Introduction
In the contemporary world human society is characterised by a very complicated structure and naturally this leads to the variety of organisations existing in one and the same society. in such a situation the role of social groups is particularly significant since it provides the opportunities for the members of such groups to be in a privileged position compared to those people who do not belong to any social group. At this respect, it should be pointed out that organisations play a very important role in structurisation of the society since nowadays the role of organisations has increased dramatically. It is obvious that there is a variety of organisations which may be extremely influential, for instance multinational corporations which operate all over the world and national borders as well as laws are not a significant obstacle on their way of development and as a rule their strive for higher revenues and monopolistic position in the market. Unfortunately the development of such organisations is quite rapid and seems to be unstoppable that in the constantly progressing world is quite dangerous because such organisations threaten to undermine the basic principles of civil society since there is no international structure that could really control them. This is why often it is thought that there are less and less organisations that protects the interests of all citizens, especially the most deprived ones. Fortunately, there are still some organisations that aim at the protection of rights and interests of such groups of people and basically such organisations are known as non-profitable. In order to better such organisation, their structure, work, aims, and their social role, it is necessary to analyse one of such organisations, namely Penny Lane in North Hills, Ca.
