Quote #1:
Gathering a crew, they proceeded to accomplish their goal. “And a visual statement was the thing that came to mind immediately. Like, could we just make something that looks nice so that if people look at the place and they already know that they are going to dislike it, and all of a sudden, they’re confronted with something beautiful? And that would kind of change their minds.” With just a coat of paint, they created a beautiful mural of a boy flying a kite.
Revision #1:
With the help from the crew they organized, they began painting these buildings. Urhahn then proceeded to state, “And a visual statement was the thing that came to mind immediately. Like, could we just make something that looks nice so that if people look at the place and they already know that they are going to dislike it, and all of a sudden, they’re confronted with something beautiful?”(54 sec). Koolhass and Urhahn completed a beautiful mural of a boy flying a kite. This mural, painted on many different buildings brought happiness to not only the ones who created it but the citizens who get to admire it for as long as it is there.
Quote #2:
Although this may be helping as well, it will not solve all of the issues we have occurring in this world. “This is often what EA comes down to: working hard to earn money and then giving as much of it as you can to the needy. Good deeds come in many forms, of course, and there are other ways of making a difference. But the gauntlet that EA throws down is simply this: does your preferred good deed make as much of a difference as simply handing over the money? If not, how good a deed is it really?” Money is not the only solution to helping end world suffering.
Revision #2:
Southan and the EA’s have clashing opinions but Southan states himself, “This is often what EA comes down to: working hard to earn money and then giving as much of it as you can to the needy. Good deeds come in many forms, of course, and there are other ways of making a difference. But the gauntlet that EA throws down is simply this: does your preferred good deed make as much of a difference as simply handing over the money? If not, how good a deed is it really?”(2). Good deeds are done in many different ways but money isn’t the only thing that could possibly make a change. Although this is still considered helping and a good deed, it will not solve all of the issues we have occurring in this world.
