Andrew Carnegie's "Gospel of Wealth"


Andrew Carnegie made a fortune in the steel industry and went on to give a good deal of it away. In an 1889 speech, "The Gospel of Wealth," Carnegie proclaimed that the rich had a responsibility to use their money to help others. He said, "The man who dies . . . rich dies disgraced."
Do you agree with Carnegie that the rich have an obligation to help others? Explain your reasons. If you had millions of dollars, what would you do with it? Would you feel you should help others less fortunate than you? Give reasons for your answer

    1. Abdullah your response to the question needs be more than just merely repeating the question put in front of you. You need to formulate and opinion on the subject and back it up with specific facts.

  3. I agree with carnegie because if you have alot of money you should be using it for useful reasons instead of using it for stuff that doesn't matter, but anyway theres a difference between being rich and being wealthy, so if you're rich you're gonna use up all your money one day, so wealthy people should be helping people because they're gonna have money all their life. Rich people or wealthy people get more respect then the poor people and the middle class people, they should be donating and helping people. If I had millions of dollars I would help people because I don't like seeing less fortunate people struggling, plus I see homeless people everywhere I go now, but some of the homeless people have places to stay and they just use their money for drugs so I'd be specific of who I'd pick to help. - VIA ASHLEYYYYYYYY

    1. I agree with the statement you mention because apparently if you have the money you will use the money anyway. Donating money to the person in need worth it than using it all by yourself.

    2. i agree because if you only use your money for yourself, then it's like using money for only one person and it means you're not helping others.it'll be a pleasure to help others

    3. i agree because you should use your money in good causes rather than using it in things that are not necessary.

  6. I agree with Carnegie that the rich have an responsibility to help others. Rich can help people and give people the benefit of life. If I had millions of dollars I will kept some for myself and donate the rest of the money to the people in need of them. I feel I should help others that have less money because using the money wisely can make you a better person -Andy Jiang (812)

  7. I agree with Carnegie because the rich people are wealthy and they should share it to the world, selfishness and greediness is bad.

  9. Yes i agree with Carnegie because its not fair how the rich have all this money and not do anything with it or spend it on worthless things. If i had a million of dollars I would give to the less fortune because there's alot of money that i would probably have left after I spend it and it wouldn't hurt to give some money to people who really need it.

    1. I agree with you because even if spending all that money for yourself, you would have some leftovers that you probably don't really know what else to do with it after you have everything you already needed. It would really help the poor people a lot because they also dream of having stuff they don't have.

  12. I agree with Carnegie that the rich have an obligation to help others.First, if the rich person helps the people that needs money more, he should give it to the people that really needs it.If I had millions of dollars, I would help out the people that is needed like when they are really poor and needs some food or drink.I would help them out because even if I had all that money for myself, it wouldn't do any good like the nation.

No i don't agree because you should help the poor and the weak people so they can live on,everyone should have the right to live freely and happily .If i have millions of dollars i would get a house .I feel i should help others that have less money because they have a poor family and they won't last for long.(No no estoy de acuerdo, porque usted debe ayudar a los pobres y los débiles para que puedan vivir, todo el mundo debería tener el derecho a vivir libremente y felizmente .Si tengo millones de dólares que obtendría una casa .I siento que debo ayudar otros que tienen menos dinero porque tienen una familia pobre y no van a durar por mucho tiempo .)~Alex Lei~812

And it's basically on their decision, and it's part of their lives. If i ever had millions of dollars , what i would do with it is give some money to charities, and build a new hospitals ,and help my families. And save money for the future. I would help other people, because would make me happy and others happy :) .

  20. The reason why its an obligation that rich people help the less fortune because the rich people spend money on junk and not help people.If i had money i would help the ones in need and and help their in the needs.The reason why i would help because the less needed dont have enough money to help their family or there self.

    I agree with Carnegie that the rich have an obligation to help others because they are the people that have and make to money. To add on, they don't only make money but they make a great amount of money to help at least one person. If I had millions of dollars, I would give half of my money to the less fortunate than myself because most the rich had died with money still in their banks. On the other hand, the poor had die before their time due lack of supplies (no money or lack of money caused this) or natural causes.

Helping others is always a good thing to do. if you are rich than u should try to spread the wealth for not only yourself and your family but with the people living in poverty.

    I agree with Carnegie that the rich people have an obligation to help people because if you have a million dollars, what's the point of wasting all for yourself? The rich should help the poors on what they need and it won't impact them that much. If you have a lot of money, it's good to help others since they live in the same community but much worse conditions.If I have a million dollars, I would help donate money to those who needs help and help others with their needs. I think I help others less fortunate than you since it doesnt impact me that much and its nice to help others and you may get good things back.

