Company Types in Ukraine
Ltd.
The most popular business legal form in Ukraine is Ltd. This type of companies is registered on a standard chart and in the earliest possible dates. The founders of Ltd. can be naturales persons or/and legal persons (residents or/and non-residents). Thus founders do not carry responsibility for a company and actions of its public servants, and their possible losses are limited to the size of part in share capital. Limited companies can conduct practically any types of activity, including licensed. An alike types of companies in Europe is GMBH (in Germany, Switzerland, Austria) and Ltd. (in England).Company with foreign investments and Foreign company. From recent time, the Ukrainian legislation does not select CFI (no less than 10 % foreign capital) and FC, as a separate legal form of business. Investor with any percent of foreign capital in share capital of Ltd., JSC or another kind of business, can count on defence of the capital, government assistance and unimpeded conclusion. In addition, foreign investors have other advantages during realization of export-import operations and organization of business in Ukraine. However, companies with foreign capital can not practicale in some types of activity, the list of which is officially ratified of government.
Joint-stock company
Joint-stock companies in Ukraine can be public (PJSC) and private (PrJSC) types. This type of companies has a great number of analogues in the whole world. Mainly, JSC are created for a bank, insurance and other financial types of activity, and also for organization of activity of large production capacities and enterprises with the closed loop of production.
The Ukrainian legislation selects also some other legal forms of business: NP SB (a natural person is a subject of business); PE (private enterprise, company with the simplified system of registration, legal relationships of founders practically are not well-regulated); complete society, society with additional responsibility.
Representative office
It is separately possible to select such form of business in Ukraine, as a representative office of foreign company. Status of representative offices allows to get the row of additional tax and custom deductions, and also to use other advantages for work in Ukraine.

Partnership
A partnership is an arrangement where entities and/or individuals agree to cooperate to advance their interests. In the most frequent instance, a partnership is formed between one or more businesses in which partners (owners) co-labor to achieve and share profits or losses.
Partnerships are also frequent regardless of and among sectors. Non-profit organizations, for example, may partner together to increase the likelihood of each achieving their mission. Governments may partner with other governments to achieve their mutual goals, as may religious and political organizations. In education, accrediting agencies increasingly evaluate schools by the level and quality of their partnerships with other schools and across sectors. Partnerships also occur at personal levels, such as when two or more individuals agree to domicile together. Partnerships between governments, interest-based organizations, schools, businesses, and individuals, or some combination thereof, have always been and remain commonplace.
Partnerships have widely varying results and can present partners with special challenges. Levels of give-and-take, areas of responsibility, lines of authority, and overarching goals of the partnership must all be negotiated. While partnerships stand to amplify mutual interests and success, some are considered ethically problematic, or at least debatable. When a politician, for example, partners with a corporation to advance the corporation's interest in exchange for some benefit, a conflict of interest may make the partnership problematic from the standpoint of the public good. Developed countries often strongly regulate certain partnerships via anti-trust laws, so as to to inhibit monopolistic practices and foster free market competition.
Among developed countries, business partnerships are often favored over corporations in taxation policy, since dividend taxes only occur on profits before they are distributed to the partners. However, depending on the partnership structure and the jurisdiction in which it operates, owners of a partnership may be exposed to greater personal liability than they would as shareholders of a corporation.
Cooperation
Cooperation, co-operation or coöperation is the process of working or acting together, which can be accomplished by both intentional and non-intentional agents. In its simplest form it involves things working in harmony, side by side, while in its more complicated forms, it can involve something as complex as the inner workings of a human being or even the social patterns of a nation. It is the alternative to working separately in competition. Cooperation can also be accomplished by computers, which can handle shared resources simultaneously, while sharing processor timeю
Cooperative systems
Cooperation, more formally speak is how the components of a system work together to achieve the global properties. In other words, individual components that appear to be “selfish” and independent work together to create a highly complex, greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts system. Examples can be found all around us. The components in a cell work together to keep it living. Cells work together and communicate to produce multicultural organisms. Organisms form food chains and ecosystems. People form families, gangs, cities and nations. Neurons create thought and consciousness. Atoms cooperate in a simple way, by combining to make up molecules. Understanding the mechanisms that create cooperating agents in a system is one of the most important and least well understood phenomena in nature, though there has not been a lack of effort. Individual action on behalf of a larger system may be coerced (forced), voluntary (freely chosen), or even unintentional, and consequently individuals and groups might act in concert even though they have almost nothing in common as regards interests or goals. Examples of that can be found in market trade, military wars, families, workplaces, schools and prisons, and more generally any institution or organization of which individuals are part (out of own choice, by law, or forced).

