    Andrew Carnegie is a philanthropist of his time, and helped shape America for the better. Although I believe this to be true, it is not a statement made without appraisal or periods of ambivalence. In researching the world’s richest man, it’s easy to see him as the good guy in his youth, as a young man, and eventually in his retirement. It was during his industrial revolution where Carnegie seemed to be beside himself as a robber baron. Still holding his core beliefs and values throughout his lifetime, if seemingly only in creed at terms, he wanted those with wealth to enfranchise others.…

    The protestant further symbolizes a hypocritical religious figure, in the way that he preaches about charity but lacks the ability to help Candide or attempt to convert him to Christianity, as the bible suggests. Additionally, this chapter attempts to illustrate the misconception that all Christians are charitable and good natured. Modern American society reflects this concept, for it is commonly assumed that Christians are of a higher standard in the country than atheists or those who worship other religions. Although the Holy Bible does suggest that Christians live a charitable, devoting way of life, this does not conclude that others lack this ability. As Candide concludes, “the fruits of the earth are of common heritage” (Voltaire, 113), meaning that all humans are created equally and are just as capable of being selfish as they are of being generous, regardless of religious…

    Men who indulge in philanthropy and maintain the poor as well as they maintain themselves because it’s a moral calling to do good are not necessarily good men. Henry Thoreau, author of “Walden”; argues that philanthropy is “overrated” and that it is selfish to “Stand between any man and his genius”. Thoreau emphasizes the gift of living and cherishing accomplishments stating them as “Blessings to mankind”, he uses figurative language,ethos, and pathos appeals, to demonstrate how he views society. One method Thoreau uses to expose the fallacies of philanthropy is his use of figurative language to develop a fervent but disparaging tone. Thoreau uses personification to give the act of benevolence an odor, when he states “There is no odor so bad as that which arises from goodness tainted”.…
