To Understand Volunteerism You Must First Understand Love By Ngai-Leslie Scott

To understand volunteerism you must first understand love.

Today the powers that be force teens to volunteer 40 hrs or so in order to gain a high school diploma. Just like a marriage contract, marriage license and other statutory interventions into matters of the heart, I think it is unwise to force anyone to volunteer.

Including parolees forced to do community service or spend even more time in prison. Volunteerism should always be just that, VOLUNTARY.

If you force someone to volunteer, is that not called conscription?
