"Make That Change"

Orphanages; are they really a home for the many children that inhabit them? Do they in fact need to be changed for the better? All of a these questions have arisen in the past few months; yet they haven’t been solved. When so many people have been complaining that orphanages are terrible places for children, they sure haven’t tried to do anything to change that. They write about it, but it doesn’t change how things are. If you feel something needs to be changed, you have to take action. You can’t be the one to sit back and wait for someone else to start it. You are the beginning in many great things and have the chance to change anything for the better. If we didn’t sit back and hope someone, someday would try to do something about orphanages imagine the things they could do, the way they could help the children, and the better places they would become.

All people want to do is get rid of orphanages because they aren’t as effective as a normal house or home. Many believe they aren’t the “best” places for a child to reside. But how can they be better when we only look at them as if they are nothing; and can’t become anything? People never see the good anymore. When was the last time you heard something good about an orphanage compared to something bad? Orphanages aren’t the “best” for children because people only see the bad and don’t try to improve them! People have put this terrible image into society’s head that orphanages are cruel and don’t help their children. However; if you were to take a look at what they are doing yourself, you would see the wonders they can do for many.

The fact is we can change society’s view by being open-minded and first learning what orphanages do for children. Don’t just assume things until you have done the research and studied it out. Put yourself in the place of these orphans. How do you think they would feel about being given a place to live, when all they were good enough before was the streets? How do you feel when you are given a second chance? It’s the same feeling; these kids are being given a second chance to become the best they can be.

If you believe that orphanages have good intentions, then try to help improve their circumstances. Maybe donate money to help provide more staff, a better education, and even better activities for the children. Volunteer at one; there are more orphanages around you than you realize. There are even opportunities for people to volunteer in foreign country orphanages. These are some ways to show society the good orphanages provide, and to show that with everyone’s help they can even be improved for the better. Some people have already donated and volunteered. If someone is willing to take the time or spend the money on bettering orphanages, then it is obviously needed and something of great worth.

An Orphanages Cause

Orphanages provide homes for children. The number of children on the street is dwindling due to the fact that orphanages give them a place to stay. While staying in the orphanage these children are given a better chance to excel in life. They have a greater chance of finding a home; whether it is by adoption or just simply living at the orphanage. Orphanages help homeless children receive things they cannot obtain on their own; they give children education, friends, hope, and love.

If people would just see the good that orphanages can do, could you imagine how much better they could become? People might actually take the time to think about them and help better them in many ways. If people were able to see the good in them and let others know about it, orphanages repetition would improve. Orphanages seem to be labeled as terrible; therefore most view them that way. Labeling is a hard obstacle to overcome. So if one person was to try and look past the label that has been placed on them they would see the good that they do for many around the world.

Sparking an Interest

I’ve noticed that with every article they have a bolded title that captures your attention. It’s something that sparks interest and makes you wonder what they are talking about, so you’ll want to read it. A good title is very important because it is what motivates someone to read what you’ve wrote. If you have a lame title, people will assume that you have a lame paper. The writers also make the first or second sentence of the paper something clever to make the audience enjoy his/her writing style and want to continue reading. After that they go straight into what they will be talking about. This technique is good because we don’t have long attention spans and it quickly obtains the readers’ focus. Another tool they use is lots of statistics and true stories to back up their claim. It almost seems that with the stories they try to pick the worst or most touching ones. Also, just like the articles we read in class, they give a easy to see reasons why they have that opinion. Each reason connects with the next, so you want to keep reading. Finally, their ending is very forward. They want to leave an impression on the audience because the ending is what a reader will remember the most. A good beginning catches the readers’ attention, while a great ending leaves them thinking about what was written and that they enjoyed the paper.
