Willful Ignorance In Lewis Carroll's Alice Through The Looking Green

Volunteers are not employees. Volunteers serve organizations by contributing time, energies or talents that help to fulfil the organizations' mission. They are not paid a wage for their contribution, however some employers may pay travel and lunch expenses.

From personal experience, many people who volunteer truly do go because they want to help out. If they don't go for that reason, then they may enjoy themselves anyway. I volunteered to clean up the streets near Coney Island beach in New York after hurricane Sandy destroyed many homes on the East Coast. Amongst the volunteers with me many were New York high school students who went simply because their school made an announcement that they should go. They also received volunteered hours added to their record. However, all of these kids stayed an extended time than their recorded volunteer hours. These kids stayed, along with me, because we all felt a need to help out the community. Those high school students were rightfully receiving volunteer hours onto their record and a feeling of goodness. This example points out how offering incentives allows charities to gather more people. Yet, it is possible volunteers may leave with an object or prize reminding them of the good they've done. The people who volunteer may not have that initial desire to help if they are going because of the

The intrinsic of motivation is a type of motivation that focusing on the internal rewards compare to the external rewards such as money. People who have intrinsic motivation will be more likely to enjoy their work because their doing it out of burdens. According to Kendra Cherry From verywell.com intrinsic motivation “ Activities can generate such feelings when they give people a sense of meaning like to participate in volunteer or church events. They may also give you a sense of progress when you see that your work is accomplishing something positive or competence when you learn something new or become more skilled at a task.” Most of the retired people who worked there are attaining the feeling that they are doing something good for others and making their life more meaningful. By having the intrinsic motivation volunteer are making them feel better to go on with their

An inspired military, countless civic engagement programs, and a born again patriotic nation will be birthed from initiating a National Service. Promoting the betterment of this country will breed a new generation of Americans. Someday this National Service could become a Universal Service, stretching across the globe, unifying countries and promoting altruism as a cultural norm. Assisting the less fortunate and protecting mother nature can only benefit future generations, as a greener, more educated America takes the reins of this country’s future. Harness the spirit of volunteerism and make it a permanent part of American culture (Stengel). Create a better tomorrow. “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” –President

Volunteering in America is something that has helped this country to grow the way it has. Services that were given through volunteering are a necessary part of how this country has dealt with its challenges. Beyond the wars that have made and changed the lives of Americans, this country has also had to deal with tragedy that strikes with natural

However, volunteering can be difficult to achieve as it “relies disproportionately upon citizens possessing ample time and resources [which] risks favoring certain members of society over others. This encourages the dominance of extreme interests [and] outcomes that civic engagement seeks to avoid” (Civic Engagement, 2018). By volunteering and demonstrating philanthropism, individuals gain influence over others who recognize their work. As such, the act of volunteering must avoid being contorted from an act of good will to an act of

The United States is a country of volunteers. In 2002-2003, 64 million Americans (28.8 percent of those 16 and older) donated 52 hours a year, the equivalent of more than one full work week, to building shelters, coaching Little League, caring for the elderly, teaching literacy, and countless other community-minded pursuits. Statistics show in Source F that “groups mandatory and nonvolunteers – were less likely to volunteer 8 years after high school than persons who strongly encouraged to volunteer or did it for strictly voluntary reason (43 percent).”

I know from other experiences that volunteers really make a difference in people’s lives. Volunteering is something that everyone should want to do, and the benefits are a great part too. I have learned through my church family different ways to feel “needed” on this earth, and one of those ways is to help others. I have learned about Karma, within the last couple of years, and I truly believe in it. What goes around, comes around. So I think that if you are only putting good deeds out there, then eventually someone something will do good deeds in

As with a paid employee, volunteers need the same motivational push to perform and be their best and return on a regular basis. However, with increased fuel costs, those who regularly give of themselves will stop volunteering. The motive is not to have a different mileage rate, just one equivalent to those receiving an actual fiscal benefit for their services. A volunteer may already have personal, financial, professional, and in some cases emotional ties that may possibly deprave a person’s motivation when making decisions. Why add to the burden when it can be a benefit for those charitably contributing to society. Incentivizing an individual with a form of indirect remuneration can motivate someone to continue serving a non-profit organization. While Government may grant a tax-exempt status to an organization it does not extend the exemption to the individuals carrying out the duties and burdens imposed on and related to volunteering. While it could be argued that non-profit’s should receive more, having this mileage rate equal to the private sector is a great way to keep volunteers on the road. The Non-profit

Volunteering can help you gain experience in an area of interest and meet people in that field. It can expose you to different careers, even if you not planning on changing careers. Volunteering gives you the opportunity to practice important skills used in the workplace, such organization, communication skills, time management, team work, and handling task. Volunteering has helped transformed me into a well-rounded person. When I first began to volunteer I thought I would be helping or impacting other people’s lives but honestly its helped change my life for the

However, Alice does not react angrily, but goes along with the peculiar conduct of the inhabitants, as it is a world composed entirely of her own visualization. Inside Alice's mind is a malconformation of worldly ideas, which could be categorized as characteristics of an insane personality. In the stories of Wonderland, Alice wanders in a state of "dim consciousness," engrossed in a world of her own entertainment. It is such a question asked by Lewis Carroll that makes us wonder whether Alice is insane or merely absorbed in a dimension devised by her innocence and allure of nature and people around her.

Main Point: If we all agreed to volunteer at least once a month to help out those in need, we could alleviate many of the problems.

Science proves that helping others, donating, or volunteering our time can actually make us happier and leaves us healthier which allows us to live longer.

According to the article “Why volunteer? Because you can gain more than you give” by Carrie Chapman, she says that “Volunteering can teach you things about the world that you didn’t even know” III.
