...The Salvation Army Week4TeamC Ethics and Social Responsibilities 17 June 2013 Professor Ward Scheitrum The Salvation Army The Salvation Army’s duty to the community stems back in history. In, 1852, William Booth started his ministerial profession, desiring to win over the hearts and minds of England and bring them to Christ. He would walk the streets of London as an advocate for the gospel of Jesus Christ and would primarily focus his messages to the needy. He disagreed with the ideas of the stance that the churches of London took. He decided to take his idea to the people, instead of fighting the church. His commitment led to the disagreement with the religious leaders, who believed in the teachings of the churches beliefs. He decided to leave the church because of that reason and toured across England, to establish meetings in order to gain substantial like minded believers. This essay keys in on a few important points, such as; influences of the organization’s social commitment, social responsibility, and their potential moral and ethical effects on the world today. What many people do not know is that the Salvation Army is motivated by the Christian church. The Salvation Army improves the quality of life and to meet the needs of those less fortunate regardless of religious preference or any other bias. They are here to help but their main focus and social initiative is to spread the word of God and to help others in his name. This is their...

...The Salvation Army is the largest non-governmental direct provider of social services in the country. The Salvation Army Thrift Stores are dedicated to raise money for its rehabilitation programs by selling donated used items such as clothing, housewares, and toys at a cheaper price for those in need (“History,” 2016). Like many other thrift stores, The Salvation Army thrift stores suffer from the increasing problem of waste disposal due to unwanted donations. While most people drop off easily sellable items, some donors are treating the thrift stores like garbage dumps, which forces the Salvation Army to pay huge amounts of money to dump its garbage. This has become a frustrating issue for the company as it decreases the support for the mission directed activities. To determine the best possible...

... The Salvation Army was found by William Booth and his co-founder, his wife, Catherine. Booth started his career in ministry in 1852, longing to win the misplaced persons to Christ. He preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to the poor, homeless, and hungry walking the streets of London. Booth abandoned the conventional concept of church and began taking his message straight to the people. In 1865, Booth was invited to hold a series of meetings in the East End of London and his services became an instant success. This was an end to his wandering and traveling evangelist. He was known as a religious leader throughout London and he attracted individuals that were dedicated to fight for the souls of the women and men. Some of Booth’s first congregation was thieves, prostitutes, gamblers, and drunks. His mission was to lead people to Christ and link them to a church for their future spiritual guidance. Many churches did not accept Booth’s followers because of their past. He continued to give guidance and encouraged his followers to help others in need. In 1874 Booth had over 1,000 full time workers, including volunteers and nearly 50 evangelists, all serving under the name “The Christian Mission”. Booth read over a printer’s proof for the annual report of 1878 and noticed the statement “The Christian Mission is a volunteer army”. He crossed out the words “volunteer army” and wrote in “Salvation Army”. From these words the basis of The Salvation Army started The...

...Grant Participation Part II 2 Grant Participation Part II The Salvation Army’s Alegria Program provides services to families who have a member living with HIV/AIDS and do not have any other housing options. Initially the program is set up in three phases. The first phase is emergency housing, and if need be clients then transfer into the transitional housing phase, and upon further stabilization (as well as vacancies) families then move into the third phase, which is permanent housing. The Salvation Army was seeking to fund 16 transitional housing units, and as a result applied for a government grant through LAHSA (The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority). The role of this writer was to contact appropriate departments in order to obtain certain documents so that they may be submitted along with the RFP. This was somewhat challenging because departments were inundated with requests from other programs due to the submission of grant renewals and quarterly reports . This writer had to make several attempts to obtain some of the paperwork. Departments contacted included: the finance department, in order to request copies of financial audit reports, as well as assurances, IRS paperwork demonstrating proof of nonprofit status, the development department in order to obtain information on current donations from donors, etc. This writer also had to communicate with the grants manager as well as the executive director of social services, and the executive director of...

...the Salvation Army who has dedicated her life to helping the poor. She soon realizes that charity is not the best option to abolish poverty. Giving the poor jobs and letting them earn a living is the best way for people to live. Poverty cannot be 100 percent eliminated, however business owners giving the lower-class jobs will help relieve the poor. Capitalism works by promoting hard work for its citizens. Hard work yields a much more productive society. In Major Barbara, Undershaft is the capitalist who shows Barbara that giving the poor the skills to work on their own is much more beneficial than simply donating to them. Unemployment is the foundation of poverty. To employ citizens is to eradicate poverty. Undershaft knows that the poor will only become poorer if they do not have the proper skills to survive. The Salvation Army and other charitable organizations do not promote self-sufficiency. People are not happy when they cannot take care of themselves. People accepting help from others often feel guilty and ashamed of what they are taking. A recent study has shown the happiness levels of European countries that have recently switched to a capitalistic society. Suicide rates have greatly decreased since the switch, thus demonstrating the increase in the nation’s morale. As Shaw strongly depicts the advantages of capitalism, other points of view are also demonstrated in the play. Barbara’s point of view is to help those in need through her work at the Salvation Army...

