2007 – A weekly feature of the New York Times Magazine is a column by Randy Cohen called “The Ethicist,” in which people raise ethical questions to which Cohen provides answers. The question below is from the column that appeared on April 4, 2003.
At my high school, various clubs and organizations
sponsor charity drives, asking students to bring in
money, food, and clothing. Some teachers offer
bonus points on tests and final averages as
incentives to participate. Some parents believe
that this sends a morally wrong message,
undermining the value of charity as a selfless act.
Is the exchange of donations for grades OK?
The practice of offering incentives for charitable acts is widespread, from school projects to fund drives by organizations such as public television stations, to federal income tax deductions for contributions to charities. In a well-written essay, develop a position on the ethics of offering incentives for charitable acts. Support your position with evidence from your reading, observation and/or experience.
