The Science Of Good Deed

The Science Of Good Deed
Kindness is the act of being friendly or generous to others. We as people can choose to hurt or help people by our actions, but most of us choose to
help. When we are kind, we don't take advantage of our power, we want to comfort, encourage and strengthen those around us. In the article, "The
Science of Good Deeds" the author states that, kindness is a key ingredient that enhances positivity and helps children feel good about themselves as
it increases serotonin levels. My example explains that to have a positive attitude about what you do helps you and others feel good about them selfs.
Robert J. Furey once said, " Those who make compassion an essential part of their lives find the joy of life. Kindness deepens the spirit and produces

Importance Of Good Deeds
A good deed can be considered anything from volunteering at a soup kitchen to donating money to charity, with a vast array in between. Good deeds
should be acts of kindness meant to better the person on the receiving end of it. Good deeds do not have to be an extravagant event or display. No
matter the size or the money put into it, a good deed makes a difference by improving someone's life, helping others along with yourself, spreading
kindness, and igniting a chain reaction of good deeds.
Good deeds can improve someone's living situation. Four years ago I traveled to Ghana, a country located in West Africa. Where we were staying,
a city close to the capital called Teshie, the power frequently goes out. While we were there the power went out which became a major problem for
our friends in the country who run a crisis pregnancy center and children's home, The Fern House. Without power, they have no television, no fridge,
no lights, and no fans. To us an easy fix would be to get a generator; however, they had no money to even consider getting one. Knowing their need,
my brother and I decided to use our money we brought on the trip to purchase a generator for them. By giving them a generator we could improve the
current situation of the home by giving them access to power for necessities like a refrigerator. In order to go to the hospital in Ghana, you have to pre
pay for the supplies you may need before hand, including a cot, tools, blankets, and other necessities. At the

The Good Deed By Marion Dane Bauer
The Good Deed Contest In the story The Good Deed by Marion Dane Bauer, the main character Heather has successes and failures of kindness.
Heather has to do a good deed for a sight–impaired woman named Miss Benson. She meets a girl named Risa, who lives across the hall from Miss
Benson, whom Heather does not fancy right away. Heather then realizes that Risa has a difficult life, and struggles to take care of her family. In The
Good Deed, Heather has built–in confusions, failures, and successful acts of kindness. In the article Failures of kindness by George Saunders, the
author mentions "built–in confusions" that apply to Heather. The first built–in confusion is being central to the universe. This applies to Heather,
because she was

God has become angry with his people. He complains in the fifteenth century English play Everyman about humans and their obsession with material
items, riches, and wealth. Men and women, he feels, have taken for granted their blessings. God wants to reprimand Everyman for his sinful life and
sends Death to summon him. At the beginning of the allegorical work where figures and actions symbolize general truths, a messenger shares God's
concerns. The messenger tells the audience to watch and listen closely to the morality play so they can learn a lesson about life. Everyman fears
Death, and he desires to know what one must do to earn salvation and enter heaven. The writer then implies that the way to achieve salvation is by
doing good works....show more content...
Doing good deeds are an important part of the Christian life, but they do not grant an entrance into God's kingdom. Everyman, as a morality play, does
still have some Biblical truth and teaches a valuable lesson about life.
Thomas J. Jambeck describes Everyman as a Bernadine humanism work, a work in which a man acts as "an active agent in the work of his own
redemption" (109). William Munson echoes this idea, writing that Bernadine humanism gives emphasis to a person's motive, which is the reason why
a person acts the way he does (252). Both authors agree that if knowledge is what a person uses to influence his or her actions, then good works in
Everyman become the play's central theme. Knowing what to do and doing it are necessary to accomplish good works (Munson 257–58). Everyman
shows the importance of Knowledge and Good Deeds acting together when he plurally addresses them when he says, "now friends, let us not part in
twain" (Line 651). Good works become the result of the two working together. Since man has fallen after Adam and Eve's original sin, Murdow
William McRae argues that a true Christian must "cooperate with grace; that is, he must live well in the life of grace in order to achieve heaven"
(723). This statement implies that good works save people from hell and allow them to dwell eternally with God.
When Everyman learns of his pending death and judgment, he makes an effort to change his lifestyle. Since he does not have a

