The blind Milton said that "to love and lost" is always better than "not love at all". In an Utopian world, this works perfectly. Milton's was full of sacrifice, of the desire to love without expectation. Perhaps, it is more of a divine love.
Brushing with reality is different. To love without being returned is awful... others would even resort to suicides. It is painful not to be loved. It is lonely. It is difficult. It is human nature. We want to be loved. We want to feel worthy. We want to feel cared for. We want to feel important to someone else.
Yet, too much love kills. But why we always love and care for people? Because it's also human nature.
A friend said that dogs are better than humans. When you care for dogs, they stay loyal and they don't throw words that can hurt you. Dogs are great friends... but never humans. There is so much complexity to being human. Caring for people is a given. We always do care for people because it's innate to us. We sympathize when people are hurt. We try to understand them.
But time comes when our own hearts are broken. It is impossible to laugh without pain. It is impossible to smile without breaking. And yet, love is not there... and the care we need is not there.
Times when we think that it is better to be cold and detached, than be a victim of pain. Times when it is better to unlove and be strong. Times when it is better to be alone than with people, but your heart is breaking.
There's just a time when caring too much only leads to pain... and you can't care anymore. Not even love.
Discovering Love Intimately
If God hasn't shown you yet the right person to be with, don't worry, lahat ng kaldero may nakalaang takip. Just wait, hindi naman requirement ng buhay ang pagkakaroon nga girlfriend or boyfriend.

Jackie Rice Bashed for Social Experiment of Wish Ko Lang: Go Beyond the Surface
The released video (whether a market strategy or whatnot) of Jackie Rice castigating and demeaning an old lady has gone viral, getting mix reactions from netizens. According to the disclaimer (of the original uploader), the video was part of Wish Ko Lang's social experiment to look for a good samaritan.
In a released statement, Wish Ko Lang states:
Pero bago mag-react, ang tagpong ito ay isa lamang social experiment na nilatag ng Wish Ko Lang! Ano kaya ang gagawin ng mga makakasaksi nito, kuhanan sa cellphone ang galit na artista at i-upload sa social media? O pumagitna at ayusin ang problema?
With the reactions of several netizens, I want to discuss few things.
A. Social Experiment
A social experiment seeks to know the thoughts, emotions and behavior of human subjects regarding a specific stimulus (scenario, action, or condition).
Some netizens cried why this kind of experiment that would just generate negative comments and reactions. The social experiment is always a two-edged one. Positive and negative. For a simple reason: human subjects.
If social experiments will only generate positive comments or reactions, then it defeats the purpose. It must be able to show the behavior of people in “regular” interactions or day-to-day situations. To cry that Wish Ko Lang goes beyond the norm is wrong, out of context, and even superficial. The social experiment was a success because it fires up something – negative and positive.
B. Double Standard – Degrading and Demeaning People is Always WRONG
There are those who say that to castigate an old lady like that is wrong, or even immoral. While I definitely agree that such action is wrong, immoral, and not worthy of being human, I don't definitely agree on the message these reactions carry: It is okay to castigate anybody provided that they are not old ladies.
Let us be clear with this. Regardless of age, gender, race, status in life, education, and other dividing categories, TO DEMEAN, DEGRADE, or in any way SHAME a person is WRONG.
This means that while netizens are aghast and are crying foul over what Jackie Rice did in the social experiment, to bash Jackie Rice (which is foremost uncalled for) is DOUBLE STANDARD. Is it okay to bash and demean Jackie Rice because she is not an old lady? NO.
Simply, let us be clear with our reactions or actions. We may defend an angle but we fail to have real CONVICTIONS and PRINCIPLES.
C. Ask, Inquire, Know, Conclude
(Assume. All are acquainted with the scientific method.) The scientific method shows that conclusion is the last part of the process. Why? Conclusions are made only when proper observation, complete knowledge, and all angles are already taken into account. There is no short cuts. (Though we love copying chemistry experiments; why not? They are really hard to fathom.)
This is also true with life. When we see something, we cannot just judge. We need to ask. Why was she slapped? Why was he gunned?And more whys. If you see two people fighting and the other guy shoot the one on the ground, what do you know? You only know that a person has been shot and all details pertaining to it. Nothing else. You cannot say that the one who shoot the guy on the ground is a criminal. That would be hasty. What if the guy on the ground owned the gun and it was but self defense? There are several angles to know and understand.
