...Behind All The Positivity What do people do to help a local charity? Charities are usually to support certain causes. Giving to charities shows someone being a good and giving person, how one is not selfish, and develops some type of connection and love between people. Giving to charities shows how one is a good and giving person. A good person helps the ones around them. Those who actually give to charities are usually living a better life. They take and dedicate from their own time just to see others live a great life also. Just because some people have their downfalls and troubles in life, does not mean they deserve a different approach to life. Those who help have nothing to worry about since they are doing their part in helping. When people are hungry of suffering from a certain disease and others do their part in helping they emotionally feel somewhat better. It may still be on their mind, but at least the cause is a step closer to being helped. Using their persuasion they make others get involved in making a change also. Usually making a charity known worldwide helps even more. When somebody hears about it, they not only want to take part in helping but they also have an emotional connection to those people and what they are going through. Nobody should feel any pressure that they have to give to a charity, it all comes from how thoughtful and giving somebody is. When one feels better when they give it means hey did it whole-heartedly not just for the heck of it...

...My Personal Theory “Many people report that helping others feels good, often claiming that they get more out of the experience than those with whom they help. However, what you might not know is that there is research that has demonstrated that doing the right thing for others helps us to do the right thing for ourselves”. (Becker-Phelps, 2011) As a therapist it is often necessary to understand what our client is experiencing. It is our obligation to want to help the client work through their problems and reach a positive state of mind. There are many approaches to how a client should be handled. Doing the right thing for others means helping those in need. Being with them as equals throughout their sessions is important too rather than behaving in and one-up or superior position. The client needs to feel that they have someone who wants to help and can be trusted. In this paper I will discuss my view on helping, my views on the relationship between the client and therapist, techniques or approaches to helping, problems addressed in this model, multicultural issues, limitations and strengths, the population this model can help, and my original thinking. How and Why I formed this viewpoint My personal model of helping includes basic ideas from the moral model, compensatory model, enlightenment model, empowerment model, and expert model, with an emphasis on self-acceptance and self-awareness. I have formed my viewpoint from the massive collection of methods because I...

...daily. Devotion is very important to many and without it, many problems could arise. If spouses weren’t devoted to each other, subsequently they would have problems in their marriage, or even if they were just in a relationship. If soldiers weren’t devoted to protecting this country, then this country would be weak. Even though more powerful words exist, the word “devotion” is one of the most important because it means an infatuation or loyalty an individual has for a person, activity or cause. Being devoted to a person is very influential. For example, in marriages and relationships, both individuals are devoted to one another. Which means that they’ve chosen one another to love for the rest of their lives and shouldn’t wish to be with anyone else. If one...

...Amanda Sales Professor Ingram English 101 14 September 2015 Liking Isn’t Helping Not only is it used for keeping in touch; social media is frequently used in order to share images and raise awareness as well. However, many viewers only share or like the image without actually doing anything beneficial to the cause. Two different children with similar scenarios are displayed in the public service announcement. One child is lying on a hospital bed missing a limb. Beside him is another bed as well. The background does not appear to be like the hospitals in America, but those that we see in underprivileged nations. The other child appears to be in the middle of a flood. She is holding on to a wooden plank, using it for balance, or maybe just while she catches her breath. This child appears to be living in third world conditions as well, with the “not so average” neighborhood in her background. Surrounding both children are various thumbs up hands symbolizing the likes and shares on social media sites. The ad, “Liking Isn’t Helping,” is effective because it brings attention to the fact that more has to be done. The image has a variety of key components, which cause it to be persuasive. The key components consist of the background, the children as the focus of the images, the black and white filter, and the repetition of the thumbs up hands. In the background of both images third world conditions are apparent to the viewer. The child missing a limb appears to be in pain while...