Being Kind To Others In The Science Of Good Deed
I can make a difference in the world by being kind to everyone at any circumstance. For example in the article, "The Science of Good Deeds" the
author states, ""One study showed that when men felt loved by their wives, they were less likely to experience chest pain that might signal a heart
attack." This just goes to show that being kind can benefit any person in a positive way. Additionally, "Angel in Disguise" shows us that being kind
to someone can not only benefit the recipient, but it can also benefit yourself. Mrs. Thompson was selfish and cruel before she met Maggie, while
she was taking care of Maggie her heart changed and she became less selfish. Furthermore, in the song "Hall of Fame, I learned that you can
accomplish anything as long as you try. This proves that anything is possible, but it isn't always easy to do.

Pros And Cons Of Deeded Ownership
Schreier (2005), Powanga & Powanga (2008) and Pizam (2010) declared that deeded ownership referred else fee simple, a deed ownership is a
written contract that supplies legal title after the contract price has been paid in full after the procedure of the contract. Kaufman, Lashley, &
Schreier (2009), Holcomb & Pizam (2008), Upcherch & Lashley (2006) Schreier (2005) and Chi (1998) agreed that the purchaser owns the property
at one week a year for ever, which means you should have the obligations to use, rent, lend, will, and sell your share of the property as suitable after
that, recorded with the court in the place where purchased and leave it to others as part of the estate, when the owner died. So, the purchaser should

A deed is something that is done, performed, or accomplished. A good deed is something that is accomplished aswell, but involves helping,
improving lives, and/or making a positive lasting impression in the community. There are millions of good deeds I couldve done for this project. I
couldve helped at a homeless shelter, volunteer for big brothers/big sisters, I couldve even volunteered at an animal shelter. For my good deed I
decided to donate blood. It was an extremely life changing experience that I would love to share with you. Ill be honest, I wasnt extremely ecstatic
about the idea of getting a pint of blood taken from me in the middle of a school day. Throughout the day I tried to pace myself and remain calm.
Now I'm pretty good at relaxing, but all I ever knew about being "relaxed" flew out of the window as soon as I stepped foot into the gym area. I
grabbed a pamphlet and a folder labeled "American Red Cross" in big, bold letters. I sat down and read all of the information they emphasize in
the folder. The first few pages were labeled with how I help and what I'm doing and I skimmed over those as Id already known how deep in I was.
When the time came a nurse let me to a little "room" where she had to take my blood sugar and heartbeat to make sure I was capable of donating
today. At first, I wasnt. She had informed me my heartbeat was through the roof and asked if I was nervous. "Duh!" Id thought. She let me sit and
relax for about 5–10 minutes before coming

The Role Of Good Deed In The Book Thief
Do good deeds go unpunished? Normally, you are taught by your parents to be selfless, compassionate, as the common saying goes "no good deed
goes unpunished." In the Book Thief this saying is especially true. A majority of the time when a character in the book does a good deed, or a
compassionate act they get punished for it. Some of the punishments are worse than others. A major act of compassion was when Hans
Hubermann kept their promise to Erik Vandenburg and allowed Max, the Jewish son of Vandenburg to hide in their house. The reason why Max
Vandenburg had to go into hiding was because he was Jewish, and during this time period the Jews were harshly persecuted. Despite the known
risk, "[Hans] walked to the front door and opened it," (Zusak 185). For him to do this was extremely dangerous in this time period, he could be sent
to prison, a concentration camp, or even get executed for helping a Jew avoid getting rounded up. But the act of compassion caused him severe
anxiety. "Hey! I'm right here, It's me you want. I live in this one," (Zusak 403). Hans constantly lived in fear that he would be caught hiding a Jew. It
got to the point of anxiety, where if any little thing happen he would get scared. But this wasn't the only act of compassion and selflessness of Han's
that would catch up with him....show more content...
Hans Hubermann held his hand out and and presented a piece of bread, like magic." (394) Hans Hubermann decided to humbly feed the elderly
Jew a little bit of food because he was starving. The jew was marching to Dachau a Nazi Concentration work camp that had little food. ""People died
of pneumonia, of being cold or starving to death." (Meta Doran, Holocaust concentration camp survivor) This was really dangerous because if you
helped feed an undesirable person such as a Jew you would get beaten, and sometimes imprisoned. He knew all of this and knew he would get
whipped, but he still thought of others before

