Category: Helping Others

Earlier this semester, I took an accelerated course called ‘Introduction to Sociology’ where I learned about the structure and function of human society. Similarly, psychology studies the mind and the behaviors that are associated to our brains. Noticeably, based on their similar objectives of study, there is set to be some overlap of ideas. The main overlap that I have identified from taking this class is the understanding about helping others. A few days ago, I came across an episode of the TV show ‘Friends’ that referenced the idea that there is no such thing as a selfless good deed. When I watched this episode, I recalled many terms and theories both mentioned in my prior sociology class and this course.

That is why, in this essay, I decided to analyze this episode of the show and the characters’ consideration of selfless help to others from a psychosociological point of view.

In this episode, the character playing the role of an aspiring actor, named Joey, walks into his friends’ apartment and informs them that he is volunteering as a telephone operator for a PBS telethon. During this conversation, he states that his volunteering as an operator will have two benefits. Firstly, he will be doing “a good deed for PBS”. And secondly, he will be gaining television exposure through this opportunity. In response, one of his friends, named Phoebe, asserts that this is not a ‘good deed’, but rather is entirely selfish. She states that he is purely motivated by the publicity he will gain through this volunteering opportunity, and he is not concerned with actually helping PBS or those benefited by the telethon. Joey counters Phoebe’s assertion by stating that there are no ‘selfless good deeds’. He states that all ‘good deeds’ are selfish because they make the individual performing the ‘good deed’ feel good about themselves and exude a feeling of self-fulfillment. In the remaining portions of this clip, Phoebe is eagerly trying to prove Joey wrong, that is, to prove to him that ‘selfless good deeds’ do exist.

A psychological theory that is apparent within this video clip is social exchange theory. This theory focuses on our rational decisions are made by considering how we can maximize our rewards and minimize our losses. This theory, thus, suggests that all deeds performed have a hidden, selfish motivation that drive the actor. In this clip, Joey is motivated to volunteer at the telethon because it will further career as an actor. He believes that volunteering at the telethon will allow him to gain visibility in the entertainment world and, in effect, permit him to secure more acting jobs. His participation in the telethon is not purely motivated by his charitable character.

But this is not to say that Joey was not motivated at all by his charitable attitude. This gives way to our second psychological theory: a discussion about the empathy-altruism hypothesis. The empathy-altruism hypothesis is the idea that empathetic concern for a person in need produces an altruistic motive for helping. One of the reasons why Joey chooses to volunteer with the telethon is because the telethon was going to raise money for youth in need. He states that by volunteering as a phone operator and taking donations over the telephone, he will be performing a good deed for children in need.

And the third psychological theory arises from Phoebe’s character in this clip. This theory is called the negative state relief model. This term proposes that people help others in order to counteract their own feelings and make them feel good about themselves. In this clip, Phoebe perceives herself as someone who does in-fact perform good deeds purely because they are ‘good’, not because these acts will benefit her in some way. This perception of herself is developed after she hears Joey state that “there are no selfless good deeds” and that every good deed performed by an individual is performed with selfish intentions. Phoebe completely disagrees with the idea that one helps others just to make themselves feel better, or the negative state relief model. In the remainder of the clip, she intends to prove that she is in fact an individual who performs good deeds purely for the benefit of others, rather than for her own self-interest.

As this analysis has shown, the topic of helping others is relevant and controversial and is covered even in popular TV shows. In this case, an episode of ‘Friends’, the theme of helping others and its selflessness is depicted through social exchange theory, the empathy-altruism hypothesis, and the negative state relief model. The knowledge I received from the course and the analysis with their help of the episode of the show gave me a deeper understanding of the topic of helping others and formed my own vision of it.

“People are more willing to give when they see generosity as part of who they are” – Dr. Summer Allen. Helping others is something inherent within each person, which gives anyone the desire to always strive to do good and spread it. Volunteering work, supportive actions or words, and even unplanned acts can do the biggest changes. It can also reflect positively on others’ lives. Moreover, all these initiatives, whether it is too small or big, still can boost the powerful values that an individual own. Donating for charity is one of the vital ways that can provide help or benefit people who in need. Thus, how can these contributions affect the donor’s life?

