Summary
According to the Archbishop of Canterbury, people should get more involved in the lives of the less fortunate. This is especially meant for rich people, who could never know what it is like to be poor. In order to initiate this, the Archbishop suggests that there should be a new law which states that rich people have to do community service a couple of hours every year. The Archbishop is getting a lot of attention from the media, because he is performing the marriage service of Prince William and Kate. He seizes this oppertunity, and the upcoming Easter, to spread his message.

Opinion
I agree with the Archbishop. I think that there should be a law or a similar rule to make the rich people more involved. This could be an oppertunity for them to see what the day of a less fortunate person looks like. And I do not believe that only money can help the community to improve. Community service helps to people to make contact despite the social rank, money cannot. This message will hopefully bring more consideration and discussion of what can be done to help the less fortunate. Especially if well-known people could contribute to this idea.

I think this is a good idea, but I wonder if rich people have to, instead of wanting to help people could do this. As long as no one feels superior towards one another, I think this plan could work.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI do not agree. Forcing people to perform community work is never a good idea, since some people just don't have time because they work 24/7.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBesides, only targetting the 'rich' people will not be taken lightly be those who are rich. Instead they could try and make community service compulsary for everybody regardless of income.