If only we read and ask more, we will all know that it was but for a show, a social experiment. It could have made the difference.
Never judge without knowing all facts.
Final Words
Emotions may sometime put us in a tin can. It is hard to move, hard to think, hard to be sensible. When we allow our emotions to rule us, our wit leaves us.
Rage. People kill because of emotions. And after: I don't know what I did, I was very angry. I did not mean to. This is just the extreme side. (I am an extremist when it comes to scenario building.)
To be kind to people is foremost of all. It is to be humane because we are humans. This is not a requirement. This is nature. Let us remember that being human means being humane to ALL, not to just a few, not just when we are not the ones doing it.
There are times we just ignore the old man lying in the street. Right?
There are times we bash a former friend because of some “talks”. Right?
There are times we just raise our brows when someone, something we don't like. Right?
We all live with these prejudices and mistakes. Guilty as charged. It is just time to learn. Live.
There.
Ethical Contribution: Social Responsibility and Saudi Arabia
Ethical Contribution: Social Responsibility and Saudi Arabia
Introduction
In today's business environment, one of the most important issues is corporate social responsibility or CSR. According to Bueble (2009), CSR can be defined by looking at what the organization is responsible for and what are the things that motivate them to do it. For Vogel as qtd in Bueble, 2009) defined CSR as the "policies and programs of private firms that go beyond legal requirements as a response to public pressures and social expectations (4)." This definition illustrates CSR as the commitment of the organization to do what is not required of them, but what they are expected of them. The government sets forth the guideline and regulation for the basic concerns that should be done by the organization, but CSR is more than the guideline of the government, it is all about the expectation of the society.
While on the other hand, Cramer & Bergmans (2003) define CSR as "the conscious focusing of the company's activities on long-term value creation in three dimensions: profit, people, and planet (114)." Instead of devaluing CSR as a separate division of the company or organization, CSR is attached and embedded to the operations of the business for the achievement of goals and objectives affecting the three dimensions. Of course, the primary concern of the organization is to generate profit or economic return. But along with this goal, it is necessary to ensure that activities or operations of the business provide safety to the people inside and outside the organization. And of course, the environment is another area of concern. Business operations must comply with the basic requirement for environmental sustainability – and organizations should take more than just what are expected of them for environmental protection.
Nonetheless, United Nations Institute for Training and Research or UNITAR (2013) further defined CSR as the incorporation of social and environmental purposes and objectives into the day-to-day operations of the business. It is impossible to separate the business operation from the impact of CSR. By keeping the operations of the business in alignment with the CSR, it is easy for the organization to meet demands and purposes of stakeholders. Simply, CSR in today's context is more than just corporate philanthropy, but it is the coordination of ethical values and respect for people, and the high regard to the environment and society. This broader definition of CSR sets forth the scope of CSR for organizations to look for and ensure that their responsibility is equated with their power.
In this paper, I will be reviewing the corporate social responsibility of Saudi Arabia, using five Saudi Arabia-based companies as the primary references. This analysis will look at the commitment of the organization to improve life of the people, ensure sustainability of the environment, and promote the best welfare of all stakeholders. It is necessary to note that when western corporations look for ways with the role in the society, Middle Eastern companies are way far behind with regards to the proper perception on CSR (Ronnegard, 2013).
Construction Products Holding Company; CPC
According to the Arabian News (2013), the Construction Products Holding Company (CPC) had been recognized for its "role a national company is to ensure that their CSR program enhances the development of the society that they are part of." In the same manner, the company also receive the Corporate Social Responsibility award from the ITP Group of the Arabian Business for the year 2011. These awards and recognitions given to CPC are statements of how the company regards their role and responsibility in the society.
Part of the CSR initiatives of CPC is the youth training programs for individuals who want to learn about the construction industry and all materials, specifications, and manuals that are necessary in this industry (CPC, 2012). Youths are allowed to work in factories of CPC as a commitment of the company's policy to ensure that Saudi Arabian youths know the industry that has an important place to the development of the nation. Simply, CPC works within the education setting for their CSR initiatives. With this initiative, demand for manpower is always met to ensure that the industry gets the necessary support for its growth.
