If I was a member of the board of directors during the time of Ok Tedi operations, I would have been in favor of implementing a social accounting and reporting regime in the company. As social accounting is always a beneficial method for a company to maximize their profit and organizational image. Social accounting allows to see where improvements can be made so that an organization can better achieve their aims and values. It provides a continuous record of how effectively organization has developed and changed. Social accounting and reporting would help the Ok Tedi Mining company by giving feedback on how things are going from the range of people involved in the organization. As the 97% workers at the company are PNG inhabitants, it would be easy to look over them fulfill their basic needs and values. Social accounting would also identify the areas where things are working well and where not. To improve organization’s policy and perception ,it is a very appreciable way. Social accounting would help Ok Tedi Mining to work accordance with legal way and social values. Company’s decision would be more just and equitable to less powerful stakeholders.

...variety of settings, and happy people just flow with the groove of life in a unique way. Here is what they do differently: 1) They build a strong social fabric. Happy people stay connected to their families, neighbors, places of worship, and communities. These strong connections act as a buffer to depression and create strong, meaningful connections. The rate of depression has increased dramatically in the last 50-75 years. The World Health Organization predicts that by 2020, depression will be the second leading cause of mortality in the world, impacting nearly one-third of all adults (Murray & Lopez, 1996). While several forces are likely behind this increase, one of the most important factors may be the disconnection from people and their families and communities.

The President of a country is charged with and obligated to lead his nation, towards prosperity, advancement, nation building and is responsible for the overall well being of his nation's citizens. Some responsibilities include promoting quality, free education, adequate health care, child care, and better public transportation, while a homeless person is free to do whatever he or she wants. Nevertheless, homeless people will usually beg for money in public places and some homeless people will perform by playing musical instruments in subways or on the street, so that they can earn a few dollars. Often, homeless people are otherwise normal citizens who became overwhelmed by mental problems or other emotionally disabling conditions. An average homeless person doesn't have personal wealth or at least the means to access wealth. A homeless person often is born into this struggle to make ends meet from the start.

...Introduction When a teenage girl gets pregnant, this phenomenon is called teenage pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy is treated differently in many cultures. A great number of countries, mostly in Asia treat it like a regular thing due to their traditions and peculiarities of the culture. But the Western civilization treats teenage pregnancy like a negative phenomenon, because young people are supposed to study and have normal years of life, without burden and big problems. Unfortunately, teenage pregnancy is quite a frequent thing. Every day we can hear about the cases when a 15-year-old girl has got pregnant and parents do not know what to do. Teenagers are too young to be allowed to get married, and a child commonly lives in single parent family (very often it is difficult to identify the father of the baby). The most common decision of the teenagers and their parents is to get rid of pregnancy. Abortion in such a young age is quite a regular thing nowadays, because a baby is a great responsibility and one can not study and work having it. On the other hand abortion influences the girl’s body badly and it is the next problem. So, the topic is extremely urgent in modern society and nearly every student is asked to prepare a research paper on teenage pregnancy and analyze the problem deeply. Students have to spend much time to discover some cultural aspects and points of view towards teenage pregnancy of different people of the world. They have to brainstorm good methods and...
