Should community service be a requirement, or should people want to do it ? There has been a recent debate in my sorority about community service. People did not fulfill their service hours. The only problem is I am starting to doubt why people are actually doing the service in the first place. I love the concept of community service and think it is a must have to be a well rounded, moral person. But in today's society kids must do it so they get into the college they want or they must complete hours when they are in trouble with the law. So what happened to the true meaning of community service?
I know that people must be exposed to community service in the first place, everyone has to start somewhere. The next step is where a sour taste is left in my mouth. It is not a trendy thing to do. I think it is great people are wanting to help others, but they should be doing it because they want to, not because it is cool or it is required. I am not sure how the problem will get fixed, but I find it a little ironic the means some people have for doing service work. At the end of the day it really doesn't matter because people are being helped, even if it is with the wrong intentions.
