Sample Solution

STRENGHTS
- Blood donation is a volunteer act of selflessness that can help save lives.
- Blood donations are in high demand, with the Red Cross alone needing over 40,000 donations each day to meet patient needs.
- Donation centers offer rewards such as free health screenings and coupons for restricted items like movies and dinners at restaurants.
- Donors feel pride knowing their donation will go towards helping those in need.
WEAKNESSES
- Some people may be reluctant to donate due to fear of needles or squeamishness when it comes to blood being taken out of their body.
- The time commitment required could also discourage potential donors from donating if they have tight schedules or limited vacation time.
OPPORTUNITIES
- Organizations like the Red Cross often partner with businesses who provide incentives for employees who donate blood, which can encourage more people to participate in the process.
- New technologies such as artificial intelligence or genetic testing may be used by donation centers to help better match donor’s blood types with patients’ needs and increase effectiveness of donations made available through transfusions and treatments.