Everyman
Author's Perception of Death
"The medieval morality play Everyman, personifying such abstractions as Fellowship and Good Deeds, recounts the death journey of Everyman"
(Allegory, 2010). The author uses symbolic names for characters to emphasize the moral of the play. "The characters in an allegory often have no
individual personality, but are embodiments of moral qualities and other abstractions" (Allegory, 2010)
The author sees death as important as life, especially when death comes to makes its claim. The message that the author conveys is that no one can
escape death. The author also sees that death does not care about who you are or what your status may be. The author sees death as man's final
destination, from which there is no...show more content...
Everyman realizes that he has an opportunity to make a change when Knowledge enters his life and leads him to Confession. He realizes that he must
repent in order for his life to truly change. It is when Everyman repents that Good Deeds becomes stronger. "Good Deeds weakness demonstrates that
Everyman's good works cannot merit salvation when he is guilty of unforgiving mortal sin: only the performance of penance will restore him to a state
of grace, revive Good Deeds, and make Everyman ready to render an account of his life before God" (Paulson, 2007)
The message that the author is trying to give is simple, you need faith as well as good deeds. It is clear that good deeds alone will not get you into
heaven. Jesus Christ must be accepted into your heart and your life as your savior. The author is saying that all mankind needs the saving grace of
Jesus Christ.
The play Everyman is quite simple, that every person needs to realize that it is not the treasures here on earth that are important. It is the treasures
that we store in heaven that will make all the difference in the end. The treasures such as a love for God, loving each other as Christ loves us, and
doing what is right. It is the heart that God will look at on the day of judgment, so it is important to allow Christ to change our hearts for Him.

The Good And Bad Deeds
Everyone seems to be in search of understanding the way of their life and the happenings that surround them on a day to day basis. When things go
wrong in life people seek God for help in need of hope and understanding. Everyone has an encounter with death within their waking life that reminds
them who their maker is and in that time they review the good and bad deeds in their life. People than realize that salvation lies in their hands, and that
it is a personal decision that only they can make. When God observe the people walking the earth, he sees how they are only serving themselves and
not him.
Most people are living as if there is no heaven or hell, or if there is no judgment day after they die. They have become content with living out their
lives without giving God the glory and salvation and because of this God has become angry with his people. He sees the obsession with material
items, riches and wealth. He feel as men and women we have have taken our blessings for granted. The gospel of Matthew is a book about Salvation.
The angel says to Joseph, in
Matthew 1:21, that Mary "will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." Immediately Matthew
interjects (1:23) that to fulfill the promise of Isaiah, "they shall call his name Immanuel (which means God is with us)." If you put these two naming
oracles on top of each other you will get Matthew's purpose.
The purpose of the gospel Matthew was to tell

Why Do Heroes Get Paid For Good Deeds
Heroes should not be paid for or rewarded for the good deeds they have accomplished. The saying goes, "work for a cause, not for applause," right?
Sometimes one must humble themselves and be heroic without expecting to be paid. Even though being a hero is a part of people's jobs and they get
paid for it, does not mean that everyone should be paid. To truly be a hero one can not take credit for the good deeds they might have done. In some
cases, the hero is also the person who caused the problem. Sometimes being a hero is just a part of a person's job. Doctors get paid for saving
peoples lives but that's only because it's their job. If one were to help someone while in public, they most likely would not get paid. On occasion they
might receive

