Starting a business, one may ask some questions to evaluate his or her ability to run a business successfully. An owner needs to question the finances, the challenges, the strengths, and weaknesses. First, the owners need to know finance: how much capital to startup business, what loans are available based on the business plan and financial statements, and how to keep up with profits and losses to determine the future of the business. Besides determining capital, the owners need to know what challenges they will face. Writing a well-executed business plan is the first challenge and important because it is a guideline to start business and to show lending institution or to attract investors for the business. Also, owners need to think who ideal customers are and who they can target to make a successful marketing strategy. Moreover, they have to think about their competitions because no business operates without competition whether it is direct or indirect.

The story of Omran Daqneesh and the Syrian war is irrelevant to my own life. I have never been in such an appalling and traumatizing situation such as having my house bombed by air strikes and being pulled out from under the rubble. I cannot possibly connect with the families that have to choose whether to risk death staying in your home country, or risk death attempting to flee to another country. As a fourteen year old freshman from Marblehead, I have never had to face such immense danger in my own home and community. I see what is going on in Syria on the news, and I have sympathy for the people who are going through this catastrophe, but I cannot relate their experiences with any of mine. The “over 18,000 civilians (that) have been killed

Integrity follows the Catholic Church beliefs and helps in making moral decisions as JT Koffenberger, the writer of “Missions and Values” on the Holy Family University Website states.

Since we are given these values to understand and follow we should apply these values to everything in the world around us. One thing that integrity can help with is making a plan to stop the terrorist group ISIS from continuing to hurt innocent individuals.
