The Tyee — What Makes Us Give? on 2009-07-25
- What Makes Us Give?
- How do you create compassion? What does it take to make us help those in need? New York Times reporter Nicholas Kristof reads the scientific research, and the news isn't exactly encouraging.

- - Charles Annenberg Weingarten has similar goals, but he takes a slightly different tack. He wants to make us care about people like Nicholas Kristof, so we might become more like him. He wants to inspire us by showing us what's possible, by showing us good things where we least expect them. "I try to replace fear with trust."
  - Annenberg Weingarten, who will speak and show some of his own short films at the VanCity Theatre on Thursday, June 11, in conjunction with a screening of Reporter, recently visited Darfur. He said the six o'clock news gives us no meaningful sense of the place. "The Darfur I saw and the Darfur you see are two different Darfurs." Sure, the area is wracked by conflict. "War is a powerful business model." But despite the distress, Annenberg Weingarten said, "the place that's supposed to be the scariest was actually the most welcoming. They have nothing, but they live like they have everything."
