It has been suggested that all young adults should be required to undertake a period of unpaid work helping people in the community. Would the drawbacks of such a requirement be greater than the benefits to the community and the individual young adults?

In

age, it is common to hear many charity

organisations

are forming. Donating physically or through online are different ways

However

others regardless

others, regardless

of the place the less fortunate live. Whereas, others beg to differ, claiming that help offered to citizens of the

country

should be placed

first

before anything else. On the

is vital to providing a better place for the needy.

One

example is like the recent case that happened in Paris. The cathedral, Notre-Dame, broke out

. In

is well-off, shouldn’t they

On the other hand
