Describe someone you know who often helps others

Part 3 Follow Up Questions

1. Do people nowadays help others more than in the past?
   There have always been helpful people in every era, and they have used the means available to
   them to help others in need. However, I believe that people now have more means and resources
   to help others due to advancements in technology, which wasn’t possible in the past.
2. Who should teach children to help others, parents or teachers?
   Both parents and teachers share the responsibility of ensuring that children learn to help others.
   Parents should serve as role models, and teachers can incorporate lessons and activities in schools
   to instill this value in children.
3. In what kind of professions do people help others more?
   I believe that people in all professions have the opportunity to help others, either directly or
   indirectly through their products and services. However, those working in social/community service
   fields, such as NGOs promoting child education, women empowerment, and other social issues,
   often have more direct involvement in helping others.
4. Why are some people willing to help others?
   People who are empathetic, sensitive, and compassionate are more willing to help others. These
   values are often instilled in them by their parents, teachers, and other influential figures during
   their upbringing.
5. How can children help their parents at home?
   Children can help their parents with small chores at home like taking out the trash, washing utensils
   after meals and cleaning. They can also help their parents by being independent and doing their
   tasks themselves for example getting ready, doing their homework and eating food on time.
6. Should children be taught to help others?
   Surely, I think it should be inculcated in children from a very young age. I think if children don’t
   learn how to help others, they won’t be able to make friends also.
7. What makes children help each other at school?’
   The main reason is that children know each other’s feelings as they belong to the same age group.
   They believe they can help each other better than adults.
8. Should students do community service? Why?
   Yes, students should do community service as it builds very important qualities in them such as
   discipline and taking responsibility. It also builds a sense of ownership among them for the society.
   In short, they feel more connected wit the society.
9. Do students in your country do volunteer work?
   Unfortunately no. In India, parents focus a lot of academics and thus students find it very hard to
   give time to activities beyond studies and computer games. Parents do not allow their children to
   do volunteer work.
10. Why do some people do volunteer work all over the world?
    Firstly, it is to gain experience. In today’s competitive world, it is very difficult to get jobs without
    experience and so many people work to build up their resume. Secondly, people do volunteer to
    get a sense of contribution towards the society.
