Initiatives Like the Arc and Social Enterprises are the Safeguards of Wellbeing of the Society

Even though if it is true that United Nations was fully funded, the society still needs initiatives like the Arc and social enterprises to ensure the prosperity of local communities. Since United Nations is responsible for corporations between states and almost inaccessible for small enterprises and young entrepreneurs, the society needs safeguards to protect small business and guarantee the welfare of communities.

Considering the example of Salem’s craft boutique business, the company would go crashed without the help of the Arc as the owner was lost in the dilemma faced. The Arc initiative not only aided save the business but also helped create shared values via recommending Salem to hire indigenous female workers. Imagine if Salem was funded by United Nations, her problem might not be solved as efficiently as aided by the Arc, who is able to work within the community level and provide full dedication to help those in need.

Speaking for social enterprise, on the other hand, possesses a distinct goal than United Nations does — making profits while advancing social conditions. The Osei-Duro Clothing company is a typical model of social enterprises as they has synchronously solved their low-quality products issues and alleviated local unemployment problem by focusing on human labor production line.

We need these effective initiatives and enterprises to make sure wellbeing of the society is maximized, otherwise, a large number of businesses like Salem’s craft boutique would’ve gone, and social issues such as unemployment would’ve been exacerbated.