Each organization gives many opportunities for citizens to contribute and join charitable work. All these chances, in turn, enhance personal values and raise the sense of morality and ethics. We can take Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, as a big example of how the moral sense of helping others affect in someone’s commitments. On 13 March 2020, Gates stepped down from his position on the company’s board to spend more time on philanthropic activities. He says he wants to focus on global health and development, education and tackling climate change. Although his decision may be difficult, considering that he is the co-founder of the company, he chose the path that raises his moral values and brings him closer to people and to cover their needs. Having the ability to give and help others are, to many people, a privilege. Following up on these powerful sensations of responsibility is an extraordinary method to strengthen our very own qualities and feel like we are living in a manner that is actual to our own beliefs.

Donating can make a person a motivator. People involved in charity work are more likely to be good role models. Since they show the community that collaborate and lend helping hand have a significant role in raising society and its interconnection. All our charitable donations can inspire our friends, family, and neighbors. Participating in volunteer work, donating blood, and make a contribution of clothes and food will not only benefit us and people who in need, but also with these actions, we can expand the circle of giving and generosity. Focusing on raising children and build up the quality of altruism for all nears and dears without any exceptions. The least we can do is teach them to smile for all around them, no matter who they are.

Messenger of Allah said: “The relationship of the believer with another believer is like (the bricks of) a building, each strengthens the other”. He illustrated this by interlacing the fingers of both his hands. Islam taught us before approximately 1441 years ago that one of many ways to become a true believer is to like for people what exactly you like for yourself, and whatever you spent in donations remember! No charity shall ever decrease wealth, rather, it will bless, purify and whatever is spent. Allah will give it back multiplied and increase it. The charity has an essential standing in every faith that exist and has been there since the birth of a human. Every religion has given it important as it helps in balancing the society and fulfills the needs of its citizens. In Islam, we find this value in everything such as Zakat. Furthermore, Allah told how these small acts can influent our way of thinking and feeling, so lastly will affect how we behave. Consequently, Allah will reward us in this world and the hereafter.

Eventually, personal values, sense of morality and ethics, faith or religion and the love of spreading positive motivation and encourage people to do their best to stick together and to be out there to meet other’s needs. All these values defiantly give us self-satisfaction, raise the spirit of cooperation and love, expand the circle of donors out there by influencing them to associate and lend helping hand to the one who in need. In return for doing good, it is not only in this life, but it also earns us pleasure and acceptance of Allah.

Over a truly amazing span, we as a whole commit errors. Also, regularly we underestimate what we have, imagining that possibly we merit what we as of now have, or accepting that we won’t ever require anybody to help or help us free from troublesome and testing times.

Such was the case of a friend of mine who had an incredible work, a decent house, and all she required. She was, however, not a caring individual for a few reasons. The primary thing that became evident was her absence of sympathy for other people, who were not however lucky as she seemed to be. She would not assist anybody, nor would she even start to communicate any compassion for anybody’s situation. Her view was that they were downright lethargic or that they were not meriting on the grounds that they had individual issues. However, at that point came the pivotal day. Her significant other got into monetary trouble, extreme trouble, to where he had to default on some loans. Presently, she found that she was the person who had nothing. Presently, the tables were radically turned, and she was frantic for help. She likewise discovered that her folks were reluctant to help her; however, luckily for her, his family was willing and ready to help them through these troublesome occasions, notwithstanding the way that she had disregarded them and had prohibited them from her life.

