philantrophy

It means helping peolple with out expecting somthing from them. Doing it just because you feel its the right thing to do.
When people does philantrophy they usually does it because they want to give something back to the society, either because they have the resources or the time.

In this new era not alot of people does philantrophy without expecting something. they does it because they want others to notice that they are doing something good.
Now a days with the ressesion caused by the United States of America, not  alot of people has the economic possibilities to donate money to good causes.

Philanthropy can have 2 sides, depending on the person doing it:
It should be a good act, and some people actually do it, they help from the heart. You can notice this when they don´t expect anything in return, when they are happy to give what they have, when they don’t expect to be famous for it.

Sometimes we see alot of comercial advertisments about "good causes" but they can be fraud like Televisa here in Mexico, maybe they do donate money to all those handicapped children but they used that cause to make the people watch their channel, they make us think that they a re good and we should support them and give them a lot of money, i dont mean that they arent doing something good but, in my personal opinion they dont donate all the money that they get from us.

But not only really rich people can do something about it, we can also help, maybe we don’t have money to give but there are other ways to help like giving our free time to go to centers where there are children, we can play with them, teach them something useful or trying to collect money to buy food, foment the reading in schools.

 We can see philantrophy with celebrities like angelina jolie, if they can and they have the money to help others its something remarkable, but if they are doing it just because they want all ttheir fans to notice it, its not  real philantropy.

I think philantropy its a really good thing to do, but I think that its unfair that people or associations does it just because they want something back.
So if you are doing soething that you think its good for your community you dont need to show the world that you are doing it, just do it because it makes you feel good inside.
