its a COMPARE/CONTRAST essay between donation and Zakatit should be close to this
essay and the same works Cited and and one more work citedCharity around the
WorldCharity is the volunteering offering of help to those in need, in most cases, it is in the
form of money. Lundquist describes charity from a biblical perspective by answering the
question, what is the supreme good? In his book a Call for Charity, he answers the question
stating that the supreme good is having compassion towards those in need. Compassion
comes as a result of love; therefore, charity is love (Lundquist 2). It is through love that
people get the need to assist others, who are less fortunate. Charity has existed for many
years since the origin of humanity. This is evident in historical documents or books,
commonly in religious texts such as the Bible, Quran, Baghavad Gita and many more. This
paper will examine charity around the world and its impact on the global society.The main
purpose of charity is to help the less fortunate. It is perceived ethical for a financially stable
person or a person with more food to assist that with none. Charity does not require an
individual to be wealthy, but simply one who has the ability to offer assistance. It is a
voluntary act where an individual or individuals take part in showing love for fellow
humanity by giving. This is a global practice and one of the common characteristics that
define humanity; compassion. When charity is mentioned, most people think in terms of
money, but charity is not entirely about money. People offer help in many kinds such as
givingAuthorLastName3food and clothing. This kind of assistance is not limited to a specific
country or state. Due to the need to help others, the geographical difference can be
overcome easily through money; it is easier to access. For this reason people commonly
offer charity in terms of money.Dr. Beth Breeze in her article Charitable Giving is often
driven by Personal Taste, Not Perceived Need, examines the aspect of voluntary giving. She
claims that when an individual gives charity in the form of money, it is assumed they are
donating since they are moved by the needs of the less fortunate and desire to help. Dr.
Breeze supports the idea that charity is not only intended for the needy. She claims it is
broadly assumed that charity primarily focuses on the needy and the activities of most
donors have the needy in mind. In reality, according to Dr. Breeze, this is not exactly the
case. She conducted a study on the choice of donors when it comes to charity. The study
revealed donors choose to support the causes that mean something rather than supporting
the charitable organizations that meet the urgent needs.Dr. Breeze explains that the choice
to support a particular charity is largely driven by the personal inclination of the donor, as
well as preference. This is driven by the desire to assist people they feel some likeness with,

2. and for specific causes due to personal experiences. For example, during the Hurricane
Katrina incidence, most Americans offered donations to assist the affected. People in the
developed countries offer charity to those in the under developed such as Africa and some
parts of Asia among others.AuthorLastName4Dr. Breeze brings another notion of charity
that people are not very familiar with; charity to animals. She examines that one of her
interviewees during the study she conducted claimed he preferred sending his charity to
the support of animals. Animals need assistance, as well. For example, endangered species
are expensive to sustain and to avoid extinction; organizations support the animals through
charity.Despite charity being for the good of people and animals in need, it is examined that
some individuals take advantage of charity for personal gains. Pallota claims that in charity,
it is believed the money does not get to the intended persons (p.1). She claims when
searching the internet for charities waste money results generated 3.6 million findings. The
comments of people in these findings; blogs, forums and articles, showed a public distrust of
how the funds they donate is used. They did not trust how the charity organizations conduct
their business (Pallota 3). Pallota points out that in the forums, an individual claimed the
American Cancer Society uses 9.6percent of the revenue collected through charity is spent
on administrative expenses. Another 21.8 percent of the money is spent on campaigns to
raise more money (p.3). Such expenditures create suspicion among donors as they do not
see the purpose of their donations being put in action. This example, explains the reason a
large number of the American public believe charities waste money.Small and Verrochi in
their article The Face of Need: Facial Emotion Expression on Charity Advertisements
examine the advertisement of charity. The authors claim these charity organizations display
photographs of persons with the need for help. This is because of
theAuthorLastName5human aspect of empathy as they expect an individual to have
companion over the needy and donate. The emotional expression on the face of a victim
affects sympathy and giving. The authors explain that these emotions are likely to catch a
sympathetic person and will likely donate. This is after seeing the sad-faced victim in need.
It is not bad to advertise as long as the intention is genuine as donors require evidence of
the use of their donations. When used positively, charity saves lives of thousands of
innocent individuals. Through charity compassion over fellow human beings is expressed
by donors.Business organizations offer charity as part of the corporate social responsibility
(Lundquist 21). For example, the airline company, Fly Emirates, offers donations to the less
fortunate around the world. The company provides help through The Emirates Airline
Foundation . The foundation supports well being of children and the health of the less
fortunate. In addition, the foundation provides donations to support the campaign on a
clean environment. There are other organizations, both profit and non-profit that support
the needy in the society. Through charity people reach out to each other around the globe to
offer assistance where necessary. As a result, charity builds a global society where love is
promoted among humanity.In conclusion, charity is a result of compassion between the
fortunate and the less fortunate driven by love. People from different regions of the world
come together to assists the less fortunate in any possible way. Charity has existed for
centuries since historical periods and is observed as part of ethics or tradition in some
societies. Despite charity providing a chance for survival to theAuthorLastName6less

3. fortunate, some individuals take advantage of this situation for personal gains. The money
collected for the intention of charity does not reach the victims in need. This has been
experienced in several occasions; thus, increasing concerns regarding the trust on
charitable organizations.Works CitedDr. Beth, Breeze. Charitable Giving is often driven by
