The problem I have solved My encounter with an injured feral cat ignited my desire to advocate for animal rights. I came across a feral kitten that had a bad cut on one of its legs. It was a wrecking scenario for me since I care about animals. As such, I caught the animal and decided to help it. However, most people (including my teacher) wanted me to throw the injured animal away. I declined and took the cat to a veterinarian. With a lot of care and patience, I was able to transform the unsociable feral cat to a friendly purring pet. People loved the cat, and he eventually got adopted by a family. This experience sparked hope and belief in me that I could voice for animal rights by pursuing political science. My love and compassion for animals grew stronger, driving me to start a non-governmental organization, the Mongolian Animal Welfare Organization (MAWO). The ultimate goal of MAWO is to advocate for the provision of basic needs to sentient creatures, especially dogs and cats. The organization focuses…

The Hattie M. Strong Foundation Prospect research is meant to unveil aspects such as wealth indicators, personal backgrounds, and philanthropic history to assist an organization in identifying the best prospects. The Hattie M. Strong Foundation has shifted the direction of its grants. Such organizations face different challenges during prospect research. Among the challenges that the organizations deal with include the disagreement on the philanthropic interest among the family members. It is a common occurrence in the family foundations as the family members may fail to focus on the set-agreed upon interests and philanthropic mission of the organization.  In some instances, the senior family members, for example, The Hattie M. Strong, who generated the wealth, may spin-off different foundations that may affect the process of prospect research. The change in leadership, such as the one that took place in The Hattie M. Strong Foundation, affects its strategies. For instance, the foundation’s main activity of giving interest-free loans to students was changed when Mr. Henry’s son, Mr. Strong, assumed his position in the company after his death (Harvard Kennedy School of Government).…

Are Reparations Necessary or Possible? Introduction The economic hardship that is being witnessed across the world seems to have intensified the debate on the wealth inequality between the richest and poorest countries. In the last 30 years, according to the article posted on OXFAM International, the world has witnessed a significant increase in the gap between rich and other countries elsewhere. The statistics show that the poorest half of the world population only managed to get 1% of the increase in world wealth, whereas the richest 1% managed to gain 50%. While many countries around the world experience a remarkable increase in wealth inequality, China and Mexico are said to have more than 25 times those of the poorest even though they started experiencing a dropped. Economic growth is adversely affected by the growing wealth inequality and worsens health, among many other variables (“Reducing inequality: Oxfam International,” n.d.). While the problem of wealth inequality has been a major concern even to countries such as Brazil, Belgium, and African countries, the focus has been majorly placed on African countries. Africa is…

Social Capital Paper For my social capital paper, I picked the activity number 6, 30, 89, 97, and 99 from the list of 100 things that a person could do to build their social capital. I must admit that thinking of how to fulfil these activities was a daunting task for me. As an introvert, I always find that I enjoy my company more than that of others. This situation usually leads me to struggle with pleasantries, including something as simple as saying hello to a stranger. In this regard, I was at odds at just where to begin. I tried looking online for ideas of how to manoeuvre social engagements successfully. However, I discovered that the internet was a wrong place to start since the influx of ideas it embodied only served to disorient me further. Hence, I thought of giving myself a few days to contemplate. However, as I am prone to procrastinating, I knew I was stalling. And, no matter how much I tried to talk myself out, the assignment was inescapable. And so, I sat down…

FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT POLICY BRIEF             While some people view whistle blowing as “snitching,” from a positive point of view it’s an action of bravery and curtailing from loyalty to ethics. All the organizations desire to have honesty and transparent employees which in turn ensures a complete dedication towards the attainment of an organization’s vision and mission. When a culture of whistle blowing is encouraged in an organization, it promotes transparency, effectiveness and clear communication within an organization (Chiu, 2013). More importantly, the culture whistle blowing within an organization can protect its clients. For instance, a hospital which recruits negligent officials, other employees who are ethically inclined would need air out such issues for the attention of the hospital management, protecting such an organization from potential lawsuits associated with unqualified staff in a hospital setting. Now, a dilemma arises in cases where certain officials are sure that they are protected from whistle blowers by a certain law as they are likely to take that advantage and act in unethical ways (Hwang, Staley, Chen, & Lan, 2015). One of the outlines…

Ethics in Christian vs. Non-Christian Companies  Religion is understood as the most crucial factor in an individual’s perspective of business ethics and the process of developing personal values. This feature, however, is examined and challenged in the business and economics perspectives since each player in business practices has to uphold ethical business conduct (Otte, 2009). In the workplace environment, however, the relationship between the two ideologies differs based on the position of an individual in the organizational structure. This paper evaluates the role of religion in business ethics by examining the responsibility of different players in the workplace environment. A religious-based ethical principle develops as a personal code of conduct in how a person carries out their activities daily. In this approach, a Christian employee in a company applies his/her ethical principle in the operations without a direction from the management. Therefore, a Christian employee doesn’t have different obligations or responsibilities to an employer than a non-Christian employee. The duty to do more in the workplace should develop as an individual decision rather than coercion from the management, which would…

CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMMES Introduction into the Subject Problem As it has been outlined in the previous discussion of crime prevention, the primary duty of the government is to provide safe and fair justice systems to its citizens. Several factors influence the occurrence of criminal activities. The factors range from social factors, environmental, political, and even individual human characteristics (Oseiet al., 2016). In that case, it is adequate to say that taking care of the above factor could act as a form of protection from antisocial crimes. Any earlier intervention practices that are put in place to deter the occurrence of a crime is the best tool for crime prevention. The issue of crime prevention has been active on debate platforms for quite some time now. It gets to be a challenge to define what to be addressed in the boundaries of crime prevention. Defining the term “crime prevention” is sometimes confusing. The word prevention has been previously used in different contradictory activities. One of the definitions of crime prevention is all efforts, programs, and policies developed from the private sector…

Financial Environment Summary The financial structure The financial management for not-for-profit organizations, government organizations, and for-profit organizations has a lot of differences and similarities. For-profit-organizations focus on profitability, not for profit organizations focuses on enhancing shareholder value while providing value in the healthcare system. On the other hand, government organizations’ financial management focuses on providing value for the public good and promoting initiatives that are good for the public. A not-for-profit organization, however, does not enjoy flexibility in its financial management plan because it does not engage in exchange transactions like it’s for-profit counterparts. The most important factor is ensuring that the donated resources are used optimally, unlike the for-profit, which receives payment for valuable healthcare services provided. For government organizations, they must ensure that tax payer’s money is managed optimally towards public good health outcomes that affect the health system on a larger scale. The financial management is more flexible and budgeted within government approximations. For example, the Center for Disease control plays a significant role in tacking and addressing regional health challenges of a broader scale and promoting…

KLM Tax System Abstract This paper pays attention to how a tax system can be developed to accommodate social justice in the Republic of KLM. Before proposing a suitable tax system for the country, then it is wise to pay attention to the concept and issues plaguing the KLM current tax system. Balancing the tax burden and potential, examining tax systems for effectiveness, and taxation progressiveness and equity are just some of the issues that the tax system ought to address. Efficient tax policies must be pegged on the Principles of Tax Systems. Though the principles are ethical, they only address the issue of revenue collection. .Hence, some of them must be left out to achieve a progressive tax system that is also friendly to the vulnerable. It is suggested that the VAT be lowered, and both direct and corporate tax be raised. The tax systems also have deductions that are meant to buffer the poor from unpredictable financial shocks. The country, in a bid to prevent tax losses through evasion, it has come up with stringent rules to penalize…
