Volunteers give untold hours toward causes that help and empower lives. Why people help others is important to know. There are at least four primary motives. The first is a eudaemonistic motive. The second motive is normal.
Societies have a responsibility to take care of the needy.
For people to coexist, governments create order and expectations of their people. In America, reporting an accident with injuries or a child abuse case is required by law for the protection of the vulnerable. Volunteerism has become normative for many corporations because of the moral rightness of helping the communities they reside in. Justice is the third motive. The Torah builds around the view of God as a just and righteous God.