Benjamin Franklin said, "It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it." This statement means that the bad
you have done is remembered over the good. No matter what good you do, a bad reputation will always be a part of your history. Once you have a
bad reputation people remember it. It might be hard for you to get a job, and a parent might not want their daughter dating you. People also might not
want to be friends with someone with a bad reputation. A bad reputation is easy to get, hard to get rid of, and remembered for a long time.
No matter what kind of job you are looking for no one wants to hire a troublemaker, so employers do not like to hire someone with a bad reputation.
When Joseph McCarthy was as Senator he tried to get more political power by going around saying people were communists when they were not. He
tried to crush the reputations of a lot of leaders by doing this. Eventually they found out he was falsely accusing people and then McCarthy became the
one with the bad reputation. The website pbs.org quotes this about Joseph McCarthy, ".....he was censured...show more content...
These examples are proof that a bad reputation is hard to overcome so it is important to protect your reputation by keeping it good. Think of how a
parent would feel if they found out their daughter wanted to date someone with the reputation of getting drunk every Saturday night or getting into
fights at school. Not only would a parent not want their daughter to date this person but they would not want them to be friends with them either.
These same parents likely would not even hire the boy to mow their lawn because of his bad reputation. These are all examples of how a bad reputation
affects your life and how hard it is to overcome a bad

No Good Deed Character Analysis
Format, premise, character traits and relationships for the episode analyzed. Daniel, you chose a great format style for the series, "No Good
Deed," your analysis was broken down quite well. I do agree with this series can fall under the drama comedic style of the webisode. You
mentioned," Ernest Fiddler, is blunt and straight to the point. If his son makes a mistake, Ernest tells him his errors without a filter. The script
stated by Ernest to Roy, "One, don't let those quacks put me on life support, tubes all stickin' out of me and whatnot. When it's my time, it's my
time." This statement proves he was blunt and direct in his speech. You also mentioned, "The main protagonist, Roy Fiddler, has a good sense of
justice. Roy always strives to do what is right, unaware of the problems he might encounter." This is shown in the script, "Roy looks at the flowers
and smiles, an idea coming to him. Checking no one's looking, he ditches the coffee line and salvages the flowers from the trash." Roy had a good
sense to do something good, however, his good deed turns deadly when his father goes into a coma due to an allergic reaction. Overall, your format,
premise, character traits and relationship was well documented....show more content...
You mentioned, "The premise of the series is based on the idea that a good deed can go a long way." I can see your premise working within a 6–minute
webisode. I can visually see Roy going through life trying to fulfill his father request, by doing good deeds. Overall, your premise is appropriate for a
successful 6–minute

It is said that a good deed can brighten even the darkest of worlds. Opportunities to help others can come in a variety of ways and each is important,
in its own respect. While microfinancing and charitable programs both have their respective benefits, in certain circumstances one may be more
appropriate than the other. Charity should be implemented in times of emergency because it provides short term aid with no strings, prevents banks
from capitalizing on tragedy and provides massive aid, whereas microfinancing loans should be utilized so that individual borrowers experience long
term assistance and so that jobs can be created in impoverished areas. Charity is more beneficial tham microfinancing loans particularly in times of
severe crisis. Philanthropy is absolutely vital when tragedy strikes. After natural disasters, individuals are not thinking about long term financial
security for their family but rather when their children may get their next meal and where they will lay their heads at night. Loans are not effective
these situations. The effects of loans cannot be appreciated because the borrower immediately must begin planning how to pay them back. Although it
is not directly stated on the Kiva website, it can be inferred that the microfinancing system in Nepal crumbled beneath the rubble of the earthquake in
early 2015. There are currently no borrowers in Nepal despite an impoverished lower class that Kiva frequently lends to in other countries. Charity
prevents

As the saying goes no good deed goes unrewarded. Coleridge, in his poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, tells a story that no evil deed shall go
unpunished. For every action there is an appropriate consequence equal to or greater than the original action. In the poem, The Rime of the Ancient
Mariner, Coleridge explains this through the crime committed by the ancient Mariner and the consequences forced upon him for his actions as seemed
fit by the spiritual world.
The albatross had flown to the side of the Mariner's ship and guided the ship through the fog. "At lengths did cross an albatross through the fog it came;
As if it had been a Christian soul, we hailed it in God's name."(64–66). Coleridge tells us that the albatross was a...show more content...
I believe that the events to fall upon the ancient mariner are consequences for blessings he destroyed.
The second punishment was more of a physiologic punishment placed upon the Ancient Mariner instead of a physical one. Life and death soon
appear and play a game of chance to determine the fortune of the Mariner and his crew. "the game is done, I've won." (43). Winning the game
apparently means survival as death takes the lives of the two hundred men aboard the ship. Life in death nonetheless blesses the Mariner with eternal
life. This had become his punishment because the Mariner could no longer pray, sleep, and every day must live with the agonizing loss of his men
aboard his now forsaken ship. "Alone, Alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide wide sea! And never a saint took pity on My soul in agony." (236
–39). It
is clear that the Ancient Mariner is being punished by the divine. In the same way the Mariner killed the Albatross the spiritual forces are in a way
killing him. The Albatross is dead and now the Ancient Mariner is metaphorically dead also. This is apparent as the Mariner has been isolated in
the middle of the ocean where everything all around him is the same and lifeless. Just as if he were to be dead and buried in the ground, there would
be dirt to his left and to his right without a single soul to keep him company. The only way for the Mariner to ease his pain is

