Matthew QuintanaGSC 300Spring 2018Community Sectors Class AssignmentThe Private Sector BusinessPrivate sector business is essentially privately owned or held businesses that make up a large percentage of our countries business entities. These businesses vary in size and can be anything from a single proprietor business to multinational corporations. They offer goods and services, can be the manufacturer or reseller and are generally involved in “for profit” endeavors. While I mentioned that a lot of businesses are huge corporations, a lot of private sector businesses are still essentially the small proprietor being “all-in” on their businesses where the owner and business financial stake are both on line.

Currently, there are around 10 million people currently employed with nonprofits. As mentioned in the title of this section, we are in fact talking about charities and foundations, which itself is generally considered a good thing. These organizations go beyond simple employment in that they give back to more than just the economy, but also their local communities and the people that live in them. The services that these institutions provide can house everything from spiritual, educational, medical and more. They provide a benefit in their communities that let those who may feel alone or lost know that there are options for support. Essentially, for almost every need there is likely some foundation or non-profit who is either there to help directly, or, at the very least show the way. The Public Sector (Government)Our government and the public sector seem to be in the lime light these days. From differing political views, to the question of support of the various groups that currently reside in the United States, the government is involved in some way. Essentially, the public sector is the part of the economy that is controlled by the government. They are responsible for almost everything that is not controlled by the previously two mentioned sectors. Everything from our monetary systems, our water, transit, electrical, water, police, the departments that create the roads …show more content…

The National Labor Relations Board still oversees labor unions, while the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures money in the banks, just to name a few. Furthermore, it is still being debated how large a role government should play in American
Governmental power is often held by a few, and this also leads to problems as citizens feel that their voices are not being heard. This inequality is not seen only between people and the government, but also different groups of citizens today (gender, race,
With regard to monetary resources, nonprofit organizations are income tax exempt, according to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS); yet the level at which charitable giving is tax deductible varies according the IRS categories of nonprofit organizations (Worth, 2017). Ultimately, this privilege should cause nonprofit organizations, regardless of where how they operate with the spectrum of the two models, to effectively expend resources. Specifically, the volunteer spirit model encourages volunteerism centered on a democratic philosophy of sharing the burden of the cause, and this create a more effective foundation for using charitable donations directly for the cause or service (Brainard & Siplon, 2004). In contrast, the economic model, leaning toward paid staff and relying on material or monetary incentives, may be using charitable donations ineffectively (2004).
However, in these organizations they’ve made social, economic and political
As a result, the impact of large enterprises on the government is becoming more and more big, and big enterprises seem to learn more and more how to achieve their own interests in the
Big corporations and businesses have been thriving in America since the late nineteenth century. The definition of the term “Big business” is “an economic group consisting of large profit-making corporations especially with regard to their influence on social or political policy”(“Big Business”). Some big corporations include the steel companies, the oil companies, and the railroad industry. Some modern-day businesses include Apple and Android, and oil companies today.
Although most of my involvement has centered around politics, where I have been an active volunteer in the current election cycle, my service also extends to the homeless community in the Quad Cities. After recognizing the extent of homelessness in Davenport, my friend decided to start a nonprofit 5K to benefit a local shelter and I immediately joined in the venture. By working with the shelter rather than independently, we were able to avoid the faults set forth in To Hell With Good Intentions. Our good intentions have donated over $10,000 to King’s Harvest Ministries, who uses funds in a way that raises the standard of living for the local homeless
The government is there to help out some but the majority of the help that the community will receive comes from the people within the community itself. Individuals in the community will do fundraisers and drives to collect things certain people will need while the government will sit back and watch the money straight into their pockets. My perspective is not in an agreement with the first perspective. The first perspective is basically saying that only the government can help and fix the problems we have in our world. In my opinion my perspective does not agree with what the first perspective said due to it basically saying that individuals do nothing to try and help the problems we have today
The development of Bureaucracy was due to increasing citizen demand for improved government services and for the government to develop their own goals for policy. Citizens sought more government involvement, such as, regulating corporate behavior and delivering more services. Andrew Jackson’s election in 1829 also influenced the development of bureaucracy. At the height of his election, Jackson introduced a spoils system where those involved in Jackson’s campaign were rewarded with positions in government. Detailed procedures were then developed to direct new employees who lacked experience.
Non-profit sector is very different from both the public and private sectors. It is a tax-exempt organization or social sector which is mainly formed for the purpose of education, religious, art, animal right or charitable (Hatten, 1997). Popular examples for the non-profit organization are World Wildlife Fund, Do Something, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Green Peace and Malaysia Red Crescent Society. The ownership of the non-profit organizations does not belong to anyone, even the founder of organization, which is very different from other form of business.

Understand organisational structures 1.1 Explain the differences between the private sector, public sector and voluntary sector In the business world there is three main sectors that separate different organisations they are: The private or commercial sector, the public sector and Voluntary or not-for-profit sector.

Many kids in the U.S are suffering from child hunger and don’t know when their next meal would come and where it would come from. Children won’t progress in school since child hunger affects their school performance and grades. If we donate more to foundations that exist today then there is a higher chance of change and child hunger ending. Child hunger is spreading spreading all over the world and if we don’t stop it in the U.S we won’t be able to help other countries. With a little donation you could be the reason why our future generations are improving, the world is safe, and there is now no child hungry.
• Ethical Responsibilities Even though economical and legal responsibilities exemplify about fairness and justice, ethical responsibilities cover those activities and practices that are expected or prohibited by members of society even though they are not codified in law. Ethical responsibilities represent those norms, standards or expectations that reflect a jest of what employees, consumers and shareholders regard as just, fair or in keeping the protection or respect of stakeholders’ moral rights. They are important to perform in a manner consistent with expectations of societal and ethical norms. The firms should recognize and respect the ethical moral norms adopted by society from time to time.
