A. Instead of giving poor people real tools to help themselves out of their situation, philanthropy keeps them pacified with carefully measured hand-outs and the false hope that things will just magically get better one day. Thus pacified, the masses won't revolt.

Q. Is volunteering at a hospital a form of philanthropy?

A. The definition of philanthropy is any act done for the betterment of others without any expectation of reward or compensation. Volunteer work is a great way to be philanthropic, since you're not doing it to get paid. And even if you're doing it because community service looks good on a resume`, better you do it for that reason than not doing it at all.
