For sale: A good deed!

Hardly the temperatures rise, populate them back to the inner cities: the well-tempered fundraiser, which will cut off the way and proclaim: "You look as if you've a Moment!", "Children, you are definitely at the heart!" or "The rain forest is cleared, you can change it". "Dial Ogre" these are called incarnate rhetoric machine, the acquire on behalf of the professional Fundraising company for a variety of charities, members and donors.

show up Where dial Ogre, is usually no Escape. In Internet forums and tips on how you can in front of these missionaries, hats are circulating (on the floor, rigid, in a group of people to camouflage, zig-zag March, ostentatiously the ears). Individual Fundraising agencies in the last few years, not only because of these aggressive solicitations, but also because of questionable working conditions in the criticism. Who is going to fly out or no Bonus does not receive, if he moved at least five passers-by every day for the signing of a direct debit, it is, of course, go researchers to work as a member of the society, the helping in his spare time, in the case of a state action. And when it comes, to move people to do Good, then any means?

Admittedly, it is debatable what the Good actually consists of. It is useful to establish a children's sponsorships? Protection of species is still relevant? The construction of schools, helps in a sustainable way? Organizations such as Givewell's request, auxiliary works hard facts on the effectiveness of their projects and donation give consent to recommendations, as you can use your money most effectively. Who's dodging the Dialogern, because he thinks there is a more meaningful projects, would be consistent, for these donations.

What it needs are the rules

However, even if the dial ogres have the most effective charities would be: Should we really care of them to the Conscience of talk? If you do not know, whether you are jetting off to Mallorca or those cheap to buy the fashion that you denounce. Who leads the Argument of double standards in the field, in order to justify the large bow that he makes the actions, not the Dialogern, it is important to you, what you pull out rhetorically to the field. But if someone is preaching only water and wine to drink, not to judge from the outside. In addition, double standards disqualified non-mandatory pre-complaint other: to live If we can get decent, it might not matter whether we have decency. Or as the philosopher Max Scheler once said to have: The signpost is not the way that he has.

The Problem should rather be that the dial setting up Ogre printing. We consent to the good deed, because we fear accusations or blame. As Immanuel urged Kant to the fact that we act, not from inclination, but from duty, then, because he wanted to bind love and compassion for the benefit of a cold, Duty-consciousness. But because he believed we do Good only reliable if we have seen that mutual respect demands of us that we can Do our and generalize. If we do Good because we fear Anger, we will change our behavior only in the short term.

That children are starving, animals are tormented and the Aletsch is melting glaciers, is unquestionably bad. These are not natural necessities, but the consequences of human omissions, makes it a moral scandal. Eliminate we can so serious problems only if we act jointly. Talk: political and legal instruments in order to create fairer and more sustainable rules.

we Have a world in which such rules apply, would dial Ogre superfluous. Maybe you are at the Moment, so it's necessary: you nervous for so long, until we establish rules that we need you.
