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, how would you use it to help others?
I agree that with Carnegie that the rich should have give the money to the others because keeping the money when you die is just useless so I think that they should just the money away.If I had millions of dollars, I would donate it to build shelter for the poors and give some money to the some they could survive and buy food to eat. I think that i should help people who are less fortunate then me because I feel bad for people and because many children had to work and not get education so I would try to help them.

how is it useless when you die. You can give it to your children or family.

I agree with Carnegie because if you are rich then you should be able to help others. If I was rich I would use my millions to help the less fortunate. If I lived in a mansion I would let orphans live in the house and I would sleep in the foster house. I would wake up before dawn while no one is awake and I would cook for the people and children in the house. Just because I am rich does not mean I have to be snotty about it. When I die I am leaving all my money to the orphans.

I do agree with Carnegie's obligation.There is a lot of people that are poor.If the rich give away some of their money it will be gracious. Some rich people have million and billions of dollars. If they give away some of their money it won't hurt them. They cant bring their riches with them into their grave.If I had a millions of dollars i would use it to buy a house and use the rest of it on college funds.I would feel good if
ReplyDeletei gave some money to the poor.
ashar akhtar 814
DeleteWhy not give it to the next generation?
DeleteI disagree with the idea that when a rich man dies with a lot of money. This is beacuse the rich man may not want to donate but he did a lot of good things other than donating. This way the rich man may not die of disgrace. Also I think that the only rich type of person that should be called a disgrace should be a rich person who spent money only on him/her self.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a million dollars I would spend a one fourths of it on helping people and donating. Another fourth of it will go to a good sized house (not a mansion. Way to big for me). Then the rest i will spend it on food, water, health, clothing, and entertainment. If i have any money left over, I'll just give it to the next generationto use.
Yes i agree with Carnegie idea that the rich should have an obligation to help the poor because the rich have a lot of money and donating a little bit wont hurt them at all.The rich should be happy and be greatful for what they have and should give the poor who actually need the money to live.If I had a million dollar first i would buy what i actually need not want.Then i would like to buy a nice house and things for my parents and siblings.Yes i would give some portion of my money to the poor because if no ones gives them money they probably die.So my little bit of money that i "sacrifice" to save a live.

DeleteI do agree with Carnegie that the rich should responsible for helping the poor, since it is unfair that small portion of people control more money that the majorities in the world. If I have millions of dollars,I will just throw it away. I feel that I should help others who were less fortunate than myself, no reason, just for fun.

DeleteI agree with Carnegie that the rich have an obligation to help others because some people have a kind heart and will help other people by finding them a job, giving them a place to live, and get new clothes. But not all people are like that. Some people are selfish and mean. They don't use their money to help others who are poor and have no money. It's not fair that some people get to live in wealthyness and some people are living in poorness. If I had millions of dollars, I would use it to help people who need money and are poor. I feel that I should help others less fortunate than me because I'm lucky that my father has a job and earns salary to help my sister, my mom, and me buy whatever we need. But some people are less fortunate. I wish that if my family were rich and my father gave me hundreds of dollars for my allowance, I would use it to help other people.

I agree with Carnegie's idea. The rich should have an obligation to help someone less fortunate. If I had a million dollars, I would use the money for charity. You can live happily with ten million dollars. But a large margin of it will not be used for important needs. This extra money is helpful for the poor to live a decent life.

And of cause if you keeping the money when you died it’s useless .If I had millions of dollars I would help the poor people .First, they don’t money to support themselves and can’t read or write they need education.

i agree with Carnegie that rich have an obligation to help others because there are people who need the money more then them they use to buy fancy clothes when other don't even have clothes to wear.If i had millions dollar i would give two third to the people who need them because with the money they can learn and buy clothes and get a job.i will feel that i should help the other who have less fortunate but not if the only have a little lesser only because if the have only a little lesser that means that they have the ability to earn money just not as much but who have not much money i will help because they need it more than me.

ReplyDeleteFirst Class:AN AWFUL IDEA, because I worked hard for this, not them.
Second Class:I'm not going to get the money anyway,so it's NONE OF MY BUSINESS.
Third Class:A WONDERFUL IDEA, because I need money.
So, if I had millions of dollar, I would donate some of it to help others who needs it to survive,because for some of them, the money can save their life, they need the money for cloth and foods. While, I'm just going to spend the rest of it to get my life.

DeleteI disagree with that rich have responsibility to help other, that's because, even though people have to help each others, but, Carnegie earn his money by himself,therefore, he don't have any responsibility to give his money to other that is not related to him. If I have millions dollars, then I would save my money in the bank and I would buy a house for my mom. I feel that, it depends in who am I giving the money to.

