These days, people have been suffering from the virus called COVID-19 all over the world. In some countries, people have been in quarantine where they could not easily get a toilet paper and buy some provisions which they could eat during the quarantine. Even if the country people live does not urge people to be in the quarantine, the world's economy has been becoming worse over time, so many people got to desperately need helps.
For instance, in Chicago, 80 percentage of all infectees are composed of black people, which means
there are obviously people who are underprivileged even during the occurence of the pandemic. Moreover, it could be hard for people to get helps only because it would be embarrassing and they would be afraid of rejecting to ask for assistance. In this op-ed, the writer entrenches that people should offer ahead a help to people who are in need.
In this situation, people should not hesitate to request for help, as the writer says. However, getting a reject would always be the last thing people want, which is understandable. Therefore, people also should suggest other people to receive helps and should not think that being quiet would not mean that people do not need any helps.
This solution would be helpful for a lot of people. I fully agree with the writer's perspective. Exchanging helps would be a pleasure to people who have been under pandemic and be tired of this. For givers, offering helps would heighten self-esteem as well as happiness. For receivers, getting helps would enhance the quality of lives, which would resolve desperate problems immediately.