I wish I could give you a lovely consummation of this account of help, however I unfortunately can’t. Despite the fact that my friend was helped through testing times, once finished, she returned to her actual self. In any case, this isn’t the primary concern of this story. The genuine point is that we as a whole need assistance some place along life’s way if we figure we will. What’s more, on the off chance that we are the one giving and aiding, we should simply recall this: regardless of what happens later, we will consistently be secure in the reality realizing that we have stayed solid and consistent with help from those that need our assistance. In the event that we travel through life helping, mindful, pardoning, we will consistently have our own unique fan club of individuals who love and regard us, regardless of on the off chance that others we have aided may not. We should never let others stop us from helping and being considerate.

“We won’t always know whose lives we touched and made better for our having cared, because actions can sometimes have unforeseen ramifications. What’s important is that you do care and you act” (Charlotte Lunsford).

The Gospel of Matthew and Isaiah both share the same theme of doing good things for people in order to receive the ultimate gift: the light shines on you. Christians have to listen to God in order to allow the light to be shined on them. According to Christians, without having faith in God nothing will work out for you. Jesus tells us that we are the salt and light of our world and that we can only shine if we are doing good things for others. The Gospel of Matthew and Isaiah portray the same theme of helping others in order to receive the light of God. Jesus confirms the light of God in the New Testament.

The reading of Isaiah 58:7-10 tells the story of removing the darkness from within us and allow the light to shine on us. It seems that dark clouds cover individuals, however the perfect day can come when the dark clouds clear, and then the spirit of helping and love clears the path for the individual. “Share your bread with the hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your wound shall quickly be healed; your vindication shall go before you, and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard” (Isaiah 58:7-10). The quote from the passage portrays the idea if you perform a good deed of helping someone in need, a light will shine and the Lord will be there to be ‘your rear guard’. The light is God being by us when we need Him most, such a; if we cry for help, God will be there for us.

The Gospel of Matthew shares a similar story of Jesus paving the path for us. The major metaphor “You are the salt of the earth” portrayed Christians being the most important humans on earth. Christians are the salt of the earth because they preserve the holiness in themselves and everyone around them. Salt back in time was used to preserve food in the desert, however now Christians preserve the world from evil. Another important saying from the text was “You are the light of the world” (Gospel of Matthew, 5:13-16). We are the light. We have two jobs in life: one is to maintain our own personal holiness, and the second is to shine light on everyone around us. Christians do this every week by attending church when we say ‘peace be with you’ to others around us.

The readings of Isaiah and the Gospel of Matthew tell two different stories, however they also overlap the same meaning. Both readings depict the meaning of sharing and helping others, which leads to listening and having faith in God. Caring and sharing is what brings a community closer together. If a community does not have these attributes, then it isn’t a community. Everyone in a community needs to help others who need it: “Share you bread with the hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own” (Isaiah 58:7-10). Isaiah is telling us that we have to be there for our neighbors and loved ones no matter what. God does not want us to turn our backs on ourselves because we need to pick people up when they are down. The text basically states that there is no such thing as a stranger and that all people should be looked at the same way.

In comparison, the Gospel of Matthew has the same meaning of Isaiah 58:7-10; they both want us to look out for people in trouble. From reading of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says: “Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father”. (Gospel of Matthew 5:13-16). God wants a light to shine on oneself before others because it will heal the wound and the Lord will stand by your side. He wants our sins to go away by helping others. “That they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father”, good deeds are replenished with the light from the Lord, who will be our rear guard.

Both of these texts relate to the theme of listening to God, and then a path will clear for those that listen. God has a process, and the Christian community needs to trust His process. The Lord leads us to a good life; there may be bumps in the road, however the bumps can be overcome. In the Old Testament, Isaiah says that there is a light that shines on us, however we have to make the path for ourselves. We must help people in need and help clear a path for the people around us. Jesus fulfills the same theme that if you listen to God, He will be there when you need Him. From the reading of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says: “You are the light of the world…Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father” (Gospel of Matthew 5:13-16). “That they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father”, states that “good deeds” make God happy. The quote is an incentive to do good and therefore feel that God cares about you because you helped people in need. Both God and Jesus want the light to shine on their followers. God and Jesus also want to be sure that sins are not being committed and that individuals can form their own path through their own actions.