...revolves around the “non-profit” i.e. Corporate Philanthropic organization known as National Kidney Foundation (NKF) which aims to give aid to needy kidney patients. It relies largely on donations to fund the organization’s most direct way of helping the patients which is to set up dialysis centers. Across its development as an organization, NKF has also adopted other forms of helping needy kidney patients albeit in more indirect ways. NKF has set up many social initiatives and garnered Corporate Philanthropic actions by other organizations. These initiatives are funded by the public’s donations. 1.2 Underlying major issues In this case study, a noteworthy major issue is (1) the appropriateness of the strategies which NKF had adopted in order to raise funds. Other major issues include whether the money donated to NKF has been spent appropriately by the organization. These expenditures include employee salary, infrastructure maintenance (e.g. building facilities), business trip fees (e.g. travelling and accommodations). Hence, this also brings up another issue of whether (2) a more than necessary proportion of the donations have been spent on the luxury of the staff members and their self-interests rather than to serve the cause of helping kidney patients and if (3) the staff members are being overpaid for their contribution to the organization. All these issues mentioned will be highlighted and analyzed in greater detail later on in the essay. 2. The major...

...After taking this class, and looking at my personality type, I have come to the conclusion that I would like to work for a non-for profit company following college. I think that being passionate about a cause can motivate one to perform better and at a higher caliber then one would work at a desk job that they did not enjoy. These choices are right for me because I enjoy serving and helping people through my actions and service. 2) There are two places that I would like to picture my future job. One is within the big city, Los Angeles, New York.. ect.. Another choice would be over seas and in a third world country. I feel that there are many causes that need help within third world countries and my services may bring help to these places. Possibly helping kids in Africa. Also these companies have headquarters, or people working for them, in major cities across the nation. 3) I would like to work for a not-for profit company that is already started and established and work for them for a few years. Possibly after I have gained knowledge and insight into the ropes of running a not-for profit company I could start my own and help a cause that I fully support and feel needs love. 4) Companies I would enjoy working for. a. Invisible Children- Helping to reduce LRA atrocities b. Amor Ministries- Builds and supplies homes for needy in Mexico c. Project Pomona- Helps girls within the sex trade and provides them hygiene packs. d. RIPPLE...

...both sides in negotiating, where advocacy is for one side of the party or cause only. “All helping professional have an obligation to advance the interests of their clients” (Barsky, 2007). According to Barsky (2007), “Power, the relative capacity of different parties to influence one another, plays a significant role in advocacy.” Resource power permits individuals to put an end to the conflict due to the exchange of resources. There are some individuals who do not know about benefits out there that are for their use such as, legal aid has may have funding that could help out with the cause. Advocators can aid clients in resource power by helping them find external sources. “Another method of enhancing resource power is to assist with an exchange of resources. Advocates can assist clients by helping them exchange certain resources for ones they need” (Barsky, 2007). There is concern that people who have more money and those who are better educated are more likely to sway opinions with government decision makers. Advocates can help in this problem area by furthering a wider approach to fax machines and computers in schools, libraries, and other public institutions (Barsky, 2007). Resource Power is a positive tool to utilize because the advocates can help clients find resources they need. Advocates may know of certain resources that a client had no idea was out there. “Advocates can assist clients by helping clients find the best price and quality, teaching them negotiation skills...

...The article “Helping Babies Make Transitions” provides the reader with an understanding of dealing with change. When faced with challenges how can you handle it? When working with infants and toddlers it is very important to aid them in correct ways. Finding solutions and helping others is key. Included in the article is an example situation of how transitions affect a baby’s physical development. When a baby’s caretaker is changed it can tell things are not the same. The way they are held, fed, and even talked to. They do not know how to express their feelings towards the change which results in them acting out by physically crying or making a fuss. Sometimes a baby’s internal forces can cause the outbreaks ("Helping Babies Make Transitions" ). During periods of time when these transitions occur the article introduces a procedure that can be followed. This three-step process is to Observe, Ask, and Respond (OAR) and can be used to aid in helping babies undergo changes. Even though many programs have plans and set ups to help them with transitions sometimes unexpected things can happen. The observe, ask, and respond process with provide assistance to keep things running as smooth as possible for the facility, baby, and parents involved ("Helping Babies Make Transitions" ). The first step in the process is to observe. When doing observations it is extremely imperative to take in everything! When dealing with infants and toddlers, and their development there are so many...