I agree with Andrew Carnegie's opinion, because if you have so much money and it's just sitting there, because you don't have any thing to spend it on, than you should spend it for good of people. For example, giving to charity and schools. There is no point in having s much money if you don't use it If I was rich I would give have of my money to charity, because I don't spend it, and if I don't spend it, I don't need it.

DeleteI agree with Carnegie that the rich have an obligation to help others because before they got rich they could be poor.Everyone started out differently from what they turn out to be and we should help each other out on the way.Just because they are poor that doesn't mean they can't become successful in the future.If i had millions of dollars i would first buy a big mansion for my family to live in, then if i have extra money i would donate it to public libraries because some libraries need help in money to get new books for the children to read.I feel that i should help other less fortunate than me because they aren't as luck as me to get the money i have,and lending someone a hand is a really nice thing to do.In many country a lot of people are starving because they don't have enough food to eat.For example people living in Africa are so poor that they don't have clothes to wear and food to eat.They don't even have a house to live too.We should help those people that really needs our help.Sharing is caring.Share the kindness to everyone even if its a little.

DeleteI agree with Carnegie because if rich helps the poor then the world would be more peaceful. Many suffer with the lack of money so if the rich help the poor then the poor won;t have to suffer as much. If i were to have millions of dollars I'd give away most of them to the one who need the money a lot. I think we should help who has less fortunate than us because keeping the money yourself after you die all the money won't go with you. Instead of putting all the money to waste you can use it to help others who need them.

If i had millions of dollars myself i would help the poor and donate to them because they are in need of help. Also, i would want the same to happen to me if i were a very poor man. I do feel that the rich should support others because whats the point of keeping the money when you die?

ReplyDeleteI agree with Carnegie that the rich have the obligation to help others because it's up to you what you wanted to do if you were rich to help others. The reason why I think this way is because it really is none of other people's concern of what he/she wants to do with their money at all since it's their own money. If I had millions of dollars, I would use it for my family because they are in China and the things that they sell in China is expensive so I would give my money to my family and let them go on trips worldwide. Or, I would bring them outside from their hometown and bring them to America. I would feel that I should help others less fortunate than me because it's heart breaking where you get to enjoy your youth and have normal lives when others are just homeless and are suffering from diseases without anyone to help them.

So it is better to help someone and give them money than help no one and die with all of your money

In my opinion, I agree with Carnegie that the rich have and obligation to help others.It is because what would you want to do with the money when you die? what would you want to do if a girl/boy only be your boyfriend/Girlfriend just for money? Also, if you have that much money, there will be a huge possibility that you will get robbed one day. The rich should give some money to others because they should just give money to them for kindness. Also, probably before the rich got rich,they might be even poor.If i had a million dollars, i would buy a house first. Then, donate some to the homeless shelter, the animal shelter. And for the rest of the money, i would keep half and give them to my family to use. I feel that i should help other less fortunate than me because they might not have as much luck as i does to get rich. Also, poors need money. They need to live, eat , and sleep too. They are human too. Whats the point of having that much money?

ReplyDeletei disagree with carnegie because its their on money. they earned it.Its their money and they can do anything they want to do with it. it would be nice for them to help people but some people are not like that. people who are rich earned their own money by their self and should do whatever they want with it.

DeleteI totally agree with you Chaniece. Some people might think I am selfish but I DID rightfully earn that money because of my hardwork. If you are poor then that probably meant that you did not work hard enough in life and now you need other people to support you. I should have the right to use my money however I like.
i agree with Carneige that money should be given to others. If you worked hard your entire life you'll need need to pass down your money or else your effort wouldn't pay off. If i had millions of dollars i would pass my money down and get the extra money i probably would need to donate for the homeless people.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I do believe that it is an obligation to help others if you are rich but I would first save it for my family. I understand that this may sound selfish but family is my first priority. I would probably write a will saying that I would give half my money to family and the rest I would use it to help others. We need to help others because if someone is poor and they don't have money but you do then you have to help them out because what are you going to do with the money when you already have everything that you have ever wanted? If I had a million dollars I would use it for the poor. Since they don't have food or shelter I would want to use my money to provide that for them. I would also want to use my money to help find a cure for cancer.
I do agree with Carnegie because the rich should help the less fortunate.Our money will be all waste if we don't help others with that.If I had millions of dollars,I would definitely use it to help others by donating or by giving them their daily needs.I would be glad to do that as I believe,if I can enjoy a better life, so why others can't.

