Giving

volunteering in myself and in my community. Being involved is something that I believe every student and sometimes even every working adult needs to strive towards to better themselves. Although it is not always the most well off financially who are always giving the full extent of themselves to their community, it is usually the most content with their lives and the ones who always keep positivity in all that they do.

opportunities in your local area.

You always have to be patient for things in life and appreciate what you have. In the story The Gift and the Giver, the giver gave presents from the heart not to just randomly give out presents like it's Christmas. The king wanted to show love to the Giver so he made the Giver wait where he…

There aren 't really any major improvements I would make besides making the billboards globa. It is only located in Europe specifically in Germany. If they make the billboards in North America, South…

actions we can take…doesn’t take much time…become part of something bigger than us all”, the use of pathos is vivid (Red Cross). Red Cross uses an emotional approach to make consumers feel guilt for not donating blood. The target is set perfectly; giving blood is a selfless act and they use guilt to attract people towards donating blood. Their reason for consumers to donate blood is simple, they want more blood for their company. Getting people to donate blood by targeting them by using guilt is…

voluntourism is a great way of supporting and helping impoverished societies and it’s one of the best volunteering systems to just see some harmless, trustful families be glad and pleased.

you how to deal with situations and by giving you equipment that could potentially help. We all know that things can happen and no matter how prepared you are you could end up dead, or even with injuries that can hospitalize you.
