being generous


In 1955 medical researcher Jonas Salk developed an effective polio vaccine. At the time polio was considered a serious threat to public health however, Salk refused to profit by patenting the vaccine because he was more concerned with preventing disease than with personal gain. While several people work to benefit themselves primarily motivated by financial gain or profit, some individuals adopt a more self-less approach by deliberately putting the needs of others first. Carefully reflect upon this statement.
Write an essay explaining whether (why or why not) individuals within society should be more concerned about others than about themselves.
Be sure to –
Clearly state your thesis.
Organize and develop your ideas effectively.
Choose your words carefully.
Edit your writing for grammar, mechanics, and spelling.
DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING ABOVE AS AN EXAMPLE , just as a guide to the essay.
Khalil Gibran; “Generosity is not giving me that which i need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than i do”. this quote is mandatory in the introduction.