Ethics Is Subjective, Good, And Bad
Ethics is Subjective There are some people in this world that believe that good is defined as raising a family, doing good deeds and protecting
other people from harm. However, there are others on this earth that are raised to believe that killing and stealing is neutral and not evil in any way.
This idea can be thought of as this: it is possible to grow up in the United States, where it is common knowledge of what neutral, good, and bad are.
However it is also possible to grow up in a terrorist organization somewhere else in the world. Growing up in this type of environment would promote
killing the innocent and stealing from everyone, like pirates. To prove that it is possible that man has the ability to have a different view onmorality as a
whole than someone else, I can use the second example. So let's say that I did grow up in Syria as a member of the Islamic State, and I watched
men slay innocent people, steal, and burn down villages my entire life. In my childhood I would be rewarded for doing such things; therefore,
would I have any idea that what I have been doing my entire life is regarded as evil by some? Moreover, would I have the belief that what I have
been taught is evil? No, I would not, because I have been rewarded by doing these acts throughout my childhood. Now, in order to prove the
preceding hypothesis true, let's look at how a different moral stance would act as. Let's say I grew up in the United States. I grew up on a farm, I was
born into a

When I walk around this city, I see people trying to make it by on the street, with nothing but the clothes on their backs. For the past five years, I've
dedicated my birthdays to volunteer work – a couple of friends and I hold a lemonade stand, where we raise funds for the shelter, and I accept only
gifts of canned food for people who suffer from homelessness. It was a simple thought that has made a big difference in my life, and I hope,
someone else's life. This sympathy for people living in tough situations translated into a little fundraiser, which turned into a yearly tradition. Helping
people this way has really inspired me: since, I have volunteered with the Homeless Shelter and other organizations, and I hope it has contributed to
making me a more compassionate individual. A quick idea has easily morphed into a cherished ritual, and that alone should demonstrate the impact
community service can have on your life. For some students, service is seen as nothing more than a grade, as something that has no purpose beyond
college applications. The lack of visible results may sometimes give the impression that no changes are being made, but community service is one of
the most important building blocks of our country. We have to look at each other when nobody else will lend a

Oskar Schindler 's Good Deeds Essay
There is no doubt that Oskar Schindler's actions helped save many Jews during the Holocaust. His acts of bravery allowed many Jews to survive the
Nazi regime and bring forth a new generation of Jews. We understand the outcome of Oskar Schindler's good deeds, but do we truly understand the
motives of his actions? What made a German industrialist so brave and devoted to saving the lives of the persecuted? Did Oskar Schindler see right
through the Nazi facade and see the evils and atrocities it committed? In order for us to truly understand Mr. Schindler's true motives, we have to see
his life through the whole spectrum, from beginning to end. We have to observe Oskar Schindler's upbringing, his activities before the Holocaust, his
actions during the Holocaust, and his place in history after the Holocaust. Only when we have studied this man's life in it's fullest can we truly
come to some understanding of why he was so motivated to do so much good and help the Jewish people and also where he found the courage to
stand up to the evils of Hitler and the Nazi regime. That is the purpose of this investigation. However, before we begin to emerge ourselves in the
life of Oskar Schindler we have to begin with the lives of two pivotal figures in Oskar's life, Franziska Luser and Hans Schindler. Hans Schindler,
father of Oskar Schindler, was a farm–equipment manufacturer and Franziska Luser, mother of Oskar Schindler, was a homemaker. On 28 April 1908,
in Svitavy in the Sudetenland,
