Sophie Scholl wrote that the yardstick inside every person is the "most
difficult yardstick." What do you think she meant? What standards did
she try to hold herself to? In a 250-word essay, describe Sophie's views
and relate them to your own. Use details from the text to support your
analysis.

Answer and Explanation:

Sophie believed that the ultra nationalist, socialist and Nazi concepts were built with the national and social parameters that each country presented. These parameters were easy to analyze and understand how these political philosophies were established. However, the citizens of each country had their own parameters to accept or refuse these philosophies and these parameters were difficult to be analyzed due to the diversity of thoughts and motives that promoted them. From this form, it is difficult to understand why each person decided to support these concepts.

Sophia, however, did not agree with the Nazi and ultra nationalist positions and began to question them, establishing a pattern of refusal to them and a position of regeijão and resistance to them.

Answer:

When Sophie Scholl writes, "We all have this yardstick inside ourselves." She is referring to the standards each induvial hold for themself. When she points out that the yardstick inside everyone is the "most difficult yardstick" she believes many people struggle to keep up and display their true morals and standards. Sophie's standard for herself was to think and do what was morally right, instead of just agreeing with the National Socialistic ideas that everyone was being forced to believe. Sophie is shown holding herself to this standard in the text, which states, "Though Sophie knew the correct National Socialistic answer to every question, she soon found herself unwilling to give her teachers the answers they wanted but she felt were wrong."

At first, Sophie believed Hitler would help Germany achieve greatness, but as she grew older her views changed. She thought that everyone was individual, and they shouldn't be forced to believe the same worldview. I agree with this viewpoint and think that people should have the right to think differently no matter race, religion, or gender as long as it does not hurt others. In Highschool, Sophie realizes that disagreeing with the the view being forced upon her will effect her education. Knowing this, Sophie changes to graduate. The text explains, "The threat worked: Worried now, Sophie buckled and studied hard to pas the Abitur, a difficult graduation test, in order to receive her diploma." As much as I stand by my views, like Sophie, I would not let my views affect with my education or quality of life.

Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True


A Speech to the Student Body of Evergreen High


[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.


[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."


[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.


[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).


[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.


[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.


How does the speaker's metaphor of a gold star in paragraph 3 support the purpose of the speech?


A) It challenges the audience to view voluntourism opportunities in a positive light.

B) It confirms the idea that voluntourism experiences look good on a college or career resume.

C) It emphasizes the selfish and superficial motivation behind voluntour opportunities.

D) It highlights the generous contribution that voluntours make to the areas they visit.
