2007 - Third grade Fifth Place

Shehani Jayawickrama, Texas.

I think compassion has a greater impact on society. Compassion is love, comfort and someone gives to another person or animal. It has a greater impact on society because compassion can overrule ant kind of violence. Think back in history, Abraham Lincoln had compassion for slaves; John Muir had compeassion for nature. And they made a big difference in the world. So that is why I think compassion has a greater impact on society.
