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)

How many organizations other than the Masonic Lodge claim to be the heirs of the Knights Templar?
Q. An academician friend told me that there are five organizations that sprang up in the late 18th. and early 19th. centuries that make spurious claims of decent from the Templars. I can only remember the Masons and one other that he mentioned (he said that only their capacity for drinking and wenching was a Templar tradition). I only remember on other organization that he named. Do you know what the 5 groups are?

A. I'm aware of a middle ages figure of speech "He drinks like a Templar". They were famous for ignoring their vows. There are no modern organizations that are descended from the Knights of the Temple (and none descended from guilds save those guilds still serving as social groups in London etc.) All the hocus-pocus is play acting on the part of the ring-bangers. And Jacques De Moley had no connection with the club that bears his name.

A. Check around for local parent support groups and you will find a wealth of information. Check with your local Health Department for info on the Children's First program and ask if they happen to know of any resources. CHeck with the Muscular Dystrophy Association and according to the website listed below there are many links to helpful information and a chat option to talk to other parents. God Bless!!

What humanitarian organizations will let an 18 year old girl go to Darfur?
Q. After high school it has always been my dream to go to Darfur and work in a refugee camp. Do you know of any humanitarian organizations that will allow me to go there?

A. I've got in contact with a couple NGO's that are there right now for volunteering...but it's almost impossible to volunteer there if you aren't a professional (doctor, nurse, etc...) b/c a lot of the activities that are needed there usually go to locals b/c they have heavy unemployment...so they pay a lot of people that live in certain area's of Darfur to do a lot of the work that you are looking to volunteer for.
