The United Nation has been the world leader organization which help to solve global issues for the last half of century. They are well know for their assistant in providing help or to cure world’s problem in different side of the world. The Millennium Development Goals has been the UN target for this past years, and we see some progress but still not significantly. Most of the time, United Nation acts as a helper or a donator to a problem. Whereas, the Arc or social enterprise allows people to help themselves,by learning the tools which could help them to fix the issues in society.

Both United Nation and Arc or Social enterprise are equally significant to the never-ending world issues. In a way, United Nation helps to solve problem in the shorter time frame; they recognize the issues , open a forum, and try to negotiate on how to solve the issues by the organization that are already embodied in their organization (such as UNICEF,WHO, ILO,etc). Whereas, Social entrepreneur will see a problem, try to come up with solution, and create business or strategy that could solve the issues themselves. In longer term, the social enterprise not only helping people to solve a problem but also allows for those who practices it to develop themselves as a community as well as the individuals. Social Enterprise is also more focus, more targeted,often they operate in the location that are having issues or problem.In addition, Social enterprise also helps people to generate profit, and most importantly creating social environmental and cultural value while meeting a community needs that the traditional marketplace does not.
Even though the UN was fully funded, the world still needs to have social entrepreneurship in order for people to engage in their society, solve the problem, and allows to individuals and community to grow and maintain sustainability for the future.
