First meeting of Charity club "Hope and love"

    The charity club in our school American College "Arcus" started its action during the first years when the school opened. Its mission is to support people and institutions that need help by organizing and taking part in different charity activities and events. We had to defend our participation in this club by writing an essay. I chose to write on the following topic: Is there hypocrisy in charity? And this is my essay:

   In my opinion there are two types of benefactors - one who do it to receive a personal benefit from that and others who do it selflessly. The first type are the ones who take part in different charity events because they are mindful for the people who are disadvantaged. The other type are the ones who do these things because they need to affirm their social status.

   There are many people who feel sympathy and compassion for the people who are poor and those who doesn't have physical and material ability to provide everything they need. These people are trying to do everything possible to make the life of those who needs help easier and to support them.They do this selflessly and don't want anything in return, just to make someone happy.

   But appart from this type there are other people for whom the god case isn't as important as to recieve some profit from it. These people participate varios charity campaigns for gain, which in my oppinion is also hypocratical. These people are not interested in social issues and the misery of the disadvantaged people. For them the only important thing is ther personal happiness an the achievement of personal gain from what they do. These people have no morals and are blinded by their selfish ideals.

   In charity there are both compasion and pity as well as hypocracy, triggered by personal goals and benefits. We all participate in charitable events not because we are obliged to or be wish to accomplish our goals but because we care about others who don't gave our abilities and resources in life.