So, the Gospel of Matthew and Isaiah both share the same theme: if you help others then the darkness will clear and a light will shine upon you. Isaiah says that God will give you the light and He will be there when you cry for life. Jesus continues the same theme throughout the Gospel of Matthew and confirms that good deeds will give you God’s light.

Passion can be defined as a strong emotion that can lead one to do great or terrible things and is a word that can undertake several meanings. It can be evoked from feelings of love, joy, or anger and is what ultimately drives me, along with many others to reach short-term and long-term life goals. Passion is the main force behind success and happiness that allows one to live a more fulfilled life. Passion also gives one the ability to focus, allowing one to narrow their sights on a particular goal. When you have a passion it is easy to find ways to fuel and maintain it, the initial difficulty is finding something to be truly passionate about.

It’s a question we’ve all been asked before: “What do you like to do?” A seemingly easy question, but it was always difficult for me to answer. I’d muster up a response along the lines of sleep, scrolling through social media, or watching tv. I never had a passion of my own or something that I truly enjoyed doing and felt was rewarding for my time. One day my sister and I were driving on the freeway, returning home from a shopping trip. We passed a car that had broken down and was on the side of the road. There was a lady and her two young children that were stranded. It was very hot outside and my sister insisted that we stop to see if we could help. We offered them water, gave them a ride to their house, made sure that they would be ok, and then left. I never saw them again, yet that memory stays forever embedded in my mind. I felt a sense of joy after helping out that family and felt that although what we had done was a small-scale change, that we had given back to the world. We had helped heal a family’s moment of distress and I experienced a sense of inner happiness from my actions. A few days after the incident, I offered my assistance to an eldery couple carrying several grocery bags to the bus stop. A few weeks later, my mother took me to a women’s homeless shelter to sort and serve dinner meals. I looked at helping others as an investment that would pay back dividends, I would offer my help and in turn, receive better well-being. I began volunteering on a weekly basis, at the women’s shelter, the art gallery, and the library. I found happiness in uplifting and helping others, even through the tiniest act of kindness. Months later, I found myself at a doctor’s appointment, a routine checkup, when I was asked once again, “So what do you like to do?,” but this time I had a genuine response, “Helping others.”

Passion is a powerful force in giving one a purpose in life and the driving force behind personal success. Passion motivates, inspires, improves, enables creativity, and brings satisfaction. Every individual should have a passion that they can explore freely and that can help them reach the keystones to their personal success.

Mental illness is your level of psychological well-being which affects how you think, feel and act that range from not too serious to very serious. Examples of mental illnesses is depression, a mood disorder causing you to feel extremely sad or lose interest in everyday and schizophrenia, causing the person to have a decreased ability to understand reality.

They are caused by a combination of genetic, environmental and psychological factors such as child abuse, feelings of low self-esteem or a mutated gene. Mental illnesses prevail as there is no complete cure for them, however treatment plans can be made which can help mental illness sufferers live life as normally as they could.

Mental illnesses are often looked over which is why they do not get paid attention to or sufferers are told to “get over themselves”. Mental illnesses have a certain stigma attached to them that say they are dangerous (schizophrenia) or people believe that mental illness sufferers have self-inflicted it onto themselves (anorexia). Therefore, people ostracize mental illness sufferers, making them feel worse about themselves and often bring up symptoms and make their recovery and acceptance of their mental illness difficult.

A solution to mental illness sufferers is group or individual therapy. These therapy sessions explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors and can teach mental illness sufferers coping mechanisms and strategies to ensure that they are able to live life fully and with few relapses.

Many sufferers are school aged or their symptoms are worsened by the pressures of school, like presentations, being forced into social situations and the pressure of receiving good marks. Due to this, I think that schools should get involved in hosting student support groups where students can meet after school and discuss their problems and coping mechanisms. Another option for students is booking an appointment with the school psychologist or talking to a trusted teacher. Schools should be wary of their student body’s mental health and should offer one day a term where students can take the day off to have a mental health day where students may be excused from lessons to talk to the school therapist. As this is generally interruptive, the lessons for that day can be on self-care and learning to love yourself.

