Summary: Charitable Organization and British Way
1. A summary of the advert that beggars belief.

The article “The advert that beggars belief” by Alexander Chancellor is about beggars in India and Great Britain, they talk about how many beggars there are and what they are using their money on when they get some. Many people try to convince themselves that it's a stupid idea to give beggars money because they use them quite often on many stupid things. Westminster Council making a campaign there says if you give beggars money you “actually” are guilty in cause of theirs death. It is a bad campaign because they give a wakeup call to people and says it is a bad thing to give money to beggars and you should not do it, because you don’t know what they are going to use their money on and if you do it you can cause their deaths. They call you to stop giving them money.

2. Give an outline of the carious attitudes to charity as expressed in texts.

The four texts show the different views of giving charity, there are many ways to donate money today, from when you give a coin to a beggar you see at the streets to send a text on your mobile phone to a charitable organization. The article “the advert that beggars belief” has a negative attitude to beggars, in Britain they don’t want to give beggars money because they says it can cause their lives because they use the money on drugs or something like that. In the article “Charity never dies, it only sleeps” we hear about the British way of thinking to improve our own and our families lives, it is best also to improve the lives of those around us. It is a conservative way to think everyone has to be equal. In the article “the year of charitainment” they talked about that there are so many charity organizations and you have to focus on one and that helps the famous people with, Angelina Jolie helps to focus on Sierra Leone.

3. Comment on the following statement “to improve our own and our families’ lives, it is best also to improve the lives of those around us.”

    Roleesha Rodwell and I, ironically, did the same nonprofit organization, The Salvation Army. However, our topics are very different. Roleesha pictures voices The Salvation Army as a whole, which is giving back, but my paper voices the awareness of domestic violence of the organization. Her concept of her paper is the organization is giving back to society, volunteering, and donations to support the ones in need. Both of our pictures express pathos, however, her picture makes people want to give back to the community, and my picture aware others about domestic violence.…

    The Tropfest film ‘Mankind is no Island’ represents the challenges of belonging to a place by exploring the irony of the misconceptions that cities, being so grand, would also create a grand sense of belonging within the individuals that populate them. However, the film shows us that many people are faced with isolation, starvation and alienation. This is shown in a scene with the quote ‘do we measure empathy by donations’, after these 6 words, the camera focuses on a homeless man kneeling in the street. The camera angle is low when you see the man appearing to be begging for money. His head is positioned downwards at…

    Peter Singer points out a large problem in overseas poverty and had many good data points to support this, but offers unreasonable solutions to fix it. Using pathos, he appeals to moral values and makes the reader feel like they are responsible and need to do something about this problem. He offers the solution of giving all excess money not used for necessities to overseas charities, which disinterests the reader and makes Singer a non-credible…

    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.”…

    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.…

    Singer begins with the assumption that suffering and death from lack of food, shelter and medical care are bad. Therefore, according to his principle, we must to our best prevent situations such as that in Bengal where people die from lack of food, shelter and medical care, from happening (by donating money), without sacrificing anything comparably important. We could deny this assumption but in doing so, we would not be honest to ourselves.…

    Point 3, although the idea of the highest good is a possibility, it is not within our power as humans to reach the highest good. This is because although we strive to reach virtue in our thoughts and conduct, we cannot be sure that happiness is added to virtue. We cannot, on our own, ensure we will get what we deserve from our efforts for we are not omnipotent.…

This article discusses how Norway is going to introduce an anti-begging law that will make helping the homeless in any way punishable with up to a year in jail. The deadline for the bill is February 15th, and if it passes, both beggars and those helping them could face prison time if found guilty.…
