An organization (or organisation — see spelling differences) is a social arrangement which pursues collective goals, controls its own performance, and has a boundary separating it from its environment. The word itself is derived from the Greek word organon, itself derived from the better-known word ergon.

In the social sciences, organizations are studied by researchers from several disciplines, the most common of which are sociology, economics, political science, psychology, management, and organizational communication. The broad area is commonly referred to as organizational studies, organizational behavior or organization analysis. Therefore, a number of different theories and perspectives exist, some of which are compatible,

  • Organization – process-related: an entity is being (re-)organized (organization as task or action).
  • Organization – functional: organization as a function of how entities like businesses or state authorities are used (organization as a permanent structure).
  • Organization – institutional: an entity is an organization (organization as an actual purposeful structure within a social context)

What organizations will let a 13 year old go to a different country to volunteer?
Q. Im thirteen and would really like to go to a different country such as Africa or China and help less fortunate then me. I have been trying to research but all of the organizations i have found require you to be at least 16 or 18 years old. Does anyone have any advice?

A. At 13, no international program is going to take you unless maybe your parents go to. A better is idea is to engage in activities that will make you a better candidate for volunteering internationally when you are older, like working in HIV/AIDS prevention campaigns, learning another language well enough to work in, joining FFA, working with immigrants, etc. Here is a web site that can help you learn more about the skills and experience desired by volunteer placement agencies, and how you can engage in activities now to make you an attractive candidate some day: Even when you turn 18, you are going to be too young to volunteer for groups that send skilled volunteers to the developing world and *don't* charge the volunteers for the… [cont.]

Are there any organizations in Canada that accept the pull tabs from pop cans?
Q. I am looking for a place or organization in Canada that accepts pop tops (pull tabs) from aluminum cans, such as pop or beer. I have been saving them for a while and wanted somewhere to donate, by either mail or dropping them off. I reside near Hamilton, so are there any local organizations i can do this? and or any where in canada i could mail them? thanks!!

A. You could try checking with a local service club, such as the Lions, Rotary, etc. Some of them collect the tabs to sell as scrap aluminum (the Lions throughout Alberta do, but I'm not sure about the rest of the country.)

Are there any UK charities or organizations that have an appeal for unwanted Christmas gifts?
Q. I would like to donate all of my Christmas gifts this year to a charity or charitable organization. Are there any organizations that have a special appeal for unwanted gifts?
Asked by Warm Breeze - Tue Dec 25 08:22:41 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Charity shops are the main place to donate unwanted gifts. You could decide to spread the donations throughout a few months. I guess they get overwhelmed in early January. All the charities with shops appeal for unwanted gifts to be donated after Xmas. Very few charity shops can take electrical goods. Best to check first. Those that can usually have someone who s qualified to test the items and make sure they re safe to use. Some charity shops will take them, not to sell in the shop but to be sold to recycling schemes or another use found for them. Children s charities such as Barnardo's, NCH and NSPCC are interested in taking unwanted children s toys and clothing. Local playgroups, children s hospitals, hospices etc might also be… [cont.]
