1. Differentiate ‘organization’, ‘society’, and ‘state’.

Identify the unique


characteristics of these three terms. Give examples.
- The difference between ‘organization’, ‘society’, and ‘state’ is that an
organization is a social unit of people that is structured and managed to meet a need or
to pursue collective goals, meanwhile, society is a large social grouping that shares the
same geographical or social territory, typically subject to the same political authority and
dominant cultural expectations, lastly, state is an organized political community that acts
under a government, a state could be classified as sovereign if they are not
independent on, or subject to, any other power or state. A unique trait of ‘organization’
is that it has a continuing system, which means that an organization may outlast its
creator by century and although organizational members have their own individual
goals, but they also share common goal to be achieved. For example, universities like
Assam Central University, are expected to produce products. Members may join and
leave the organization. But organization continues and enjoys eternal entity. For
‘society’, its unique characteristic is that it has the ability to form a social structure
through social institutions; family, education economic, political and religious institutions.
These basic five institutions are found in all societies of the world, in addition society is
a self-sufficient social system which means that one’s own needs can be fulfilled without
help from others, example a member of the society growing his own food. Lastly,
‘society’, its unique characteristic is that it issues and enforces rules for the people living
within its territory; government must be recognized from within and by other nation
states in the international community, it must also have clearly defined and recognized
borders. Lastly, The State has four elements, population, territory, government, and
sovereignty. In the absence of even one element, a State cannot be really a State. A
state is always characterized by all these four elements.

2. Differentiate ‘intra-governmental organizations’ from ‘inter-governmental


organizations’. Give examples of issues tackled in both domains.
- Intra-governmental organization, base from my research is occurring or existing
between branches or departments of government, meanwhile, inter-government
organization is an organization composed primarily of sovereign states, or of other
intergovernmental organizations. Inter-governmental organizations’ are established by a
treaty that acts as a charter creating the group. The issues tackled in both domains are
governance issues, conflicts of interest, and poor leadership. These issues are very
common and is occurring even in our own country, for example, some actors, by virtue
of their background or past experience, do not have the credibility or incentives to
effectively perform regulatory roles. With such actors in leadership positions, the
legitimacy of the organization to pursue its goals probably is undermined. International
organizations can also suffer from these issues.

3. Differentiate ‘governmental organizations’ from ‘non-governmental


organizations;. Give examples of issues tacked in both domains
- The difference between governmental organization from non-governmental
organization is that, non- governmental organization is any non- profit, voluntary citizens
which is organized around specific goal. They perform variety of service and
humanitarian functions, they raise awareness and monitor issues all over the world,
bring citizen concerns to governments and encourage political participation. On the
other hand, governmental organization is sometimes an appointed commission, a
permanent or semi-permanent organization in the machinery of government that is
responsible for the oversight and administration of specific functions, such as an
administration.
