Looking Back: Donate-It! https://student-activity.binus.ac.id/bibs/2021/09/05/looking-back-donate-it/ Sun, 05 Sep 2021 14:11:34 +0000 http://student-activity.binus.ac.id/bibs/?p=349 Hi there!

 

We at BIBS have recently completed this year’s Donate It! Goal of donating COVID-19 tests to those we consider needy, in specific this year, we donated to Yayasan Sekar Mawar.

 

This event was not without its problems, we had tried to contact them several times and had only gotten through after several months. Once the contact issue was done, there was the case of donations, as we had just barely made it to the donation goal.

However, we did pull through in the end, and we successfully donated the tests with no hindrances.

While this event has ended, the next event (Big Brain) is coming up soon, so stay tuned for that!

Donate-It! https://student-activity.binus.ac.id/bibs/2021/05/31/donate-it/ Mon, 31 May 2021 11:08:01 +0000 http://student-activity.binus.ac.id/bibs/?p=338 Hi Binusians!

We at the Binus International Business Society are proud to present this year’s Donate-It event!

Donate-It is a fundraising event that will be conducted by BIBS. As a college student we would like to raise awareness and support against COVID-19. Fundraising event aids in the development of interpersonal partnerships. It helps us feel wanted in the community, which is particularly crucial for building trust in people with learning disabilities. Organizing or engaging in a fundraising event will greatly aid in the development of leadership skills. Any effort, no matter how large or small, makes a difference. Participating in a fundraising event will help us develop new things, such as how to draw participants to the event, how to support it, or how to accept responsibility for the position we have been assigned. And most importantly, it help us to contribute for a good cause.

This year’s Donate-It event will have the theme of helping those vulnerable to COVID-19, we will work together with Yayasan Sekar Mawar to provide their residents with rapid test kits to help find out and contain the spread of COVID-19.

Yayasan Sekar Mawar is a social foundation under the supervision of the Bandung Diocese which is engaged in overcoming the problem of drug abuse (Narcotics, Psychotropics, and other addictive substances), or otherwise known as a drug rehabilitation centre. This foundation was established out of compassion and concern for a situation, namely the growing number of victims of substance trafficking in the city, especially among the younger generation. Drugs and their consequences have been seen to kill the joints of life as well as the future of people, households, and cultures. Addressing the issue of opioid addiction is now the responsibility of all aspects of society, not just the government. Sekar Mawar Foundation aims to help by rehabilitating opioid addicts through the Rehabilitation Center and avoiding systemic drug addiction through group socialization. Sekar Mawar Foundation was formed in 2000 by clergy and community leaders in the Bandung Diocese, the name SEKAR MAWAR Foundation was given by the Bishop of Bandung at that time, the late. Mgr. Alexander Djajasiswaya.

Currently, we are accepting donations at the following BCA account: 5450253598

For more information, please don’t hesitate to contact us at @binus.bibs or through this WhatsApp number (081284282533)

We hope you will consider donating!

Resources, scarcity and how it affects you. https://student-activity.binus.ac.id/bibs/2021/04/23/resources-scarcity-and-how-it-affects-you/ Fri, 23 Apr 2021 01:32:43 +0000 http://student-activity.binus.ac.id/bibs/?p=335 “Finite resources, unlimited wants”, is a basic economic problem that the world faces regularly, as the human population continues to increase, the issue of resource allocation of finite resources, especially ones that are non-renewable such as fossil fuels and oil becomes more of a pressing issue, as these resources are used to ensure basic functionality of a modern society. 

 

With the continued depletion of Earth’s non-renewable resources, the management and distribution of resources have come to be even more important as it affects the price and continued availability of said goods, discounting the efforts to shift to renewable sources. Nations have tried to seek and attain resources at any cost necessary as a result, especially for non-renewable goods, an example is how oil has been highly sought after by many nations, with the war in Iraq by the United States is widely believed to be for oil and more recently, China has been said to invest heavily in the Middle East and North African regions for a number of reasons and resources, with oil being one of them.

 

The aforementioned example of China has resulted in other countries, namely the United States and the region of Europe, as they don’t like that China is getting an edge over them in resources, the above is an example of the struggle of resources and how nations are willing to go to lengths to attain resources they want.

 

The constant struggle and efforts to attain resources and its effects do not stop at just countries and their governments, but the people of said nations are also affected. While scarcity of resources could mean more common, but still potentially devastating rises in price of the sought after good for example, it could also mean that, if your country is the one being targeted to gain the goods and resources from, the people may have to suffer as a result from the ambition of other nations if they are kept unchecked, as these ambitions could result in further conflict and perhaps, war.

 

It is important to understand this basic problem of economics of “Finite resources, unlimited wants”, as it is the very core of economics, as trade happens as a result of wanting a certain good or service, typically to solve a desire or need. The more we understand this concept, we can then understand the causes for many conflicts in the world and we as the next generation, should aim to fix it by cooperation in distribution, while everybody might not be getting the resource amount that they would want, but it would be better than having a country have a disproportionate amount of resources and having inequality in the amount of needed resources.

Looking Back: “Business Survival: Pandemic Edition” https://student-activity.binus.ac.id/bibs/2021/04/22/looking-back-business-survival-pandemic-edition/ Thu, 22 Apr 2021 07:01:54 +0000 http://student-activity.binus.ac.id/bibs/?p=327

On 6 April 2021, we at BIBS organized a “BIBSTalk” event, where speakers are invited to share their experiences and answer questions, so that we at Binus University may gain insightful knowledge.

The topic of the event can be seen below:

Business Survival: Pandemic edition talk show will be focusing on how can we expand our business knowledge based on the speaker’s background in Management, Communication, and Marketing, as well as what can we learn during this pandemic situation

The speakers consisted of Binus University alumni, Fadel Assegaf, who is the CEO of Diamond Weddings and Dewi Marsella Achmad, who has experience as a Research and Project Development intern at the Center for Indonesian Policy Studies.

As it was our first event, there were many things that we felt could have been better. Nonetheless, the event ran quite smoothly.

This will not be the only event we will be holding this year, as we plan to hold many other events.

Stay tuned for updates concerning upcoming events!