State legislatures and schools are effect by not helping the education department, by people not going to college because it cost too much, and by not helping kids in need in schools. First off, state legislatures need to help out a lot more on the education side of the funding because they don’t really give the education side enough money for students to be taught at schools. Also by doing this it could save states money from them being...

...Personal Model of Helping BSH/312-Models of Effective Helping January 24, 2011 Louis Kavar Personal Model of Helping My personal model of helping is based on my own experience with change. It is a combination of person-centered and behavioral theories that combine together to create the framework that will help me help others. I formed this viewpoint from several different areas. The first is from the different selections in our textbook. While reading the text selections I identified most with Carl Rogers' theories of therapy. Rogers' approach to let the client feel responsible for their treatment allows the client to take responsibility for the changes that they make. Person-centered therapy does not look to the past, as more Freudian therapies do. Person-centered therapy focuses on the present and asks the client to take ownership of their own wellbeing. In combination with person-centered therapy I believe that focusing on the present with a client is very important and letting the client discover their own willingness for change. Once the client decides that they have the desire to change, they then need the skills to make those changes in their life, which is where behavioral theories are implemented. Giving the client the skills to personally implement the changes is very powerful. It gives them ownership of their treatment and teaches them how to continue their recovery even after they have ended therapy. It is akin to the Chinese proverb of, "if...

...altruism and to show that the large number of people that volunteered after September 11th had their altruistic tendency invoked. Altruism from social psychologists point of view is a prosocial behaviour that has been defined as “a motive to increase the welfare or wellbeing of another person without conscious regard for one’s own self-interests (David Myers, 2010). It is a norm or an act that is highly valued and cherished by individuals and society alike. According to Wispe, (1972) as cited by (Michael A. Hogg, 2008) it is a positive attitude that contributes to the physical and psychological well-being of another person. It is a different type of helping behaviour in which the motive of “intentions and benefits” to the person rendering it matters (Dovidio, et al, 2006, p. 25). Altruism is a special way of helping, it is somewhat different from...

...Helping The Homeless Every day as I go down the streets of Milwaukee I see many things I see kids playing, animals running, people talking, cars going down the street, abandon houses & also see the sadness of people that need help. Not because there hurt but because of a number 1 leading problem in the World “Homelessness”. Over 1 billion people are without a suitable home & 100 million of them are without a home in general. These people are homeless for many different reasons someone could have put them out from something like a divorce, they could of lost their job which lead to them losing everything like a house & there family, or some people like women are homeless because they were domestically abused & that was there only outlet. To me every day I wish that I could help these people even if I could give them a small meal or some money to get a hot shower & fresh hot meal for the night. Helping the homeless is something that I have wanted to do for a long time because a lot of people in society does not treat these people as if they were normal they treat them as if they are the scum on the bottom of their shoe & they shouldn’t. I would help them cause so many are suffering from depression, anger, being physically & sexually abused & also become criminals because they are stealing, robing, & hurting to get the things they need to survive. Everybody deserves a second chance & I feel like if I had the opportunity & chance I would & I would name it Project S.O.H (Save Our...

...Why do we have to help the poor? Where the poverty rate in the world and in America is growing continuously and dangerous? Helping the poor is the duty of every member of society and governments. Several reasons for poverty are education, health, racism and others. Helping the poor should not just by providing them with money, food, clothes and housing. We should look for and solve the main causes of poverty. I am with helping the poor for several reasons, but not the usual ways, because helping the poor by just providing for their needs keep the problem of poverty continuous and increase the percentage of the poor. Also the problem of poverty causes other problems, such as an increased percentage of crimes, decreased percentage of safety, and decreased the economy, and failures to address the problem of poverty exacerbate the problem and create other problems. Those who are opposed to helping the poor or solve the problem of poverty may not realize that this problem may be reflected on them in the future for other problems. If we do not help the poor, crime rates will go up, and this affects the economy, which means an increase in the poverty rate. Education is closely related to the problem of poverty. For the illiterate person or someone who has a little education it is difficult for them to find any kind of job to fulfill the needs of themselves and their family. I do not mean education as just learning in the school, but also education and training for professions and trades...
