...Creating a Social Program Rosalind Harris HSM/240 August 21, 2010 Kevin Bottomley It is estimated that 1.3 million children are entrusted to their grandparents’ care everyday and that 2.4 million children live in households headed by a grandparent. This practice is one of tradition, especially in the African-American culture. Full-time care giving of grandchildren by grandparents is a growing national phenomenon (Moore & Miller, 2007). During this time, some grandparents experience stress and resentment for having to raise their children’s children. On the other hand, grandchildren experience emotional, behavior and academic problems at school (Edwards, Daire, 2006). This experience can be devastating for both grandparent and grandchild. With the assistance of the social program called “Grandma and Grandpa’s Hands”, Grandparents can learn how to cope with caring for grandchildren and grandchildren can receive assistance to enable them to improve their performance in school and to adjust to living in a loving environment where the grandparents are the guardian. The creation of this new social program will enable grandparents and grandchildren to appreciate this rewarding experience. The Social Problem The problems that this social program addresses is that different circumstances that place children in jeopardy such as the abandonment of child/children by the parent. In most cases, this is the result of a parent’s drug use, mental illness of a parent and divorce...

...Description of organization Jewel’s Rescue mission is a Non-profit, Non-denominational Christian organization meeting the needs of less fortunate in the county of Merced through emergency short and long-term rehabilitation services. The program will also serve as a rescue mission for some displaced pets. Jewel’s Rescue Mission was established because of the love and compassion of one woman. As long as I can remember, Jeweline (Jewel) P. Mays opened her home and heart to people and pets of all lifestyles. Her love for Christ kept her humble and prosperous. She rarely missed a day of cooking a hearty meal. Every meal cooked was large enough to feed a small army. There was seldom a day that a stranger was not at our table. Jewel would always save the scraps for animals. All who knew her knew Jewel throughout the community as,”Mom”. In 2006, Jewel was diagnosed with a rare illness. Physicians informed us the illness would end her life within three years. That news never discouraged her, and her faith in God never waivered. Although her wind capacity was getting shorter as they day went on, she continued going to church until she was no longer able to endure the air outdoors. With all of this going on her life, she kept feeding the hungry and helping those who needed help mentally, spiritually, sometimes physically and financially for the better part of those three years. Towards the end of her life, she was still concerned about a few she had not been able to help in the past...

...MARKETING Effective internal marketing must be matched by a strong sense of social responsibility. Companies need to evaluate whether they are truly practicing ethical and socially responsible marketing. Several forces are driving companies to practice a higher level of corporate social responsibility: rising customer expectations, changing employee expectations, government legislation and pressure, investor interest in social criteria, and changing business procurement practices. The societal marketing concept holds that the organization's task is to determine the needs, wants, and interests of target markets and to deliver the desired satisfactions more effectively and efficiently than competitors in a way that preserves or enhances the consumer's and the society's well-being. The societal marketing concept calls upon marketers to build social and ethical considerations into their marketing practices. They must balance and juggle the often conflicting criteria of company profits, consumer want satisfaction, and public interest. The societal marketing concept is an enlightened marketing concept that holds that a company should make good marketing decisions by considering consumers' wants, the company's requirements, and society's long-term interests. (It is closely linked with the principles of corporate social responsibility and of sustainable development). The concept has an emphasis on social responsibility and suggests that for a company to only focus on exchange...

...fourteen. Cultural background and social status determined the educational curriculum for the boy. An example of this is the schooling available to young boys of the medieval era. It was during this era that the first ungraded school was created. The church established ungraded schools for boys of low social status, where the boys were to focus on religion and a trade. Aristocratic boys, on the other hand, attended chivalric schools. These schools equipped the boys with knowledge in an array of subjects such as: music, history, language, math, poetry, etiquette, physical training, battle skills, and heraldry. These schools curriculum was based on learning by memorization (drilling the information...

