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 the object of analysis for a number of disciplines, such as sociology, economics, political science, psychology, management, and organizational communication. In more specific contexts, particularly for sociologists, the term "institution" may be preferred. The broader analysis of organizations is commonly referred to as organizational studies, organizational behavior or organization analysis. 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 are assisting in cleaning up the animals affected by the Gulf Coast oil leak?
Q. I want to act NOW to raise money for the organizations helping clean and protect the animals endangered by the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Living all the way up in the MidWest, physical help isn't an option for my friends and I, so we're planning a fund raiser, but what organization or company should we donate the money to???

A. National Wildlife Foundation. dawn dishwashing detergent also has an easy program: They use Dawn to clean the animals. Perhaps you could run a donation drive for people to buy Dawn, and then collect them to donate to various shelters (homeless, battered women, etc).

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.]
