How And Why We Give To Charity (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)
It’s the giving season. Maybe you do, maybe you don’t. But many
Americans do. Give. And it’s interesting to look at where they give
and why, exactly, we give. And where the impact is greatest.
Philosopher Peter singer has been looking at need and response. At what
gets us to pull out the wallet, the checkbook, the debit card – and
what doesn’t. You may be the guy or gal who can’t resist the bell
ringer in the snow. Or the wide-eyed child in the magazine ad. You may
be methodical in figuring out your charity, or impulsive. Or missing
in action. This hour On Point: Peter Singer and American giving.
