Community Service = Asinine

Wed Sep 13, 2006, 11:35 AM
Community Service is asinine. Requiring it for anything is there for asinine. Thus people who require community service is a jackass.

Ok, just a little reflection on my conclusion and what brought it up. NHS has a section for Community Service, it is 20% of the points for admission. You tell me if its fair? It's call national HONORS society for a reason. So, I ask of you, what is the signifigance of community service?
A sense of giving back? Helping your fellow man? Shows good character? You would think these are good reasons. But, wait?? How does any of this help people? How does this show good character?

First off, giving back to your community.
So picking up garbage at your football stadium benefits your community how? I hear you saying that it saves the school money. But, with that money it could fund a janitor. Which benefits the janitor, he /she gets more money whats so bad about that? But, with the budget cuts this is an excellent excuse to make students do the cleaning. Heh, free labor's great..

Now with a sense of giving back. Don't give me that, hardly anyone does it for that reason. They may say it is but, they're only doing it for the awards and recognition. I'm not being cynical. Its true...So many people do volunteer work hoping to get into a college. By, require it anywhere forces the good intitions out. This reasoning goes for helping your fellow man.

Now, requiring it lowers, the quaility and intention. It also cheapens the actual work that people do just to help the community. I mean come on. Its a joke.

Now, you're probably angry and think I'm crazy and lazy.The truth is I haven't done community service. Why? Because I haven't found a medium worthy of help. Key Club, the one of the local service clubs, is a joke. They help the community by helping certian organizations. Its a corrupt organization in the first place. Then there's teen court, which gives teens a slap on the wrist instead of actual punishment. The fact that some people believe its helping teens is kidding to themselves. I have looked for reasonable places to volunteer. Church Groups are crossed out because I'm athiest and they only do it to promote their religion. I also barely have any time to do volunteering. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind helping recycling or the environment but, I haven't found much. I'm also limited by location due to not being able to drive. Which helps no one .

lol, i heard that volunteering at the libary is incredible boring... Its worthwhile to walk in and see all the kiddies on the computers on myspace...People don't go to the library to get books that often anymore.
