The way forward for philanthropy???

Philanthropy has good prospects for development in the coming days. Both in socialist and capitalist countries.

The emergence of socialism has completely changed the social status of the masses of the people who are oppressed and exploited, and the proletariat and working people have become the masters of the country, fundamentally guaranteeing the power of workers, peasants, intellectuals, and all patriotic people to manage state and social affairs and their democratic rights.

Socialism is not built on the basis of private ownership, but mainly on the basis of public ownership to develop the productive forces, which fundamentally solves the contradiction between the socialization of production and the private ownership of the means of production, thus opening up a broad road for the development of the productive forces.

Socialism advocates a distribution mode with distribution according to work as the main body, continuously expanding social welfare, achieving social equality, and avoiding polarization.

This determines that the trend of socialist development is common prosperity, and the ultimate goal of socialism is communism. All these require a high level of development of the social productive forces and the full perfection of the social system, and are a historical process of progress.

In the process of the development of the productive forces, it is inevitable that the gap between the rich and the poor in society will widen because some people and regions get rich first, and we need to alleviate the sharp contradictions through philanthropy so that the majority of people can live a better life. This is a necessity for philanthropy. As long as the gap between rich and poor remains, philanthropy will not fade one day.

The same applies to capitalist societies.

Capitalist system: private ownership of the means of production and employment relations:

The capitalist exploits the surplus value of the laborer through the employment relationship. It is a social system based on the appropriation of the means of production by capitalists and the exploitation of wage labor.

In capitalist society, the gap between the rich and the poor is even greater, and the social contradictions are more acute. However, if the development of society needs to continue to move forward, they must try to alleviate this contradiction that hinders the progress of society. Philanthropy is an essential tool.

In fact, the history of philanthropy in capitalist societies is much longer than that in socialist societies.

Philanthropy in socialist society is aimed at improving people's living standards, while philanthropy in capitalist society is aimed at ultimately safeguarding the fundamental interests of the owners of the means of production.

In any case, philanthropy is indispensable in the current state of development and trends in the world.

1. Increase happiness and happiness.

At the beginning of man, nature is good. While helping others, I also helped myself and increased my own happiness. This is something we don't usually feel, only to really get involved, when we help people in need and see the happy smiles on their faces, we will naturally feel joy and excitement in our hearts!

Give people roses, and leave a lingering fragrance in your hands. That's pretty much what it says.

Second, it has a certain positive significance for ensuring social stability.

Economic growth, technological progress, and social modernization are certainly the goals pursued by human beings, but in the end they are only means, and human development and human welfare are the ends. Philanthropy takes into account the issues of efficiency and fairness, and effectively promotes the common progress of all members of society, thus producing certain positive significance for social stability.

Third, it is conducive to narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor.

Now in China, the gap between the rich and the poor between urban and rural areas is still very large, and we have been committed to resolutely narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor and achieving social fairness. Participating in public welfare and charity is a very effective way to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor.

Fourth, effectively solve the living conditions of vulnerable groups.

In China, there are a very large number of people in need of assistance, tens of millions of disaster victims need relief every year, tens of millions of urban low-income people need to participate in the subsistence allowance, in addition, there are tens of millions of rural absolute poor people, the disabled and the elderly over 60 years old need various forms of assistance, in the face of such a situation, it is really necessary to vigorously develop public love donations.

The cause of love donation is a great revolution in our country and plays a vital role in the development of our country. Only by fully understanding and mastering the love donation industry can we gradually enter the era of "charity for all" and promote the vigorous development of China's public welfare undertakings.

The social significance of philanthropy is to proceed from the moral level of love and goodwill, through actual acts and actions such as voluntary donations, to carry out the third distribution of the material wealth of the society. It not only plays the role of caring for the elderly and helping orphans, but also helping the poor; At the same time, it plays a role in regulating social interpersonal relations, alleviating social contradictions, and stabilizing social order.

Functions of philanthropy:

1. Make up for deficiencies.

Medical relief is an important part of China's philanthropy and plays an invaluable role in safeguarding and safeguarding the health of people in need. As one of China's traditional philanthropic undertakings, relief for the poor and sick has given thousands of poor people the opportunity to prevent and cure diseases.

2. Take care of the vulnerable.

Due to the uneven distribution of wealth and the widening gap between the rich and the poor in today's society, especially the adjustment of the industrial structure, some new vulnerable groups have emerged in society, such as extremely poor households in rural areas and laid-off workers in urban areas. Therefore, caring for the disadvantaged remains an important mission of philanthropy.

3. Be kind and charitable.

In the process of reform and opening up and the modernization of social hardship, charitable activities have been carried out frequently. Charity associations in various localities have mobilized and relied on the strength of all sectors of society to provide disaster relief and help unfortunate individuals and groups in need, and have carried out various forms of charitable relief activities, all of which are the inheritance and development of the spirit of benevolence.

4. Maintain culture.

In the succession of generations of charitable assistance, traditional Chinese social and cultural values have been maintained and promoted. Throughout the traditional Chinese philanthropy, the excellent moral qualities of the Chinese nation, such as respecting the old and loving the young, filial piety and compassion, helping neighbors, helping people in need, and helping others, are all profound reflections of the Confucian "Yu Wang's Thought of Benevolence".
