Reasons For The Humanitarian Award

Decent Essays
The Humanitarian award was created to recognize individuals who dedicate their time to others, and whose accomplishments are consistent. My mom qualifies for this award because she is always trying to be helpful, supportive, and she puts her family before herself.

She works many sporting events, and when she isn't working a game she is working at the forum until she gets a text from one of us four kids.

    I do not think Dr. Fend should get the award since he was caught and was punished for his “disobedience”. Another reason is because he never told anyone about what he had done, his daughter had found out after 15 years of research. I think that because since he made it obvious and he got caught which gave him a punishment by the Chinese Government. I don’t think Irene Opdyke should get the award since she only saved 16 people. Jose Castellanos saved 50,000 people and Irene saved 16, so that is my reason for Irene not to get the award.…

    The United States had a long tradition of expansion across the continent, but by the late 1800s, people started urging the U.S to start expanding overseas, following European’s model of imperialism. America’s actions in Cuba and the Philippines were the first steps in its quest to build an overseas empire. Many people say that for a complete explanation of U.S. actions in the 1890s, one would have to give equal weight to four motives: racism, nationalism, commercialism, and humanitarianism. However, humanitarianism was not a major cause of U.S’s actions in Cuba and the Philippines. The goal for the U.S was not to help people’s lives in those countries, but rather for commercialist, nationalist and racist reasons.…

Up until 2013, only occasionally would my guardian require my assistance with his work. I could either carry bags in or out of the house or support him in setting up.