The explanation of the social and ethical contribution of CPC can be traced to the political theories of CSR. Political theories of CSR works on the principle that the power of the organization has a certain level of responsibility. This cements the idea of correlation "between business and society and on the power and position of business and its inherent responsibility (Garriga & Mele, 2004, p. 5)." Following the axiom of this theory, it is to say that CSR becomes an accomplished objective. It simply says that because the company or business is part of the society and that actions of any entity of the society affects each other, it is necessary for business to use power responsibly, either for its own benefit or the benefit of consumers.
Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC)
According to the CSR Middle East (2013), Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) sponsored a training course for the Charity Committee for Orphans Care (ENSAN). The goal of the training is to help personnel of the company to handle or provide multidimensional services to orphans. This will include a training on how to support orphans, on how to build support for them, and how to ensure that they live in a world that will foster their growth and development.
The CSR of SABIC can be considered as truism of ethical theory of CSR. Ethical theories on CSR become the focal point of today's business environment. This is anchored on doing the right thing for the best purpose, rather than allowing businesses to do what they want to achieve their goals. These theories center on the idea of check and balance, respect, and adherence to the norms of the time. It should be that the interest of the organization reflect the legitimate and right interest of stakeholders without hindering the achievement or accomplishment of the interest of the common good. This becomes the fundamental framework most organizations follow in their definition of CSR to ensure that all stakeholders and interests are given attention and are properly addressed.
Looking at SABIC, we can see a wide gap between the nature of the company and that of their CSR. There is a small fraction, or not at all, of benefit that can be derived by a company that works with chemicals, industrial polymers, and other industrial products from an initiative that involve orphans. Therefore, the initiative can be defined as being of “policies and programs of private firms that go beyond legal requirements as a response to public pressures and social expectations (Bueble, 2009).”
Saudi Aramco
On the other hand, we can trace the value of integrative theory of social responsibility with the way Saudi Aramco responds to the demand of the society. Integrative theories follow the order that business depends on society for its growth, continuity, and development, as such business has inherent responsibility toward society (Gond, et.al., 2010). This means that the society defines the roles of the business, rather than the business defining the society. In this regard, the public opinion becomes an important part to the direction that the business should take. Looking closely, this becomes a truism of the practice today. CSR is more defined on what the society needs at the moment and not on what the business sees the society needs.
Due to the fact that Saudi Aramco is a national company with stakes on important industries such as gas and oil and with a gigantic worth of $10 trillion according to the Financial Times, the organization has great influence in the society (Oxford Business Group, 2009). It must be noted that with a company that has a great influence in the society, the responsibility is also very broad. At the moment, the company has initiatives in the economic growth of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in local communities, in educational setting, and in innovation for the protection of the environment (Saudi Arabian Oil Co., 2012).
Looking closely at the integrative theory of social responsibility, we can see that Saudi Aramco has great dependency on the value of the society as the primary factor in its growth. For companies that are involved in activities that involve people, the welfare of the people is central to them. On the other hand, Saudi Aramco understands its environmental responsibility for its continuity and growth and they translated this responsibility into the CSR initiative. It must be noted that although Saudi Aramco started the CSR move for the future direction of the Kingdom, there are several things that should be considered [as discussed in next companies].
National Commercial Bank
As much as the goal of CSR is to promote the common good or “policies and programs of private firms that go beyond legal requirements as a response to public pressures and social expectations (Bueble, 2009),” it is important to note that CSR policy may not really hit the tune of ethical contributions. As per consideration, the National Commercial Bank (NCB) won 'Saudi CSR in the category of Supporting Entrepreneurs and Small Enterprises' from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Of course, we need to note that NCB works its best to achieve such recognition from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry; however, there are questions as to the ethical contribution or CSR of the initiative.
Looking back at the definition of CSR, we find the initiative not going “beyond legal requirements as a response to public pressures and social expectations.” The company is just working within the limits and bounds as it is expected. Of course, NCB is expected to promote and support small enterprises as part of its strategy to expand operations, but we can't find it going beyond what is expected of it.
In this standpoint, CSR becomes instrumental only in the creation of wealth and generation of the same. As such, even the philanthropic activities or investments of the company should be in accordance to the value of return of investments or profits in the future. In this theory of instrumental CSR, the organization does not have any obligation or responsibility in a sense, but the organization has interest on the society only when self-enlightened (Esposito, 2009). This means that the organization should not drag the entire stakeholder of the organization to provide CSR, but it should be that the organization maximizes profit for stakeholders to provide the necessary CSR. As much as NCB works on its CSR initiatives, these initiatives are geared toward the direct support of activities and operations that will yield profits to the organization in the future.
