American Idol and other music reality shows are increasingly becoming popularity contests rather than true talent competitions. Viewers are now voting more for likable contestants than purely based on vocal ability, as evidenced by some less talented singers advancing further in the shows thanks to their popularity. While these programs were originally intended to find truly gifted singers, a mix of social media, backstories, and fan bases may now have a greater influence on outcomes than pure vocal skill alone.

What is Philanthropy?
A Greek term which directly translated means "love of mankind." Philanthropy is an idea, event, or action that is done to better humanity and usually involves some sacrifice as opposed to being done for a profit motive.
The most conventional modern definition is "private initiatives, for public good, focusing on quality of life". This combines the social scientific aspect developed in the 20th century with the original humanistic tradition, and serves to contrast philanthropy with business (private initiatives for private good, focusing on material prosperity) and government (public initiatives for public good, focusing on law and order.
Acts of philanthropy include donating money to a charity, volunteering at a local shelter, or raising money to donate to cancer research.
Origins
Voluntary Associations
A culture of collaboration emerged. Colonial society was built by volunteers, or voluntary associations focusing on quality of life". They permeated American life, were a distinguishing feature of the American character and culture, and a key to American democracy. Americans, did not rely on others like government,aristocracy, or the church to solve their public problems; rather, they did it themselves, through voluntary associations, which is to say, philanthropy, which was characteristically democratic.
One of the first voluntary associations was also one of the first American governments: the Mayflower Compact of 1620. The Pilgrims declared that they solemnly and mutually, in the Presence of God and one another, combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation. The first corporation, Harvard College, was a philanthropic voluntary association created to train young men for the clergy.
As was typical in that period, American philanthropic associations had ideological dimensions. Three of the leading English colonies :Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Virginia were styled Commonwealths, which meant an ideal society in which all members contributed to the public good.
Benjamin Franklin
The most famous figure of American Philanthropy is undoubtedly Benjamin Franklin.Regarded in his own time as a model of American values, and especially of the Enlightenment in America, the key to his life was his Classical, and classically American, philanthropy. He self-consciously and purposefully oriented his life around volunteer public service. Even his political rival,油John Adams admitted that everybody considered him as "a friend to Humankind".
Philanthropy's contributions to American life
Famous foreign visitors and commentators on early American life noted the country's philanthropic spirit with some surprise as they observed Americans engaged in associations for social improvement.The philanthropic spirit and practical necessity of voluntary associations and their attendant collaborative culture moved west with the frontier thPhiladelphia Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

The document summarizes the various causes that led to the revolt of 1857 in India. The economic exploitation of India by the British hurt many sections of society, while the annexation of territories displaced rulers and angered the ruling classes. Social reforms introduced by the British were seen as interference in Indian customs. Growing Christian missionary activities and conversions caused religious concerns. The Indian soldiers faced poor treatment, low pay and the introduction of greased cartridges seen as offensive to Hindus and Muslims, serving as the immediate spark for the revolt to begin.Revolt of 1857

The document discusses the causes and importance of the Revolt of 1857 in India. It was the first major uprising against British rule and was caused by various political, economic, social, religious and military factors that led to growing discontent among the Indian population. The immediate cause was the introduction of new Enfield rifles that required biting cartridges greased with cow and pig fat, offending Hindu and Muslim religious sentiments. Though it expressed widespread opposition to colonial rule, the revolt ultimately failed due to lack of coordination, leadership and participation.The revolt of 1857
