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)

A. it is best to join organizations that you are interested in. colleges like to see that you actually care about the things you are involved in. so if you like playing a sport, join a team. if you enjoy volunteering, join a volunteer organization. it is best to show commitment and passion toward an activity, rather than worry what looks best. it's also good if you take a leadership role in an organization that you're involved in because that shows more dedication and responsibility.

A. Charity shops are the main place to donate unwanted gifts. You could decide to spread the donations throughout a few months. I guess they get overwhelmed in early January. All the charities with shops appeal for unwanted gifts to be donated after Xmas. Very few charity shops can take electrical goods. Best to check first. Those that can usually have someone who s qualified to test the items and make sure they re safe to use. Some charity shops will take them, not to sell in the shop but to be sold to recycling schemes or another use found for them. Children s charities such as Barnardo's, NCH and NSPCC are interested in taking unwanted children s toys and clothing. Local playgroups, children s hospitals, hospices etc might also be… [cont.]