ACWA Power
Going to the same direction with the National Commercial Bank, ACWA Power's CSR initiatives is deeply embedded in the educational development of the people. The organization works to hire Saudi Arabians over others. This means that the organization looks forward to the welfare of the people because it believes that the people support the company. There are also graduate programs given to employees for them to grow and there are also new initiatives to create youth programs (ACWA Power, 2013).
Although the organization works to promote a CSR for educational development, we also have a problem with the intent of this initiative. While Construction Products Holding Company (CPC) works with training programs for youths, but they they still get impact, the ACWA Power initiative is purely internal. The CSR works for the benefit of the people within so that they can work well for the benefit of the organization.
The CSR initiative can be reviewed within the range of instrumental theory because it seeks only to work best for its direction. But we can also say that this is under the political theory of CSR because its seeks to deliver the best people for job within an industry that affects the entire Kingdom if a single failure is made.
Suggestions to Promote Social Responsibility
As much as the following issues have been analyzed, it is necessary for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to push for the following for improvement of its ethical and social contributions:
- Government. Of course, King Abdullah has called for a proper CSR, and not just making CSR a rhetoric within the business environment (Baker, 2013). However, it is necessary for the government to formulate the base of CSR. As much as CSR is going beyond the requirement, the government should set the requirements. By setting regulations on CSR, the government can enforce awareness and involvement.
- Translate the Change to Smaller Companies. With the five companies cited, we find that the CSR of KSA is purely among big companies. It is the time for the CSR to be translated among small companies. It is impossible to create bigger impacts without the aid of all those within the business environment. It must be noted that not only big companies have the responsibility toward the society. Rather, the entire business environment, including all small companies, have the responsibility toward the people, to the society, and to the environment. It is very important that members of the business environment and all stakeholders have a say on CSR. This is not just an isolated initiative, but it is an initiative that encompasses size of companies, nature of industry, and even preference of management.
- Investigate CSR of Companies. Another problem that has caused tremendous drawback and pitfalls to CSR is the lack of legal framework for requirement (first suggestion) and the lack of effort to investigate companies, regardless of size, with regards to CSR. Of course, CSR is a choice of organizations by going beyond the requirement, but it is still necessary to properly investigate them, whether they join forums or not. The inclusive nature of CSR is a ground for the investigation of the initiatives being made by organizations.
- Foster Associative Initiatives. Organizations are always free to choose what CSR policy they want to adopt. However, due to this, the CSR may not work for best of the society. For instance, there is always a need to respond to wrongful violence against women, but companies do not act on it. By fostering relationship with other organizations, companies in KSA can work on CSR initiatives that will promote the biggest impact on the society. Rather than focusing on self-centered CSR policies, an integrated CSR framework can target what the society really needs, as discussed above on integrative theory of CSR.
Conclusion
The goal of most CSR policies is not actually to promote the common good of mankind or the society. Rather, the main purpose of CSR is to project a strong corporate image of good behavior and character. Instead of providing for the needs of the millions, organizations are looking for ways on how to come up with a good image that increase their value in the market. This is a backward perception of corporate social responsibility, and not really on its way to the truism of the principle of ethical contribution.
In reality, CSR is only but a theory and policy. Perhaps, instrumental theory and social capital theory are more proper to be used to explain CSR. CSR policies are focused on the maximization of profits and on how organizations can benefit from their CSR. In the implementation and application of real CSR commitment, the government should be the first motivator and mover. In fact, in water democracy, the government is expected to act for the welfare of the people. Rather than wait for private organizations to adopt a CSR policy that really translates the welfare of the people, it is time for the government to do its part by imposing the rules on how CSR should be implemented.
Second, it must be clear that the goal of business which is to make money should not come in priority against the need of promoting the common good of the people. Rather, it is necessary for organizations to create CSR that would empower the society's populace so that they can become members of the market. Lastly, CSR should not be about how the business can get something in the future, but how they can improve society itself. When CSR becomes more focused on the people, the society receives the best reward and results, and this generates a ripple on other components of the society to benefit all.

