Episode 13 - 時間銀行 & 發展個人的社會價值 / Time banking and develop individual social value
黃國瑞博士來到節目中,啟發我們思考做志工做好事的動機,並介紹由Edgar Cahn 創建的時間銀行。他告訴我們如何以“賺取和花費”時間幣提供和接受幫助並落實社會公義,如何懷抱“不再有人被遺棄”的胸懷以及運用先服務再享受的模式,實踐“我為人人,人人為我”的理想,為什麼發展個人的社會價值是重要的,志工服務和時間銀行的差異,並鼓勵人人成為幫助者也接受幫助。時間銀行不但適用於各個年齡層,也有助弱勢族群發展個人社會價值並成為幫助者。
Dr. David Huang inspires us to rethink the motivation for volunteering and doing good deeds and introduces us to the time banking model created by Edgar Cahn. He talks about people can "earn" and "spend" time credits to give and receive help in the pursuit of a more equitable society. He discusses how to embrace the "no more throw-away people" mindset and how by paying it forward, the ideal of "I help others and others help me" can be actualized. He talks about why developing individual social value is crucial, the differences between a volunteering model and the time banking model, and encourages people to both receive help and be helpers themselves. Time banking is applicable to all age groups and can help the underprivileged develop individual social value to become helpers as well.
