Student A: In recent years, the topic “Why should rich people be encouraged to donate?” has been becoming the talk of an increasing number of people. As regards the reasons accounting for it, each airs his own views. From my own perspective, it is mainly a social responsibility for the rich to donate to help those who are in need. And what’s your opinion?
Student B: I hold some different ideas. To encourage the rich to donate may be in a large part due to the fact that only by narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor can we live a harmonious life. What the rich need is a guarantee of property right, while for the poor, what they concern may be basic living security.
Student A: I may not completely agree with you. As wealth comes from society, the rich are supposed to make it into full use to society. Thus, encouraging the rich to donate can be seen as an embodiment of social responsibility.
Student B: What you said makes sense to some extent. But in my point of view, it is also an expression of moral obligation for rich people to donate. In addition, some rich men can win recognition and reputation by means of donation.
