The “Social Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprises” text is about business which is helpful for humankind.  In the world people face to face lots of problems. These problems are about society or environment or planet etc… People have to deal with those problems. They can solve problems by doing business. Although business’s main aim is making profit, firms can make donations or doing responsibility projects. Social entrepreneurs are the heroes who will find solution with business and help people. Social entrepreneurs are in two cases which are social and financial. These people have to think their money and their profit. If they want to be successful they have to discover the balance between financial and social. I think that social business model is realistic. If we look at the example, which is about Emmaus, firms can make the world a better place with social activities. They give homeless and poor people beds and then those people reduce drugs and alcohols.  With these project they can make profit while helping people. Social entrepreneurs see bad situations and they try to find solutions. They focus on people’s basic needs. They can offer people what they need and with doing that they can make profit.

“Non-governmental organizations (NGOs)” text is about helping people and poor societies. NGOs main aim is helping people without making profit. They are voluntarily do these aids. These aids cover landscapes of development, human rights, humanitarian action, and environment. I think that NGOs are really important. People need help and some governments have not much profit to help their citizens. Therefore, NGOs are really necessary. NGO roles can be usefully analyzed as having three main components: implementer, catalyst, and partner. With these components NGOs carry out healthcare, improve social transformation. NGOs may be large or small, formal or informal, bureaucratic or flexible. There are some NGOs which are well organized and they have lots of stuff. On the other hand, there are some NGOs which include volunteers and supporters. All NGOs want to help people while doing that they do not want to make profit. Some NGOs man aim to meet only human’s basic needs while others take long-term problems and they seek to develop alternative ideas to resolve those problems. In future direction part explains that they should improve themselves and find more solutions to long term problems. NGOs are useful actors because they can provide cost-effective services in flexible ways which means they can improve themselves day by day.

‘UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS’ text is about the solutions about human threats. There are 17 solutions in this text. Solutions are not only helpful but also unrealistic. When I read the text I learn lots of information about humans. I just knew the half of this problems before I read the text. It covers nearly every problem about humankind. However, solutions are not realistic in some goals. For example, one of the goal is ‘No Poverty’ aims that in 2030 there will be no poverty in the world. There are lots of developed countries which have lots of money and resources. However, they are not helping poor countries now. I think there will be  a war which is about resources so countries do not want to share their own resources. Thus, poverty never ends.  There is a goal which is partnership goals can be realistically achieved by the end of the 2030 because technology and trade are getting better and better day by day. It aims that with trade and export global partnership will be revitalized. It helps country’s economy and trade rules. In addition to that, ‘Decent work and economic growth’ is one of the goal which can be realistically achieved. Entrepreneurship and job creation are really important points in economy. With these points we can deal with the economy. I think that gender equality is really important goal for Turkey. It is the biggest problem in our country which is about gender. Our people think that women and men are different but this is not true. With this goal we can change this idea. We have to protect our women to sexual violence which is in our country. I think that we have to change our people’s idea with obligatory seminars. Then women can feel more comfortable in their work and everywhere. We have to explain people to women and men are equal and they have equal rights.
