Question

Evan and Sia Steele are wealthy entrepreneurs who are very interested in helping children who have been abused. What philosophy would they choose to implement?

Answer 1

Answer:

Philanthropy

Explanation:

Philanthropy is when a person or a group of people take it as their own responsibility to advance welfare of others particularly by giving money them as a generous donation in order to eliminate social problem. The purpose of philanthropy is to contribute to improvement in the welfare of humankind through the prevention of and provision of solution to social problems.

Philanthropy and charity overlap but they are different. The aim of charity is to eradicate the suffering caused by social problems, while philanthropy aims to eradicate the social problems that is causing the suffering. For instance, it is charity when food is offered to a person who is being affected by a famine. The food will only provide short term solution as they will again suffer from hunger later in the future. However, philanthropy is when people are trained on how to grow food as this will eradicate the social problem which is the source of hunger.

Therefore, rendering assistance by Evan and Sia Steele to children who have been abused is a philanthropic gesture.
