The proliferation of crises around the world has led to a prominent increase in the amount of humanitarian aid needed. Humanitarian aid work represents not only compassion, but commitment to support innocent populations that have experienced sudden or on-going tragedies. Some of these tragedies include: malnutrition, genocide, diseases, torture, poverty, war, natural disasters, government negligence, and unfortunately much more. There is no doubt that these tragedies are some of the world’s toughest problems to solve as they are often complex, multifaceted and require diligence and patience. For this reason, being a humanitarian aid worker is more than a profession, it is a lifestyle that requires a sharp distinction between one’s work and

Since 1947, Canada has deployed over 120,000 troops to dozens of countries around the world to aid with United Nations peacekeeping efforts. For almost seventy years we have, as a nation, sent our men and women to five continents, on more than fifty missions. Peacekeeping is part of who we are as Canadians, a part of our national identity. However, in the past decade, we have not participated in a single new UN peacekeeping mission. This is an embarrassment, considering the advantages of peacekeeping operations: They restore stability to regions, halt human rights violations, and even rescue civilians in mortal danger. With distinct benefits such as these, Canada must continue these incredibly important peacekeeping operations.

The interaction with a stakeholder and concerns a business operation use to understood CSR as the voluntary integration of environmental and social, but it has failed to discuss and analyse CSR explicitly from the perspective of stakeholders (Andriof et al,2002; Post et al,2002).
The American Refugee Committee (ARC) is an international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization. Everything we do begins with refugees. We know more than anyone, the struggles and challenges of refugees and their needs. We continuously try to make a difference in the lives of individuals that are escaping disasters and running from the results of wars. We provide basic human needs along with shelters, education, emergency relief, protection, and camp management. We are also pursuing new ways to solve problems and changing our work and asking for outside opinions for ways to improve. From refugees, to donors, and governments and businesses, all perspectives are important to us.

Humanitarian intervention is definitely one of the most controversial subjects of the recent decades- among states, international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and academia. The centre of the debate is the clash of traditional principles of state sovereignty and new adopted norms on use of force for humanitarian purposes. Despite the political controversies between the countries, humanitarian intervention is now an international norm which calls for action anytime there are serious mass life threatening occurrences in any country.

Business organizations regularly run into demands from various stakeholders groups when conducting day-to-day business. These demands are generated from employees, customers, suppliers, community groups, governments, and shareholders. Thus, according to Goodpaster, any person or group of people that can shape or can be shaped by attainment of the objectives by an organization is considered a stakeholder. Most business organizations recognize and understand their responsibilities to these groups and endeavor to honor and fulfill them. These responsibilities are often communicated to the public by a statement of principles or beliefs. For many business organizations, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an essential and integral part of their business. Thus, this paper discusses the two CSR views: the classical view and the stakeholder view. Furthermore, I believe that the stakeholder view has brought ethical concerns to the forefront of businesses, and an argument shall be made that businesses would improve both socially and economically if CSR, guided by God’s love, was integrated into their strategic planning.