Countries and regions across the world have struggled with the use and abuse of drugs within its populace, the Caribbean being no exception. In some instances these practices have led to criminal activities and violence, especially gang- related violence. Drug abuse usually starts with mere experimentation and develops into social exclusion, degradation of family values, greed, stress, and inadequate life and social skills. The consequence of illicit drug use typically extends to crime related instability and insecurity, the creation of health challenges and can even contribute to the spread of diseases such as HIV that impacts both social and economic development. History Since the dawn of history, humans have sought ways to relieve the daily strains of life, bringing forth and making popular the practice of ‘substance abuse’. The ancient people of Mesopotamia as well as those of Ancient Greece, Rome, India, Assyria, Etc. produced beer and opium for recreational uses which was surely a form of drug abuse but was not seen as such as it was socially acceptable at the time.

Love is also known to be one of the most intense and powerful human experiences. Love is a special and complicated emotion which is quite difficult to understand. Therefore, Love is Categorized into four type. These are: * Agape * Philia * Storage * Eros Agape: This is the Greek word. This is an unconditional Love that sees beyond the outer surface of and accepts a person for who they are regardless of their flaws and faults. Agape love is not like a brotherly love or a love between a husband and a wife. It is the most self-sacrificing love there is. This type of love is the love that God has for his own children. This type of love was displayed on the cross by Jesus Christ. An example of this is in the Book of John, chapter 3, verse 16 which say that “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that who so ever believes in him shall not parish but have ever lasting life”.

This therefore leads the mind to ask three questions; 1. Are Secondary school students making the decision to use drugs because of pressure from their peers? 2. Are Secondary school students using drugs because someone in their household is also using it? 3. Are students abusing drugs because it is easily accessible and affordable? According to the 2007 Guyana School Survey on Drug Prevalence in Secondary Schools, statistics indicated that the response of the majority of the students’ feedback was positive for the above three questions. How can we prevent drug use and abuse? What can treatment centers do to deal with abusers?

...Japanese Atrocities during World War II in Philippines Story of Atrocities by Japs on Hapless Prisoners is released by the U.S.; Deliberate Starvation, Torture, Death courtesy of Batman Corrugators Memorial Foundation of New Mexico, Inc WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — JAN. 28, 1944 — A pent-up story of atrocities perpetrated by the Japanese army on the captured heroes of Batman and Corrugators was released by the United States government today in sickening detail. A joint report by the Army and Navy broke at last the rigid censorship maintained by the high command on the almost unbelievable reports that came out of the Pacific, to tell what happened to the men whose valor slowed the tide of Japanese conquest. A Tale of Torture Compiled from the sworn statements of officers who survived the starvation and torture and escaped, it catalogued the infamy of a brutal enemy, and wrote in shocking terms the code of the Japanese warrior — to subject 36,000 gallant soldiers to deliberate starvation, to shoot in cold blood the thirsty who seek water, to watch sick men writhe and deny them medicine, to horsewhip those who help their fallen comrades, to beat men with two-by-fours, to behead those who try to escape, and to bury tortured men alive. The three who lived to return and tell of the agony they endured were Commander Melvyn H. McCoy, USN, of Indianapolis, Lt. Col. S. M. Mellnik, Coast Artillery Corps of Dunmore, Pa., and Lt. Col. William E. Dyess, Air Corps, of Albany, Tex. Dyess...

Scanlan growing up working the mines came highly recommended. Being appointed to the territory that covers Centralia 5, upon first inspection Mr. Scanlan recommended that the mine be closed, as to repair violation and make the mines a bit more safe. Mr. Scanlan sent these reports to the head office of Mines and Bell and Zoller Coal Mine Company. This continued for five years of having his reports ignored. Was the excuse that before Scanlan was hired the mine had a passing record? But if one examined the length of time that this mine had been work the buildup on the roads should have been an acknowlgement of the conditions. After his first visit Scanlan suggested that the number 5 mine in Illinois be closed. Why were the recommendations ignored? Was there not enough trust in the report or the inspector? Did Scanlan exercise his rights as an inspector? No because one of the duties of an inspector is to police the operators of the mines, in other words he should have been trying to see that the owners complied with regulation and...
