[00:04.12]Topic 12 Is the Donors’ List Acceptable? [00:07.98]Living in a world of change, [00:10.17]we can not predict what will happen in the future. [00:12.80]We probably will be reduced to helplessness [00:15.18]by unexpected accidents and natural disasters. [00:18.56]It will be greatly appreciated that [00:20.43]many unknown people will offer helping hands. [00:23.75]As usual, donors’ names and donations are made public [00:27.64]in bulletin board or in other forms [00:29.90]by donation proposal initiators. [00:32.14]It is believed that the juxtaposition of donors’ names [00:35.31]and their donation will make compliments to donors [00:38.08]and encourage more people to offer a helping hand. [00:41.69]For me, I think it is enough to tell the public [00:44.63]what donation has been collected by [00:46.51]initiators but donors’ names [00:50.24]and their donation should not be made public. [00:52.36]Firstly, [00:53.11]while people consider offering a helping hand, [00:55.72]they do not intentionally expect being rewarded. [00:59.89]When the donors’ list is made public, [01:01.75]the public will not only be impressed [01:03.75]by the benevolence of the donors, [01:05.55]they will also believe that [01:07.11]those donors are expecting compliments [01:09.42]from both the public and donation receivers. [01:12.22]In the case that there are donors [01:14.03]who donate much more money than average, [01:15.97]it is likely that the public will [01:17.65]accuse those generous donors of showing off, [01:20.41]instead of complimenting their benevolence [01:22.64]and generosity. [01:24.45]While people do not expect reward for their benevolence, [01:27.12]they do not expect accusation, either. [01:30.42]Besides, benevolence can not be measured by [01:32.93]the amount of donations. [01:34.92]The publication of donors’ list may direct people to [01:38.22]think otherwise. [01:39.40]Those who donate more money would be regarded more benevolent [01:43.19]than those who donate less. Anyway, [01:44.94]it is unfair to accuse those [01:47.77]who donate due amount in accord with their purse. [01:51.06]Secondly, the publication of donors’ list [01:53.80]may pose potential dangers to donors. [01:56.37]Generally speaking, people will donate [01:58.64]what is reasonable in line with [02:00.44]their financial situations. [02:02.68]Those who rank high in big companies [02:04.42]or run their own business usually are expected to [02:07.49]donate more money. However, [02:09.76]for many Chinese people, [02:11.21]making a name is not a good thing. [02:14.26]That is why business people always [02:16.31]keep silent when asked how much money [02:18.77]they have earned. One reason [02:19.95]for their being afraid of [02:22.45]making a name is that malicious people will become jealous. [02:25.88]In some extreme cases, [02:27.49]criminals may calculate the amount of [02:29.92]affordable ransom based [02:31.60]on the donation if they kidnap these wealthy donors. [02:35.22]Finally, what concerns donors most is [02:38.21]whether their donations can be timely [02:40.45]forwarded to those in need. [02:42.44]Given aforementioned negative impact of donors’ list, [02:45.24]it is not necessary to make a donors’ list.