The Russian Experience Management
The Russian Experience Management
Ted & Harry Russia's Success
The definition of success is associated with the effectiveness of the organization in attaining the goal. From this standpoint, we can say that Ted & Harry Russia was successful in its business experimentation in Russia. First, Ten & Harry's focus is social responsibility and not just to make profit for the business, although it is an important part of the organization's survival in the market. Second, the goal of the organization in launching a branch in Russia is based on the idea that “international peace could be promoted through cooperative business ventures.” Contemplating on these two criteria, Ted & Harry Russia was successful in promoting its social responsibility and it successfully cemented a relationship with Russian local partners. Although there were series of distrust during the course of the operation, in the end they were able to patch it up and part in good terms. Russian local partners were able to know about the ice cream industry as taught by Ted & Harry and the organization also learned better about Russian business culture.
Perhaps, an important part of success judgment of Ted & Harry Russia is the way it kept the corporate ethics despite of the challenges in the new business culture. As much as we see that Ten & Harry's culture cannot survive in Russia, we have seen that it can surpass it. This is an element that proves that Ted & Harry Russia remained successful in its business experimentation.
However, if we look at the efficiency of the management in running the business, we see the pitfalls and not its success. The company failed to use its resources efficiently to ensure low waste and high results or high attainment. It is impossible to ignore that large capital loss of the organization with the Russia venture. In this standpoint, Ted & Harry Russia failed to deliver its potential ROI.
Failure of Ted & Harry Russia
Ted & Harry US failed to acknowledge several factors that led to the downfall of the Russia venture. The following are some of the problems or mistakes:
Resistance to Change. Change is a very important part of the business, but the organization failed to be flexible. Instead of changing the nature of the ice cream products, from chunky to smooth, or changing the operations from single chunky to mixed chunky and smooth ice cream products, the Ted & Harry Russia management remained adamant in acknowledging that Russian loved smooth ice cream. Globalization is an important part of management and the Russia management failed to acknowledge the need to analyze the people and culture of their market.
Organizational Culture. I have noted above that Ted & Harry Russia kept the corporate's ethics, and I don't have any intent to change that point of importance. However, by choosing an American overall manager, Ted & Harry US failed to understand that locals can better run the business because they know the market. Although the overall decision-making was shared, but the organization was ripped between the Russian way and the American way. In fact, the political scenario proved to be more difficult to handle and additional expenses must be catered.
Partnership. Ted & Harry Russia could have won the hearts of Russians with the unique chunky ice cream, but the problem of low quality due to unreliable suppliers, low delivery due to transportation problem, and such factors caused tremendous drawback. It could have been that Ted & Harry Russia partnered with suppliers, transportation provider, and such other related services. It is easier for the company to foster results among local distributors than to play risks with suppliers and transportation services. For a very unstable market and environment, Ted & Harry Russia failed to secure the most vital aspects of the operation.
Possible Recommendations for Ted & Harry Russia
There are several areas and actions that could have been considered by Ted & Harry Russia to avoid the pitfalls and problems encountered. Here are some of the most important ones:
- Choose partners with core competencies that can be used as assets than liabilities. As much as Ted & Harry US can remain as the strategic manager of the business, it is necessary to find people who can serve as operational and tactical managers. These are people who must understand the market environment for they will be the ones to execute the plan of the organization. Ted & Harry chose people who only have the minds and don't have the skill and experience. Ted & Harry US already have the minds after successful venture in the US, what the company needed are people who can translate those strategies into actions, who knows the ins and outs of Russia business culture. As noted in above section, it could have been the Ted & Harry chose suppliers and transportation providers as partners.
- Change in culture and attitude. When the organization fails to understand the market, it fails on all. After the initial try of using the resources to produce chunky ice cream, Ted & Harry could have changed to work on “customer service” satisfaction. An organization should always keep in mind what customers want and not what the organization wants to force. It is not an easy to introduce new products and change the culture of the market, but Ted & Harry could have done it gradually. By producing smooth ice cream as it creates hype on chunky ice cream, Ted & Harry could have ensure steady revenue to finance its chunky ice cream operations. Moreover, the attitude of not hearing any suggestion for growth strategy left the company stuck with its former glories. Rather than change and maintain growth, the company remained the same and failed.
- Strategic acknowledgment could have been changed. Two years of market experiment is too much, even a year of failure is more than enough. But Ted & Harry endured this, rather than moving on and finding ways. When an organization fails to see itself in transformation within the shortest time, it fails. In essence, the management of the organization fails to do its part to ensure growth within time frame.
