Chapter 1555 Big Plan 1
For this event, the two of them have studied for a long time, mainly because of the shock.Because as students, there are many restrictions on carrying out fundraising activities, so they must find suitable projects to implement their plans.
The United States is a country where philanthropy is popular, and the large participation rate shows that philanthropy has a strong public foundation and social consensus in the United States.Many people believe that this has something to do with the history of the founding of the United States.
In 1620, the May flower carried 102 Pilgrims to North America and established the first colony here.
What they faced was the harsh winter and the lack of supplies. They traveled thousands of miles across the ocean but found that there was no roof to cover their heads.
It is said that at that time "only six or seven people who were still in good health were left."However, these people "willingly and without complaint, dedicated their true love to their fellow men, so that people can finally survive".Therefore, in its early colonial history, there were many philanthropic practices.
There are also corresponding organizations.After the War of Independence, the United States finally came into being. Although the war brought independence, it also brought various war traumas, and people paid more attention to charity.
Americans during this period "demonstrated a general compassion," Tocqueville noted.Charity organizations emerged to help orphans, widows, and prostitutes. Charity paid more attention to family relationships and those most in need.
Up to this time, philanthropic concepts and organizations were hardly modern.
From the last 19 years of the 30th century to the beginning of the 20th century, there was a wave of philanthropy. In 1889, Carnegie, a well-known rich man at that time, published "The Gospel of Wealth", uttering the golden and wise saying "It is a shame to be rich and die", which became the motto of many rich people at that time and even in later generations.
Rockefeller also later earnestly pointed out that "the era when the rich are willing to use their wealth to give back to society has come."
In 1901, Carnegie spent $500 million to set up a relief and pension fund for steelworkers, and donated money to build 68 libraries in New York City.
In 1911 and 1913, the Carnegie Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation were established successively. By the time of Carnegie's death in 1919, he had become the most generous philanthropist in the United States, giving a total of $3.5 million.
It has donated and built 1412 libraries in the United States and more than 2500 libraries in English-speaking countries.Rockefeller "made persistent efforts" and continued to donate. Before his death, he became the largest philanthropist at that time.
It must be said that the philosophy of charity and the modernization of charitable organizations are inseparable from the modernization of the economy and society.
This round of philanthropic climax and philanthropic modernization trend comes from Mark Twain’s novel “The Gilded Age” published in 1873, describing the corruption and social tearing behind the flashy and extravagant bubbles of this era.
By the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, great changes had taken place in the American economy and society. In 1894, the industrial output value of the United States reached 95 billion US dollars, which was twice that of the United Kingdom and more than three times that of France in the same year.
At the same time, American society was undergoing a drastic transformation, rapidly transitioning from an agricultural society to an industrial society.The country basically completed industrialization and urbanization, and immigrants came in droves.
At that time, New York's population exceeded 1000 million, making it the world's first megacity.But the huge accumulation of material wealth has also caused increasingly serious social contradictions, social problems emerge in endlessly, and social conflicts intensify.
In the era of industrialization, the gap between the rich and the poor has intensified, and the top 1% of families control more than half of the country's wealth.At this time, the United States experienced the highest rate of industrial accidents.
贫困人群的主要问题有看病难、教育难、住房难等。1914年和1915年,纽约市记录在册的肺结核患者每年分别新增了3.5万和2.2万人,其中死亡人数8918人。
Their treatment cost a total of $68.7342 in public and private health funding.Children are denied educational opportunities and often leave school by the age of 14 to work and support their families.Poor people in New York also struggle to find suitable housing, often being kicked out by landlords due to low income and lack of security.
The turbulent reality has made American elites reflect, hoping to ease social conflicts through system repairs.Before Carnegie and Rockefeller became philanthropists, they were well-known "iron-fisted" and "cold-blooded" capitalists. The media called them "despicable" and "greedy".
It has to be said that their "transformation" was based on both social pressure and reflection on the times.
In the middle of the 19th century, the establishment of the Smithsonian Institution and others showed that its charity philosophy had shifted from simply helping the poor to solving social problems. In 1867, the United States had the first charitable foundation founded by Americans - the Peabody Education Fund.
Philanthropic foundations began to support the exploration of the root causes of social problems such as poverty, rather than funding the superficial and temporary relief of the problems themselves.
Under the background of this era, American modern charitable organizations began to rise. Since the 20s, American philanthropy has risen again.
During this period, Reaganomics achieved great success in the United States. Since January 1983, the economy has continued to grow for 1 months, with an average growth rate of 92%.
Although there was a brief economic crisis, the economy continued to grow for more than 1991 months starting in April 4. The unemployment rate dropped steadily and the inflation rate fell below 120%.
The booming economy has made the society more motivated to carry out charitable activities, and with the prosperity of liberalism and the help of new technologies, "upstarts" are constantly being born.
As a result, the number of charitable foundations has shown explosive growth. From 1980 to 1990, there were 4117 new family charitable foundations, surpassing the previous total of 3110.In the 90s, the rise was even more alarming, with 1990 new additions between 2000 and 13345.
Generally speaking, American philanthropy has a very deep social foundation and developed market mechanism, so it has achieved greater influence and more outstanding achievements.
From the perspective of the United States, the transformation of its philanthropic philosophy has played a pivotal role in the prosperity of philanthropy, and at the same time has fundamental significance for what we call "the third distribution".
The rise of philanthropic activities often occurs during the period of economic transformation. Some people "get rich first", while others fail to keep up. While the overall wealth of the society increases, there is a trend of unfair wealth distribution and polarization, which has triggered Internal conflict and rift.
Therefore, as a supplementary function of distribution, charitable activities have actually moved away from the early meaning of "emergency relief" and "rescue the poor" and turned to "salvation of the world".For the giants of the "Gilded Age", it is tantamount to a re-examination and re-cognition of the meaning of life and their own social value.
In fact, the same is true for society. It is a change in the concept of distribution and a change in values.
