Philanthropy

It’s motivating to have a brotherhood full of people who have the same goals and values as you. They push you to be the best possible and provide advise and tips to accomplishing your…

best self. As philanthropy moves into online spheres, people engage in activism differently. Online activism is considered slacktivist, where no real effect results from an individual’s actions. Viral social movements such as The Ice Bucket Challenge and Kony 2012, although yielding different results, question whether charitable activities online are activist or slacktivist. Using Judith Butler’s theory of identity performance, I argue users of social networking sites perform philanthropy to…

Part Three – In-Depth Evaluation/Assessment It was with great difficulty researching Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), simply due to the nature of the organization. It seemed that every personal story on the site had a horrible, and predictable ending. Much of the research phase of this nonprofit was accompanied with tears for those who have lost their battle to a relentless adversary and regret for their families who had to continue on without them.

One conflict still carries through to today: should the Industrial leaders of the late 19th century be characterized more as “captains of industry” or “robber barons?” Two prominent figures to be noted are Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller. Neither was born into wealth, but rather, they earned it themselves through their success in the oil and steel businesses. But the question here is…

Many would agree that murder is the most morally atrocious and impermissible thing that an autonomous being can commit. As well, many would agree that there is a certain moral obligation that everyone should have to their fellow man, and hence feel some obligation to help prevent the suffering of a fellow man if the opportunity presents itself. However, how far does that obligation stretch? Does it go beyond the bounds of only being morally responsible for the circumstances that you can see in…