In regards to the government, they should offer cheaper counselling rates as prices for therapists are often higher than people can afford, which is the main reason as to why many people do not go to counselling. Even though most therapy practices are private, the government could hire therapists and have them work in government therapy practices whose rates are cheaper for sufferers than other practices. In order to promote these practices, the government can advertise the cheaper counselling online, through social media and TV to target younger sufferers and make them aware that therapy is there to help you and to ensure that people understand that mental illness is not something to be scared or worried about.

These changes will be successful as it will improve general well-being of sufferers as the therapy teaches them coping mechanisms which helps them deal with their mental illnesses. With the government advertising that mental illness is not a reason to exclude people, this can make individuals who have mental illnesses feel more included in society which ultimately helps those live better lives.

Personally, I feel that my role in helping mental illness sufferers is to talk to them and make them feel special and loved. I can start doing this now and in actual fact, one of my really good friends from the UK, Becky, who I talk through social media, has been diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome and Pathological Demand Avoidance (which are both on the autism spectrum). Along with normally talking to her, I also ensure that she feels loved, supported and I always lend a helping hand in any way that I can when she tells me about her struggles. I could also try go to a group therapy session one day, just to listen to people talking about their mental health and how it affects them. I feel that this is a great idea to get a further idea of what mental illness sufferers go through. In regards to talking to them, I can talk to sufferers online through mental health websites and forums to help them through their good and bad times.

In my future, I can also take a psychology course in order to understand how these mental illness sufferers think at a university after I matriculate. This would help me as having a sound understanding of mental illnesses can ultimately help me in assisting others and enable me to become a psychologist or therapist if I wanted to.

Did you know that good deeds decrease stress which can give you a lot of diseases or heart attacks? People should help others without expecting any rewards. Just like Mawi Asegdom’s brother and father. His brother and father were caring people. The father used to wake them up early every day to do something nice to their neighbors. All people should help each other without expecting any reward because it would help make this world way better, there would be peace and no war, and it helps decrease stress.

Helping people can make this world way better. For example, helping your neighbors rake the leaves that fell off in fall. It would make their life much easier. If someone that’s wealthy sees a poor person on the streets, he/she should definitely help them. People would be way happier. Usually, people throw their garbage on the streets. But if people start encouraging them to recycle there would not be as much pollution as there is today. Pollution is really unhealthy to this world and it harms animals in many ways. “If everyone decided to forgive at least one person who hurt them by the end of the year, the world would be filled with people exchanging hugs and kisses, instead of words and bullets”.

Another reason is because there would be no war. Impacts of war additionally incorporate mass annihilation of urban communities and have enduring consequences for a nation’s economy. Furnished clash have significant circuitous negative results on, framework, general wellbeing arrangement, and social request. If countries helped each other with everything and the trading there would be no war between them. People would not complain so there would be barely anymore protests or revolution. No war means people will be alive and the economy would stay as it is. “Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be” (Wayne W. Dyer).

The third reason is because it decreases the amount of stress in your body. Stress is very bad for your health because it can give you a lot of diseases, panic attacks, and it also can give you heart attacks. That’s why stress is so unhealthy for the human body. People are positive. They are happy because they are helping others with stuff, they really need help in. People who have helped people a lot before have a very good reputation. Therefore, people would trust him. “One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren’t enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calm and carefully, we will get it done quicker and much less stress” (Viggo Mortensen).

In conclusion, all people should help others without expecting any rewards. They need to do this because it helps make this world way better, there would be peace and no war, and also it decreases stress. If something happens to you, they would be supportive and show all of their respect to you just like Mawi’s father and also his brother. The benefits you get from helping people are endless. People should start caring for others. The rich should give to the poor so all people could be equal.

