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)

Are there any organizations that help others start and run new companies?
Q. Meaning an organization that helps someone start a company not only financially but also gives them advice through market research and or other methods. Also organizations that help companies until they get on their feet. I'm looking for an organization that you can take an idea to and they help you make it happen (turn it into a reality).

A. Go to and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information on the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor. SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide.

How many political organizations exert control and influence over the United States Government?
Q. How many political organizations(secretive political organizations) exert control over the U.S. Government? I've read that there are 12 levels of government that have almost total control over the operations of our government. The CIA, CFR, Tri-lateral comission, and Military-Industrial complex are just a few of these organizations. What do you think?

A. America is controlled not by politicians but by corporations, bankers and Israel. This is it in a nutshell and the same for every government in the western civilisation. People's apathy in voting tied in with disinterest of politics has meant that politicians are no longer politicians per se, but mere puppets of the aforementioned industry. This has all been carefully planned in instituted over a period of time. People's disinterest in politics is not by chance, as our political elite has purposefully created a situation where no one cares anymore what they do, giving them even more power and less resistance to do whatever they so desire. It's ironic to think that people don't care abut politics when politics controls everything and plays… [cont.]

What are some good charities or organizations to donate to?
Q. My fiends and I want to do somewhat of a Secret Santa and buy something and donate to some charities or organizations that help the less fortunate. The only thing is, some of my friends are not in my state. So, what are some good charities or organizations that are located in just about every state?

A. How about you help someone on kiva.org? These people are trying to improve their situation for themselves and their families in the 3rd World by starting small local projects and businesses. You can help them directly by lending them money, interest free. The risk is actually very low as about 95% of the money is paid back. When you get it back, you help someone else! EDIT: Thanks for clearing that up, RoofingPrincess! Turns out Kiva doesn't charge interest, but Kiva actually deals with microfinance partners on the field and these partners do charge various rates.