  54. I agree with Carnegie that the rich an obligation to help poor peoples because, there are many people and children who is suffering from hunger and there are some rich people who are throwing their foods away... so if they help the poor people then the poor can survive they don't have to die from not having place to live and no food and no money. If I had millions of dollars, i would use it to help poor people because, it will make them happy so which make me happy too. Also, I would help them because it could save some people from dying.

  55. i think rich people have an obligation to help the people less fortunate than them. they should because they the less fortunate might not have a place to live or have any parents to take care of them and they could die.if i had a million dollars i would help the less forunate because i dont like seeing people out on the street.it also makes me feel bad to see people not take care of the less fortunate and just leave them be without helping them. if i were to be living on my own i would probably allowed them to go to my house and stay there. it will less the suffering of one person. if there is more than one i would probably help them all instead of just helping on because they had a much harder life than i had. me helping someone just makes me feel more better than not giving any to the less fortunate. it just feels like the right thing to do than keeping all the money to yourself.

  56. I agree with Carnegie because when you get a lot of money ,that is not all own by you . Other had been help you work to earn that much money . So , when you become rich , you should give part of money to help others .

  57. I agree with Andrew Carnegie that rich people should use their money to help other,because sharing is caring. Humans and humans are family , they should help poor others and some rich people just born in rich family but some not , they were born in poor families, which make they life hard. So rich people should help poor peoples not giving all moneys to other, but help the and support them. If I have a million dollar, I would use these money to support poor peoples and help them. but at least I will save some money for my self.

  60. agree with carnegie that the rich should obligate into helping others. what is the point of having so much money without being to spend it out, might as well use it to help others. the more that is fortunate the better the world. letting yourself be the only fortunate one and still wanting more is pure greed and selfisness. if i had a million dollars i would use it to support others as well, if i already have a roof above my head and food to eat than what is the point of getting more all for myself, others should feel the same way i do.

If I have million dollars, sure, I cannot get poor people all of this money, but, I will give out some of this money, because they have a hard life, so I have to have help them, on other hand, I should leaf some of money, cause I need live too.

    1. I disagree with you! First of all, those poor people are so bad! They just sit there doing nothing and want us, the rich people, to give them money! That's not fair! So we shouldn't give them the money!

  63. I agree with Carnegie that rich have an obligation to others who don't have such fortunate like you. For instance, people who have disability cannot do things that normal people can do. Also, sharing your wealth with others can fulfill your heart with jubilation. If I have millions of dollar, I will give part of my money to charity because they can use the money to cure many people. Also, I will give my money to orphanage because nobody can take care of them as they're at age of 18. So, they can use these money to achieve their goals for future.

    I agreed with Andrew Carnegie because if we have that much money we should spend some on others instead of spending it all on our self. If we help others they might help us in the future when we have a difficult situation.

Also not all the money you earn are make by your self part of it are olso others.if i have million of dollars i will use half of my money to help others because some of them help me to get rich and i want to make them having a better life.also,sharing is caring.

  70. I disagree with Carnegie because it's not fair that I give my hard-earned money to those non fortune people. They should work hard their self, and try to earn the money.

Also, I will give my money to orphanage because nobody can take care of them as they're at age of 18.

  72. Yes, i agree with Carnegie that the rich have an obligation to help others because after they die they have noting to do with the money but if they help poor they did something good with their money and they save someone life instead of waste it. If you had millions of dollars, i will help myself first if I have money left then I will give it to poor. I feel i should help others less fortunate than i if i have everything I need.

  89. (Atifah Osrat)- I agree with Carnegie because during this period of time, a lot of families were in need of money. And, if one is rich, they shouldn't be selfish and greedy. They shouldn't keep the money to themselves. The person should distribute his or her money to the people in need because even if it's a little money, the family would be very grateful. If I ever had a million dollars, I would DEFINITELY share it and give donations to important fundraisers that have a good purpose. For example, cancer research, animals, or families in need from all over the world.

  100. (Raven Parker 811) I agree with Carnegie because it's not only a generous thing to do, but it's also giving the poor a chance to live. Without money, you can't purchase food, a home, or anything you may need. If I had a million dollars, I'd give at least three quarters of it away to the poor, possibly even more than that. If I have a chance to live, so should everyone else.

If we have enough money to feed ourselves and 50 other people than we have enough to help those who suffer. Being rich is one thing knowing you could wake up in the morning not having to worry about hunger, or trying to feed your family, or trying to look for a job. However, there are people out there like that who suffer from hunger, who tries to afford clothes. If we cannot help those in need then who are we?
