Is the modern world becoming a more charitable place to live in?

a more charitable place

The question suggests that the  earlier  days  of the  modern world  were  ones  where  there was  a lack of charity,  necessitating greater calls for and  concrete action  to make  the world a more  charitable place. The increase in charity must address some modern world problems societies are grappling with.

A coherent judgement of whether the modern world of today  is indeed a more  charitable place  to survive or thrive in as compared to before. The response would need to draw from a range of examples across the world given the global  scope of discussion and  the examples must be contemporary ones. These  illustrations  must drive  arguments  that   are  comparative  to  furnish  the   assessment  of  ‘more’  or  ‘not  more’.  The conceptual understanding of ‘charity’ must also be  sound.

It is expected that this essay will present a complete and comprehensive understanding of ‘charity’ and  what it comprises and show shifts in the  modern world that  have  helped/blocked the growth  of charitable attitudes and  behaviours. IT is important to explain the underlying factors  that could account for the emergence of more  or less charity in the world today. It is also important to focus on the key word ‘ to live in’ and  the reasons accounting for this trend. Don’t confuse ‘charity’ and  being ‘charitable’.
