely to do something in return for someone then initiate the action in a promised return i.e. the donation. According to society norms, a person is considered “moochers”, or “takers” if they do not return the favor after something has been done for them. With this in mind they added a four card statement that returned a 47 percent success rate, one that was greater than the corporation conditions. It was as…
In my Senior Year of being in the National Honor Society, I was excited to volunteer and to help those in need. I helped out with a soup kitchen in Brainerd through another organization that I am in, the Student Council. As I scooped soup into bowls and placed them onto people’s trays, I could see a look of appreciation and gratitude on their faces. This was the first time in my National Honor Society career where I understood just how much my time and effort meant to these individuals. This volunteer opportunity made me realize that a simple meal, smile, and effort to do something helpful and nice can really make someone’s day brighter or easier.…
