Ice Bucket Challenge

So I was nominated for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

In this age, it’s important to keep an altruistic stance towards others. From what I have gathered, the Challenge sparked an increase in donations well over $ 100 million world wide towards the goal of funding ALS research. With that, we can call the Challenge an explicit success in activating a large group in contributing towards a specific goal.

However, I can’t be blind towards some of the criticisms that have been raised against the Challenge. Despite it’s success, the Challenge is not necessarily the most effective display of altruism.
