Visual Racism

The ethics of conventional representations of the developing world in charity fundraising and photojournalism have been increasingly questioned. Van Leeuwen‘s (2000) social semiotic model of analysis of visual racism, applied to a famine image, reveals strategies for symbolically representing otherness that perpetuate a naturalized "Western rescuer/developing world victim" narrative. Respondent interviews demonstrate that such "poverty porn" produces viewer apathy, while an alternative representation depicting self-determination evokes a charitable response. Elliott‘s (2003) ethical framework is used to judge the harm of conventional representations. The results, while tentative, suggest worth in expanding the study in light of implications for represented persons, the viewer, and Canadian society. In the meantime, image producers and distributors must become visually literate to avoid using harmful images.

Charity Fundraising

Numerous non-profit driven establishments depend on volunteers to help achieve their administrative targets. Despite the fact that volunteers work side-by-side or now and again substitute representatives in delivering services, inputting volunteer work into non-profit ventures of delivering services presents remarkable difficulties. Understanding these difficulties provides a significant fundamental building step in comprehending the influence these challenges have on service developmental plans and operations when utilizing volunteers. In this study, the paper brings forward a Charity Fundraising Information System (CFIS) framework and presents the modelling and evaluation of a plan and operational variables applicable to volunteer fulfilment in non-profit driven organizations. Discoveries indicate that fulfilled volunteers are bound to stay longer with the same establishment, give monetarily to the non-profit driven organization, and prescribe the volunteer involvement to other people. Every one of these results guarantees the continuous sustenance of the non-profit driven establishment.