ReplyDeletei agree with carnegie, that the rich have an obligation to help others because, if they die, the money goes to waste,meanwhile it couldve helped many people . Karennn 803
ReplyDeleteI agree with Carnegie that the rich have an obligation to help others. Just because you have a greater opportunity, doesn't mean you shouldn't care about others. Everyone has feelings. If someone died with a million dollars without using them, it is just a waste of the time. Thinking about others instead of themselves shows that they care about others.
ReplyDeleteIf i had the chance to have a million dollars and do something with it, i would donate them to charities, cure cancer, help the homeless and help the unfortunate people. Why waste the money to yourself if you can help others? It would be such a shame if i didn't use my money on others

ReplyDeleteI agree with Carnegie's idea that a rich person should help the ones who need it.A man who died rich with all of his money and gave nothing to poor is a disgrace to all who have worked hard and gave something to the poor.If you are rich it is your job to give to the poor because you have more than you need you should give it to the poor because they need it.If I have millions of dollars I would give it to the developing nations so that they can become a great nation.I would also help the poor because I would not want to be where they are and to get them out of there I would help them to get homes and get them in a better life and to forget about the past and focus on what's coming next in their life.I would open up places to get people out of the past and become better people like rehabs.I would help people in every way I can
I agree with Carnegie's reasoning on trying to help others. Yes you can live in luxury but while others still try to make a decent living while you do. I would donate most of my fortune to different kinds of charities. I'll only give some of my money to my family if they deserve it and know they'll make good use of it. Ashlyn Mendoza 803

ReplyDeleteI do not think wealthy people must give away their money to the less fortunate. It would be wonderful if they did, but they do not have to.If you made yourself a fortune it is your choice what is done with that fortune. I am not saying that they shouldn't give their money, I am saying that they do not have an obligation to give their money.
i agree with carnegie's idea. to help other people.if i got one million dollar and ill give the money to the schools and the poor people help them buy food give them water and get a place for them to live. carnegie's idea is a very good idea. tingfeng li,jia jun lin 813
ReplyDeleteI agree with Carnegie that the rich have an obligation to help others Everyone one faces hardships in their lives, even the rich so the rich people should help the poor because they know how it feels to have no one by their side.If I had a millions of dollars i would give away my money to help others. I would feel I should help the others because i would become popular and when i become a politician i would get more votes

I disagree with Andrews sppech because a man who almost spent his whole life to make this much money why should he spent this miney by giving others. He can give this money to his wife or his children.If i got millions of dollars i would help the my countrys people because in my country there is lack of hospitals and education.There is poverty everywhere in my country.Our country is full of corruption so poor people don`t get their rights.So want to help them my medical activities as well as education

ReplyDeletei agree with Carnegie because he's helping people. if i have million dollar i will help the poor people by buying food for them. Carnegie help them with million dollar and he died with this. we should help poor people. maybe they will have good talent then rich people. i will give them house to live.
i agree to the Carnegie's of the rich people should help other people because if you were once the poor people or the hard worker and now you become a rich man and that make you forgot the way how you got up this much then maybe you should not be a rich man. if i had a million dollar i will try to make the money more and more than i will have a better chance to help more people.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Carnegie that the rich have an obligation to help others because when you died with a million dollars and you can't use that it just waste it and if you give money to the people that who need help it will be a good thing and it will let more peole to get better life.
If you have a million dollar I will use it to help the people that need help and i also will use the money the support my family to have a better life
i agree with Carnagie's reasoning to help other people that are unfortunate. They need to help others because they need to be fair to others. If i had a millions of dollars i will help out my family or might help out people that need help.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion,I agree with Carnegie that the rich have an obligation to help others because there have lot of people who need money to survive and didn't have enough money for their family.Many poor people that did not have money,they need to sent their child to work.That is why so many child work in factories.Andrew Carnegie's idea help many poor people he didn't like other rich people only use their money for themself and their family,they didn't use their money to help poor people.Carnegie want to gave money and help people who need help and need money for their family.He work very hard and make money and to help people who need help after he want when he died he gave his money to people who need help,his idea is helpful and kind he does not like other rich people only think about himself.
I agree and disagree with Carnegie's reasoning to give away their richest. i agree because if they don't give their money other people will starve and maybe can't afford homes. Sometime maybe their children or their grandchildren will go crazy and use for dumb stuff. I disagree because why give away their money they earned to people who did nothing. If i had million dollar i would give 1/4 or 1/6 of money to the poor. Davlatbek Hushvaktov 813
ReplyDeletei agree with carnegie's because it try to help people who have no more money i had million dollars i give enough money who is poor and i give my family some amount of money.if i have lot of money and i die without give money anybody so,my all money waste.the meanwhile could have helped many people. Faisal 813
ReplyDeletei agree with Carnegie's that the rich have an obligation to help others because you can't bring the money with you when you're dead,you should write a letter and give the money to the people who actually need the money or give to your family.A lot of people work so hard so they are very rich.but if you dead ,you don't need money anymore.so it is a good chioce to help poor people.If i have millions dollar,i would probably donate the money to the homeless,or some people that very need a help.Also,i will build a school ,that all poor students have place to learn how to read and write.And i will give half of moneys to my family.
