Complete 6 page APA formatted essay: Benefit cuts, what impact/effect is it creating in a big society.

Most welfare benefits were restricted to an increase of one percent annually.

The benefit cuts and austerity measures led to various problems to the poor members of the society. More and more societies are now turning to food aid to meet their food needs. The cost of food and fuel are now rising as the poor are unable to meet their heating and food requirements. Children are becoming hungrier, living in poorer conditions, and lacking their basic needs as parents cut on various commodities to afford food and fuel. Poor people are also living in cold rooms because they are unable to pay for their heating bills. They are paying more rent while others are forced to remain homeless because their house allowances have been cut. The gap between the rich and the poor is also widening as the tax of the rich is reduced while at the same time the benefits of the poor are cut. These measures are against the purpose of the Big Society because the concerns and freedom of the big society are suppressed rather than empowering them.

The Big Society idea was developed in 2010 through the Conservative manifesto in order to devolve power to the lowest level and encourage community engagement and social renewal (Coote, 2010). This programme was intended to reframe the role of the society and arouse a new entrepreneurial spirit. It included plans to establish a Big Society Bank and a national citizen service. One of the priorities of this programme was to give communities more power through devolution and encourage people to play active role in their communities through volunteerism. Through the programme, power was transferred from the central to local government. The programme also supported cooperatives, mutuals, social enterprises and charities. Functions that used to be undertaken by the government using taxes have been transferred to the civil society and exercised through self-help, charity, mutual aid, local enterprise, philanthropy

The macro-environment of an organization refers to those factors, which are not concerned with the immediate environment of the business. The factors are external and do not directly affect the marketing decision of the company but it indirectly influences the marketing decision.

The political and legal climates are less predictable elements in an organization’s marketing environment. Sound marketing decisions cannot be taken without understanding the changes in the political environment of the nation, the government agencies, political parties in power, and in opposition and their ideologies.

An organization based in the UK enjoys a favorable condition in terms of infrastructure and other facilities. The government in the UK encourages free trade and the economy is quite sound. The country is technologically advanced and the marketing conditions are favorable for both investment and lending.&nbsp.
