Instead of just simply answering this question, I’d like to ask another question regarding a different subject that might be a little bit more relatable. If there was a classroom with thirty students needing help from one teacher – a teacher that is capable of teaching all the students in the class- would there suddenly be no need for personal tutors or academic helpers? The answer is no. Even if the teacher was able to help all the students, other resources that could help the student improve and succeed academically would still be welcomed. There can never be too many resources. Now, in my small analogy, the teacher was the United Nations while the students were representing the citizens in the world requiring help. Like the case in the classroom, just because there is a fully capable source of help like the UN, it does not mean that other resources – like the Arc and social enterprise – will become valueless. Firstly, the UN – like the teacher – cannot help specific groups of people with great focus. The UN must see problems holistically since their motto is to keep peace and improve lives of the citizens of the world. However, the Arc and social enterprise consist of a smaller group of people working together to solve and or improve a specific problem – essentially, social enterprise and the Arc were represented by the personal tutors and academic helpers since they bring a more personal and focused method of help. Additionally, even if the United Nations were fully funded, this does not mean in any way that all the world problems regarding hunger, poverty, education, illness and more will suddenly be resolved. In my opinion, there are too many complex problems in the world that exist that can’t be fixed with just money. The world needs social entrepreneurs and organizations like the Arc, that is composed of educated and passionate leaders that are willing to diverge all their efforts into specific issues that they wish to improve.
“If the United Nations was fully funded why would we need the Arc or social enterprise?”