Business
A business (also known as a company, enterprise, and firm) is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods or services, or both, to consumers, businesses and governmental entities.[1] Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies. Most businesses are privately owned. A business is typically formed to earn profit that will increase the wealth of its owners and grow the business itself. The owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for work and acceptance of risk. Notable exceptions include cooperative enterprises and state-owned enterprises. Businesses can also be formed not-for-profit or be state-owned.
The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society as a whole, doing commercially viable and profitable work. The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the singular usage (above) to mean a particular company or corporation, the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, such as "the music business" and compound forms such as agribusiness, or the broadest meaning to include all activity by the community of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate and complexity of meanings.
Basic forms of ownership
Although forms of business ownership vary by jurisdiction, there are several common forms:
· Sole proprietorship: A sole proprietorship is a business owned by one person. The owner may operate on his or her own or may employ others. The owner of the business has personal liability of the debts incurred by the business.
· Partnership: is a form of business in which two or more people operate for the common goal which is often making profit. In most forms of partnerships, each partner has personal liability of the debts incurred by the business. There are three typical classifications of partnerships: general partnerships, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships.
· Corporation: is either a [limited liability|limited] or unlimited liability entity that has a separate [legal personality] from its members. A corporation can be organized for-profit or not-for-profit. A corporation is owned by multiple shareholders and is overseen by a board of directors, which hires the business's managerial staff. In addition to privately owned corporate models, there are state-owned corporate models.
· Cooperative: Often referred to as a "co-op", a cooperative is a limited liability entity that can organize for-profit or not-for-profit. A cooperative differs from a corporation in that it has members, as opposed to shareholders, who share decision-making authority. Cooperatives are typically classified as either consumer cooperatives or worker cooperatives. Cooperatives are fundamental to the ideology of economic democracy.

Social Pedagogy
(“...Social What?!”)
By Caitlyn Lehmann,
SOON Editor,
St Luke’s Innovative Resources
Every so often, we like to gaze out from the
crow’s nest of the Good Ship Innovative
Resources to ponder the future directions
of human service work and education. One
recent muse upon the briny brought to
our attention the growing interest in social
pedagogy. In the UK, official and public
concerns about the failures of the children’s
welfare system have prompted authorities to
take a fresh look at alternative approaches.
Social pedagogy, already well-established
throughout Europe, has been one of these,
attracting UK practitioners with its holistic
model of care. In the last handful of years,
the first specialist degrees in social pedagogy
have been launched by universities there—
and where Britain goes, so, too, often enough,
Australia follows.
So let’s spin the wheel hard to starboard and a
take a closer look at this not-so-new approach.
What is this rather awkward-sounding ‘Social
Pedagogy’? Well, it is often described as
‘education in the broadest sense.’ It’s an
approach that stresses the upbringing of
children as the shared responsibility of parents
and society, and recognises that children’s
care requires something more than simply
meeting children’s biological and psychological
needs. You might say it’s about offering
children quality of life, rather than just the bare
essentials needed to get by in our society.
In English, of course, ‘pedagogy’ is usually—
narrowly—defined as the ‘science of teaching
and learning’. Ask the experts, and they’ll
tell you that social pedagogy is problematic
precisely because, as a concept, it doesn’t
translate neatly into English. Being a ‘social
pedagogue’ is somewhere between being a
child’s teacher and carer. It’s the person who
takes responsibility for supporting a child’s
overall development, and who does so by
building a meaningful relationship with the
child and valuing the contributions of family
members, other professionals and the wider
community.
Partly because of this, social pedagogy
has often been regarded as a model best
suited to the care of children in residential
settings. Here in Australia, the approach has
sometimes been dismissed because of our
alternative emphasis on foster care. These
days, however, a growing pool of research is
highlighting social pedagogy’s relevance and
benefits to both forms of care. Indeed, with
its stress on relationships, inclusiveness, and
entwined care and education, social pedagogy
has its attractions for professionals across a
broad range of disciplines.
For teachers in our schools, who face daily
conflicts between their roles as carers and
educators of children, social pedagogy not
only recognises, but values, the essential
contribution teachers make to the ‘bringing
up’ of children. In an era when the scale of
public education is trending ever upwards—
with massed classes of 100+ students—the
principles of social pedagogy may be seen
to support teachers calling for the reform
of our ‘crowd control’ classrooms. The
approach restores emphasis to the significant
relationships teachers build with children and
the importance of listening and communicating
with children as individuals, as well as in
groups.
Right here at St Luke’s Innovative Resources,
we can’t help noticing the parallels between the
principles of social pedagogy and those of the
strengths-based approach that underpins our
publishing. Both recognise that children and
staff inhabit the same ‘lifespace’ rather than
separate hierarchical domains. As we might
say in strengths-based parlance, the emphasis
is on ‘power with’ rather than ‘power over’.
There are also striking similarities between the
role of the social pedagogue and the role of
the adult supporter described in our admired
publication by Ben Furman, Kids Skills—but
then perhaps that’s not a surprise: just like
social pedagogy, the Kids’ Skills method hails
from Europe (Finland to
be precise!).
So, will we soon hear the phase ‘social
pedagogy’ bandied around staffrooms and
board meetings? Will we hear people debating
the pronunciation of ‘pedagogy’ with a hard
or soft ‘g’? (Our dictionary says either is fine.)
Just possibly maybe. And if does happen, you’ll
find our resources, like Change by Design
and Name the Frame, ideal for helping your
organisation deal with the necessary changes
to policy and practice. You’ll also find our card
sets, from the bubbly Wonderful You to the
ever-popular Strength Cards, absolutely perfect
for any activity in which the priorities of care
and education come together.

