It is suggested that young people should undertake a period of unpaid work to help people in the community. Does it bring more benefits of drawbacks to the community and young people?

Humanity is the base of modern
society
and in order to live in a
society
, every child should be taught from their childhood to be kind and humane.
Therefore
, a group of
people
advised that the younger generation should encourage to do some social services voluntarily.
However
,
this
would bring more advantages as compared to the disadvantages to the young
ones
and
society
. The
first
merit of doing social work for the young
ones
without giving
money
to them would teach them not everything in life is done for
money
, sometimes helping the needy
people
is far above the
money
.
For example
, in our college, there was a club called 'NSS' in which club members used to do social works at the weekends like donating something to the orphanage, cleaning public streets and encouraging
people
to keep their surroundings clean and green etc.By interacting with the needy
people
,the young
ones
will be able to feel their pain of them and will help them without hoping for some reward in return.In
this
way , we will prepare our younger generation to become responsible and kind citizens.
On the other hand
, there are a few drawbacks linked with doing unpaid social services for the young
ones
.Because
this
is the phase of life in which children are encouraged to do something good and in return, they hope for some rewards.With
this
hope, they happily and wholeheartedly do something in order to get good results.
Therefore
, doing something without any reward would discourage them and they will not do that again in their life. The reward would not always be
money
, it would
also
be something different that will bring happiness to young
ones
and they feel appreciated. To sum up, definitely, helping
people
by teenagers have more benefits for both
society
and children.But, in my opinion, children should be given some rewards other than
money
just to tell them they had done a good job and
also
to encourage them to keep doing
this
in the future.
