Andrew Carnegie, a self made millionaire stated “the man who dies thus rich dies disgrace” (Carnegie). The inspiration came from his belief that men like him held a great responsibility to contribute their wealth for the good of mankind.

His last options was giving it back to the community for the good of people during their lifetime however not in the form of “ handouts”. Carnegie’s statement about millionaires sharing their wealth to society, in the form of libraries for example, instead of handouts is his strongest point in…

A great example of this comes from two paragraphs discussing her father’s first job at a blood bank. The job is temporary, as he’s trying to get official certification to be a…
