The Ice Bucket Challenge has been prevailing among the world.The purpose of it is to raise people’s awareness for the disease ALS and raise money to fight against it.Proponents, represented by the ALS Association, claim that it is beneficial and praiseworthy.However, social media claims that the challenge wastes plenty of water.According to China’s ministry for civil affairs , the event has become a form of entertainment or commercial advertisement.Besides,doctors deem that the challenge does harm to one’s body.

Personally,i deem that the event is advantageous.Firstly, no one can deny the fact that the practice has benefited patients of ALS.The ALS has received an astonishing 4 million dollars in donations compared with 1.2 million dollars during the same time period last year.I believe if any company and nonprofit had all of the public relation dollars in the world to come up with the event,they will make a big difference.People who have never heard of the ALS are now engaged in the fight to find treatments and a cure for it.In addition,the event has raised public awareness and a major focus of the organization.people can learn about the disease and pay attention to it through the Challenge.For instance, a campaign should be launched at the same time to provide people with more knowledge about the disease, encourage them to help those in need with love and integrity and become less commercial.Finally, it can gain popularity among us and make it open,fair and trust under the supervision of some organization

and public.The money raised will only be used to cure suffers without any other usage.

In conclusion,the Ice Bucket Challenge does a lot to help those suffers of disease and raises the public’s attention of this kind of disease.As a matter of fact,most things in moderation are healthy,and charitable activities are no different.We should always have the creed in mind that being a dutiful people and try to help others.