A study conducted by Harvard, states that sympathy is profoundly established in human instinct it has a natural premise in the cerebrum and body. We help each other in light of various reasons. A few people help since they just can’t not to support others on the off chance that they need assistance. The others help since they wish to give some positive vitality or on the grounds that they should help. Here and there we can help the others since we are certain, that they will think positively about as after that. We have to improve our wellbeing, and certainly, that somebody needs us. At the point when we help, we likewise get genuine advantages to our wellbeing. People help each other because helping improves their overall health, and boosts happiness.

To begin with, people help each other because their overall health is strengthened by helping. Studies show that the effects of helping others can continue well after the act itself, creating memories of compassion that need to be drawn upon when raised. Helping others is not only helpful to your emotional wellbeing, but it also has incredible physical advantages. The basic joy of helping others reduces stress and boosts the immune system. It also washes out negative feelings such as anger and aggression. Best of all, studies show elderly people who support others live longer than those who don’t. Providing others with emotional support such as a phone call. Research shows that those who regularly support others feel less depression, are more relaxed, have fewer injuries, have better health, and may even live longer. Helping others generally reduces stress and improves the immune system. It also kicks out negative feelings such as anger and aggression.

Moreover, people help each other because helping makes them happier. Not only is it nice for them to support others and a good thing to do, but it also makes us happier and healthier too. Giving links us with others as well, building stronger societies and helping to build a better world for all. Doing things for others, whether it’s small, unplanned or daily voluntary work-is a powerful way to boost our joy as well of those surrounding us. Helping others increases happiness. It increases life satisfaction, gives sense of meaning, increases power emotions, increases our mood and reduces stress. It can help to eliminate our worries from our minds too. In short, helping others enhances happiness so do good if you want to feel good.

In conclusion, people help each other because their overall health is enhanced and satisfaction is increased. Helping others reduces depression and strengthens the immune system. It also washes out negative feelings such as anger and aggression. So, helping others causes joy. People who consistently help others feel less depression have more calm, fewer pains, better health and the even may live longer.

Helping others is giving positive energy to people, and connects us to others, creating stronger communities and helping to build a happier society for everyone. However, there are disparate ways for us to help others without spending money: giving blood, donating materials and doing volunteering.

Every day in the Canadian Red Cross, people give one unit of blood saves three lives. Each blood type is valuable, but if you are O-positive or negative, which occupies 37 percent of world population, your blood is more precious than you think, which can be used in blood transfusions for all other blood types, it’s the skeleton key. If your blood type is rare instead of the universal O type, on the other hand, you are more needed than anyone. Giving blood is not only helping people in accidents, where someone loses massive amounts of it, those suffering from anemia, rely heavily on red blood cells are also donated by you. It’s important for all of us to go and do our bit by donating regularly, not only will it save countless lives, but it might even save your own in the future.

Have you ever thought donating throwaway items? Maybe your unwanted items can help others go through hard time? One’s person clutter is another person’s treasure. There are many people in need of usable clothing, who are disaster victims, underprivileged people, and children in need of clothing, and your donations can help. When you throw away your clothes, they have no chance of reaching people who need them the most. When we have some spare time and goods, it’s an opportunity to help people who have worse conditions than us.

If you can’t spare a dime, could you spend some time on volunteer? Perhaps you can tutor a child, teach Sunday school, coach sports, or pick up litter in places where lack of labor forces. Volunteering is a win-win situation, volunteer is a place where you can use your skills. Even people like retirees have lots of time and experience and they are valuable resources for schools, churches, civic organizations, and charities. No matter what is your occupation in this society, what are you doing is achieving a better world.

Even if you are in between jobs, flat broke or on a fixed income, you can still be a generous helper through blood given, unwanted items donations and volunteer contribution. Generosity is one of the best human qualities, the rose in her hand, the flavor in mine.

Did you know that good deeds decrease stress which can give you a lot of diseases or heart attacks? People should help others without expecting any rewards. Just like Mawi Asegdom’s brother and father. His brother and father were caring people. The father used to wake them up early every day to do something nice to their neighbors.
