The idea that every individual ought to contribute a set proportion of their income to charitable causes is increasingly discussed in many societies.

proposal aims to promote fairness and social responsibility, I only partially agree with it because mandatory or fixed donations may create inequality and reduce genuine willingness to help.
On the one hand, encouraging people to donate a fixed amount can create a more equitable distribution of support for charitable organisations. Many charities rely heavily on voluntary contributions, which often fluctuate and may not be sufficient to fund essential services, Linking Words

as education programmes, poverty alleviation, or emergency relief. If all citizens were expected to give a small and affordable percentage of their earnings, these organisations would have a stable source of funding. Linking Words

On the other hand
, requiring everyone to donate a fixed amount regardless of their financial situation may not be practical or fair. Income levels vary widely, and individuals facing financial difficulties—Linking Words
such
as low-income families, students, or the unemployed—might find mandatory donations burdensome. For some, even a small percentage of their wages could mean less money for essential needs. Linking Words
In addition
, obligatory contributions may undermine the spirit of charity itself, as donations motivated by social pressure or policy requirements lack the sincerity that voluntary giving embodies. People might come to view charity as a form of taxation rather than an act of compassion, resulting in resentment or reduced engagement.
In conclusion, Linking Words
while
a standardised donation system could provide reliable financial support for charities and encourage social responsibility, it is not suitable for everyone. I believe that donating should remain voluntary, though governments and organisations can still promote awareness and make it easier for people to contribute Linking Words
