Part Four: Writing an Argument

Introduction

At the beginning of this text, we discussed your purpose in life. Your “Why,” remember, is the reason that you are here–the thing that you are going to do to make the world a better place. In this last section of the text, you’re going to return to that idea by exploring one way people can make a difference in the world–through a non-profit organization. In general, a non-profit is an organization that was started because one person saw a need and decided to meet that need. Though not all problems solved by non-profits are social problems, many of them are. I hope that, through this last section, you not only learn about some people making a difference in the world, but that you are inspired to make a difference, yourself.