PLUG-IN GENERATION
In an age when computer use is getting much attention from parents, educators and legislators, television remains the dominant medium for most kids. Children spend an average of 2 hours 46 minutes watching television eachday, with 17 percent of children spending more than five hours in front of the TV.Time spent on the computer lags far behind TV use, with the average for all children at 21 minutes a day outside school, including an average of eight minutes a day on the Internet...
Computers are a major technological breakthrough of the twentieth century. Their benefits are numerous yet much can be said against them. The main disadvantage of computers is that staring at a screen for long periods of time can be damaging to the eyes, and sitting on a chair for hours at a time is certainly not healthy. Secondly, computers distract people from conversation. Also, people can become anti-social and stay at home to use their computer. Finally, the strongest argument against the use of computers is that the more jobs which are done by computers, the less are done by people. .
However, the advantages of computers are numerous, such as educational benefits, especially to children. School subjects become more interesting when presented on a computer screen. Moreover, computers can be fun with a seemingly endless variety of games which can be played on them. In addition, computers are valuable to any business, making life easier and saving time because you can store and get back a lot of information at die touch of button. Furthermore, personal gains can be seen as the use of computers increases powers of concentration.
To sum up, there are strong arguments both for and against the use of computers. Yet, despite the health problems, risk to jobs and lack of personal communication, it seems that as long as the use of computers is regulated, the benefits computers provide to education and business are very important.
Legislator—законодатель; plug in— включить вилку в розетку; medium — средство (массовой информации); media (мн.ч.) — средства массовой информации; survey— обзор, изучение;lag—отставать; breakthrough—достижение, прорыв; benefits — зд. преимущества, положительные стороны; distract from — отвлекать от; variety of games — разнообразие игр

Advertising has always played in immense role in our society. Without advertising, the average consumer would not be able to be told what to buy. They would have nothing in their home, because no one told them to buy anything. It has become fact that advertising affects our daily lives everyday. "In 1915, a person could go entire weeks without observing an ad. The average adult today sees some three thousand every day" (Twitchell 203). This study is based on the Circuit City advertisement for their newly priced high definition plasma televisions. There are six televisions on the advertisement along with every television playing the new released Star Wars Episode III. Every advertisement should be analyzed with great detail, which is what this study includes. Included is a complete analysis of the prices of the television, the incorporation of the newly released Star Wars film, and the “weasel words” that promote the purchase of the new home entertainment system.
The consumers need to be entertained by television, newspaper, and internet has launched a new type of advertising. Advertisers are beginning to use famous entertainers in their advertisements so that people pay attention to them. Almost every advertisement that is seen today has somebody that the consumer will recognize. Whether it be a movie star, a comedian, athlete, or a reality television star, the advertiser will make sure that a percentage of the viewing audience knows that person. Not only do they attract our attention with the use of somebody famous, they also attract our trust. By seeing this person on television all the time and especially if you like this person, you feel comfortable with the product almost immediately without even knowing what it is or does.
