Essential Question Post #4

Since my last personal essential question response, I've been thinking about if what Peter Singer says to do in his solution to world poverty is what i should be doing to make the world a better place. I don't think that that would actually be the best thing for me to do. I don't think that I would really feel like I was actually doing anything by just sending away my money in an envelope. I think that for me to feel like I'm actually helping, I need to be involved in the process, and see the results of what I'm doing to help. I think that instead of donating money to make the world a better place, i should donate my time by voulenteering somewhere instead. I went to the humane society a couple times over the summer with some of my friends who voulenteer there once a week. I also have a few friends who voulenteer at the hospital on weekends. Maybe I should do something like that to help make the world around me a better place.
