Marranzini: Philanthropist
Mary Pérez Marranzini as a Philanthropist
Philanthropy is “a voluntary action for the public good” (Payton & Moody, 2008). When a person realizes actions to help people to solve public problems in his country or in any place and the person do this voluntarily. “According to Helmut Anheier and Regina List, philanthropist refers to the use of personal wealth, skills, and time for the benefit of pubic causes”(Anheier and List 2005: 1969).A person act in a Philanthropic way when she take her money to invest in the good of a Society. “Philanthropy is the giving of individual time or private money without compulsion for the benefit of those outside of the family intended to make improvements in Society”(Witkowski & Bauerkamper,2016). Mary Pérez Marranzini is a living example of a philanthropist in the Dominican Republic because with her action she has benefited many people with physical disabilities for more of 50 year. She is the president of the Dominican Association of Rehabilitation, which is an organization that help people with physical and mental disabilities in this country.

Mary has raised awareness in authorities and health policy makers and spared no effort to find ways to ensure the success of her actions in favor of Dominican society (Rumbo Magazine, 1998).
I think that Mary Pérez is one of the women more important in the Dominican Society because she has worried for the wellness of many people in Dominican Republic and her action will be unforgettable because she has marked a before and a later in the life of the disabled of Dominican Republic.

    There are a lot of wealthy people in the world and not many are as charitable as Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie stated that “a man who dies rich dies disgraced”, with this saying you can get a sense of who he was as a person not just a business man (doc.8). Carnegie donated at least $100,000,000 a year of his money to education (doc.9). Carnegie donated $10,000,000 to the Carnegie peace endowment to hasten the abolition of war; he also…

    Andrew Carnegie is believed to be one of the most philanthropist person in history. Although he is said to have been quite wealthy and considered as the second richest man in the world, he dedicated most of his life to charity work. In the Gospel of Wealth, Carnegie stressed on the importance of being philanthropic through recirculation of money in the society (Carnegie 2012). He stressed on the fact that, giving away money to charitable organizations is not all. However, he suggested that, the rich should be guaranteed that money and resources given reach the community that it was intended to and used for the right purpose.…

    Andrew Carnegie, born in Scotland, came to the United States in 1848. Here he started with nothing and turned himself into a self-made man. He was in fact, one of the richest men if this era. In 1889 he wrote “The Gospel of Wealth”. In this essay he discusses philanthropy and explains that with money also comes responsibility. He stated that obedience [to the Gospel of Wealth] will one day solve the problem of the rich and poor, and will bring “Peace on earth, among men good will.” I agree with this statement because the “Gospel of Wealth” claims that everyone is free to make as much money as they can, however, they should not leave it to their heirs and should use it to help mankind.…

    Zapatista Role Model

    Her high status in the military was an accomplishment many look up to. She was very skilled, especially since she was able to take San Cristobal without any casualties. Comandante Ramona was not the only woman in the Zapatista army. Women made up 30% of the Zapatistas. They made demands for equality and justice with Women’s Revolutionary Law because women workers in Mexico had little rights. They weren’t treated as equals by the men in society, so they made 34 demands to make sure that they would be treated equally. The demands required basic civil rights like access to social services like education and health care, legal protection from rape through punitive and preventative measures, choice when it comes to family numbers and members, and the right to participate and/or lead in revolutionary and community matters. This improved the life of Mexicanas because when you have strong women like Comandante Ramona who fight for women’s rights making sure that they can become politically active and educated without the control of men, many of the injustices that are done to them by a patriarchal society go…

    Turgot on "Foundations"

    • 1053 Words
    • 5 Pages

    According to Turgot, foundations are private charities that are often created and continued for the wrong reasons. He believes that most of the time, it is a founder’s (whether it be a man, church, or corporation) vanity that leads to creating a foundation, rather that truly caring about what society needs or would benefit the most from. Turgot states that founders are drawn to the idea of the prestige of creating a new charity or are interested in the “glamour” of supporting a new cause or project. Similarly, he believes that even if the main reason for creating the foundation was not based upon the originator's vanity, the charities are attached to certain ideal, such as Christianity, and are partly interested in peddling and promoting the beliefs or wishes of the benefactor as part of the trade for financial support. This creates a potential dilemma for the recipient, who is reliant on the charity, to acquiesce to certain rules or beliefs that the founder promotes. In Turgot’s opinion, whatever the foundation, it is originally created to fulfill a particular “purpose that the founder had in view.”…

    Gospel of Wealth?

    • 3 Pages

    Andrew Carnegie wrote an essay called the “Gospel of Wealth” in 1889. It describes his idea of the responsibility of philanthropy (the love of man) by the people that acquired their wealth on their own, in their own generation. Carnegie believes that most heirs of large fortunes waste all of their money on personal desires rather than either using the money wisely or keeping it and adding more to it. He even believed that giving large sums of you money to charity was no good. How could you be sure that every penny of that donation was going to something good if you weren’t running the organization yourself? However, if the donation to charity were used to help set these people back on track, instead of just temporarily providing for them, then he would gladly give to charity because tis would benefit them and it would benefit the whole community in the end.…

    Global Citizenship

    • 1766 Words
    • 8 Pages

    With the developed information technology, the world has become smaller and smaller as a whole. However, a gap between poor and rich is growing in the last decades (Eikenberry, 2006, p.587). The philanthropy, which means voluntary contribution to welfare, also has received more attention in the mainstream media. Philanthropy from a few privileged people in richer countries can make a difference to the poorer people and countries. Just as Margaret Mead (cited in Leder, 2005, p.1) said “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can changed the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has”. Philanthropy which helps others is also a similar attitude to global citizenship. Global citizenship means recognizing the common humanity and establishment of the sense of agency and responsibility which is able and willing to engage the world thoughtfully, helpfully and hopefully (Kornelson, 2011, p.92). This essay will discuss global citizenship in three aspects: environment, education and diversity, and links them with the common responsibility. Then this essay will also analyses McDonald’s as an instance to explain its global citizenship.…
