Sob Stories

To find out the differences between Beck’s advocacy from that of the AVODAH alumni, we must first look at how AVODAH runs. First of all AVODAH is a Jewish organization, that targets Jewish individuals in their 20s. This filter’s out potential volunteers to the organization, from people of different religions to Jews that are not in their 20s. This shows that the main focus of this organization is not the good will of people but the good will of young Jews. I am not demining the AVODAH cause, I state that I am impartial to this subject and only attacking it because of class. Also the length of the term, one year as a full-time employees in local non-profit organizations, could deter volunteers who just want to volunteer some of their time or volunteers who can’t stay the whole year. The year stay will form “a community of people making a connection between social activism and Jewish life.” is plausible in the situation where a group of people live together, just like college, and create friendships. Also the same goal in helping other will only strengthen and accelerate the bonding.
Beck’s advocacy is a call for justice. Her no holds style of promoting Public Citizen to stop the Clinton Administration trade agreement is more aggressive than AVODAH. The story first and info embedded style is strikingly professional, and more effective in delivering ethos to the reader. My only vice to this is that it is very long and it takes awhile to find all the information and basics unlike AVODAH were it is all on the first page.