...What is Social Enterprise? A social enterprise is an organization that applies commercial strategies to maximize improvements in human and environmental well-being, rather than maximizing profits for external shareholders. Social enterprises can be structured as a for-profit or non-profit, and may take the form of a co-operative, mutual organization, a disregarded entity, a social business, or a charity organization Many commercial enterprises would consider themselves to have social objectives, but commitment to these objectives is motivated by the perception that such commitment will ultimately make the enterprise more financially valuable. Social enterprises differ in that, inversely, they do not aim to offer any benefit to their investors, except where they believe that doing so will ultimately further their capacity to realize their social and environmental goals. The term has a mixed and contested heritage due to its philanthropic roots in the US, and cooperative roots in the UK, EU and Asia. In the US, the term is associated with 'doing charity by doing trade', rather than 'doing charity while doing trade'. In other countries, there is a much stronger emphasis on community organizing, democratic control of capital and mutual principles, rather than philanthropy. In recent years, there has been a rise in the concept of social purpose businesses which pursue social responsibility directly, or raise funds for charitable projects. Many entrepreneurs, whilst running...

...the Umeed Foundation, based in Punjab, India and focused on rural development of the Punjab region through economic empowerment and healthcare programs benefiting many women and children of the area. I will cover the core values of this foundation, the programs the foundation creates and supports as well as the impact to the community and my commentary of the resources they provide. The Umeed Foundation was created by Chairman Arvind Khanna in 1997 as a way to work with the impoverished region of Sangrur in the Punjab region of India which was a locally marginalized area that had been wrecked by years of terrorism, fighting in the region and lack of development by state resources. Local residents were unable to earn a fair wage and were thereby unable to support themselves and help develop future generations and that system was creating a long term poverty cycle for the area that was unlikely to be broken. Khanna believed in working to empower the local inhabitants through a small loan program and skill development training as well as by setting up a more reliable healthcare system. Umeed’s mission is stated as: “transforming the hopes and aspirations of the underprivileged into reality through good health, skill development, entrepreneurship, employment opportunities and cohesive community development. The NGO envisages creating a movement through awareness generation, motivating the underprivileged to become self-reliant and useful contributors to rural and semi urban...

...host company but simultaneously pursue social objectives, even at the cost of lowering profits. I will argue that New York State Electric and Gas Corporation (NYSEG) Project Share is both altruistic and good business with supporting claims from Edward Freeman and opposing views from Milton Freidman and John Boatright. Edward Freeman, having a Kant view, sees Project Share as contributing value to the various groups that are connected to NYSEG including shareholders. Project Share is consistent with its fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders. Project Share utilizes non-maleficence, beneficence, justice, and autonomy by ensuring that customers who cannot pay their bills on time have financial aid. This also creates value for NYSEG by becoming a positive image in the public eye, retaining customers, and creates more jobs. The money that would have been lost any how from outstanding bills is used to create beneficence. Conversely, Milton Freidman, who also has a Kant view, sees Project Share as not fulfilling your duty to your shareholders, which is to maximize profit. Spending shareholder’s money on the less fortunate consumers who cannot pay their bills is breaking non-maleficence and beneficence. I think he would remind NYSEG of the invisible hand, which states that society is much better off if we can rely on the self-interest of the company to do its duty to provide us with energy rather than relying on beneficence or social responsibility. Lastly, John Boatright...

...The Big Idea: Creating Shared Value Rethinking Capitalism by Michael E. Porter and Mark R. Kramer January–February 2011 ‐ http://hbr.org/2011/01/the‐big‐idea‐creating‐shared‐value/ar/pr What Is “Creating Shared Value”? - Policies and operating practices that enhance the competitiveness of a company while simultaneously advancing the economic and social conditions in the communities in which it operates. The concept of shared value—which focuses on the connections between societal and economic progress— has the power to unleash the next wave of global growth. An increasing number of companies known for their hard‐nosed approach to business—such as Google, IBM, Intel, Johnson & Johnson, Nestlé, Unilever, and Wal‐Mart—have begun to embark on important shared value initiatives. But our understanding of the potential of shared value is just beginning. There are three key ways that companies can create shared value opportunities: • By reconceiving products and markets • By redefining productivity in the value chain • By enabling local cluster development Every firm should look at decisions and opportunities through the lens of shared value. This will lead to new approaches that generate greater innovation and growth for companies—and also greater benefits for society. Creating Shared Value & ‘Developing countries’ - Solving social problems has been ceded to governments and to NGOs. Corporate responsibilities programs—a reaction to external p...
