Is the United States a generous nation?
Background: I was not present when this question was posed, so I did
not have an opportunity to ask for clarification. I think components
of the answer could be: 1)how much time and how much money do
Americans give to organized charity? (I have Independent Sector data).
2) How does American giving of time and money compare to that in other
nations? (I don't have comparative info about other nations). 3) how
much money does the US government give to other countries -- foreign
aid and percent of GDP (I have info on this)and how much money do
other
nations give in foreign aid (I have info on this). 4) how much
assistance (time, material, money) do American charities contribute to
other nations (disaster relief, etc.) I have NO INFO on this! 5) How
much help (time/money/goods)do we give one another, informally -- help
that would not be "counted" by Independent Sector surveys because it
is not "volunteering in organized charities" (I have no info on this).
6) Do Americans THINK of themselves as "generous?" ( I have no info on
this).

Since you have a multi-part question, if you're looking for some
rather in-depth analysis/answers, you may consider increasing the list
price.
