Studies have shown that the idea of cover dates back to ancient times. It is known, for example, that the ancient Egyptians insured cargo shipped from one destination to another. The basic idea of cover is to guard against, or protect against, monetary loss of a product or object. The potential loss could occur during transit, or while stationary. The cost of this insurance is governed by time, the replacement value of the product, and the risk factor the product is exposed to. The risk of loss is greater, for example, in the ocean shipment of a product than it is by local land shipment. People have bought insurance against loss on almost every item imaginable. There are items that are uninsurable, but they are hard to find. Many cover Cos. specialize in “hard to insure items”. Lloyds of London is a famous example of a Co. that will supposedly write an insurance policy on anything! The cost of exotic or hard to replace items can be extremely high. It depends on the item, its uniqueness, and what it would cost to replace it, if it can be replaced. So, cover should be viewed and divided into categories.

Life cover is insuring against the loss of life. The cost of life insurance depends on the age of the person. How much longer will they live? The physical condition of the person. Do they have a terminal illness? And so forth. Life cover is also divided into categories. For example whole life, term, etc.

Health cover covers monetary costs related to accidents and illness, etc.

Cargo cover insures against loss or damage to items do to transportation mishaps.

The history of insurance seems to have developed as the world and civilization have developed. Indeed the ancient Egyptians may have insured ocean cargo against loss, but they probably didn’t have insurance on anyone’s life or on someone’s jewelry. How could you properly evaluate one of Cleopatra’s necklaces? Fire cover and disability insurance are modern developments of the cover industry. As mankind has evolved and governments and laws have evolved some forms of cover have become mandatory. A business must carry a general liability policy. Risk pools of insurance writers have been created in many states so that any business requiring coverage can get it and will not be turned down.

I believe it is safe to say that cover is evolutionary. We can look at the history of cover and find insurance policies that are obsolete and that would not be written today. And we can see policies written today which weren’t available in the past. We can imagine insurance in the future that would be an innovation and had never been written before.

The history of insurance is an interesting study. It illustrates the creativity of the human mind. How can we prevent this or that from happening? Maybe we can’t, but what we can do is insure that if this or that does occur, we will be compensated for the monetary loss.

So we’ve all heard about the huge health insurance debate that has raged in this country for many years now. Parties on either side of the aisle have presented their case in hopes to sway the voters over to their point of view. While these are important issues, it is way beyond the scope of this article. In this article, I’ll go over the very basics of insurance, it’s principles and terminology. That way, when you hear news reports and such, you’ll be better informed.

The concept of insurance is as old as the hills. What is likely the most famous company that has been around for hundreds of years is Lloyds of London. Back when the British Empire was sending out ships in search of new trading partners, they would insure them through Lloyds. If the ships came back with new riches, Lloyds would get a cut of the profits. If they disappeared, Lloyds would cover the loss.

Today, insurance is based on the same principle. It is a protection against potential losses due to unforeseen events. The math is based on an idea called the “Law of Large Numbers.” This means that when there are thousands of people paying a little bit of money each, if one of them has a terrible accident, the insurance company will be able to pay out enough to cover their costs, while still being able to stay in business.

In order to create a new policy, the insurance company has to evaluate the potential risks involved. If the risks are low enough, and they think they can afford to pay out in case of an accident or event, then they will initiate coverage. If, on the other hand, the risk is deemed to be too great, like car insurance for somebody who has been in twenty accidents, they will not be able to offer coverage.

To stay in business, the insurance company has to make sure that any risk of any event happening is smaller than the total amount of people participating in the plan. If the risks start to get too large, then the company will have to do one of two things.

The first thing is that everybody has to pay much higher insurance rates, so the company can stay in business. If the insurance company goes out of business, then nobody will receive any benefits in case there is an accident. The other thing is that some people who are deemed higher risk will have to either pay much more for their insurance than everybody else, or be denied coverage altogether.

Basically, the less likely something is to happen, the less you will have to pay to insure against it. As the chances increase of something happening, so will your insurance costs.

If you want to retire happily then it is very important to lay a lot of emphasis on retirement planning, way before you actually retire. Life after a spell of hard work can be enjoyed in a productive manner by many senior citizens, thus eliminating the feeling of uselessness. Retired life can take on a new meaning if it is planned well. After years of toiling, retired men as well as women always desire to live to the end satisfied and healthy. Adequate funds have to be set aside so that you are able to cover all expenses during the retirement age, when there is no source of income.

Due to job constraints it is virtually impossible to take up hobbies which you have always loved indulging in. The best time then to take up such hobbies with renewed spark is when you retire. For many people, travelling to different destinations is one of the most passionate pursuits, which can be fulfilled after retirement. Funds can be set aside years before retirement so that they can be utilized efficiently later. Spending time with family members, visiting friends and relatives whom you are not able to meet while busy on your job, gardening etc. can be great to spend time on.

Usually the first thing, that a retired person feels is a sense of worthlessness, as he or she is not used to the idea of not earning anything and being dependent on children. Instead make the most of your retirement by doing things which you always felt passionately about. If you have set aside money or are going to get pension, then you are financially secure. Health too is equally important as various treatments could cost you in the thousands. It is best if a balanced diet, proper exercise and proper medication is indulged in, on time, so that there are no complications later on.

Retirement planning needs to start way before you actually retire! This gives you a chance to be financially secure and helps you to utilize your time creatively to develop a sense of self-worth and pride. This is the best time to enjoy all the pleasures of life. Make sure you save sufficient money to last you for many years after retirement as you could live a long, fruitful, healthy life. Use your money to fund your pursuits and find rejuvenated spirit with no job to eat into time!

The idea of a Social Compliance Audit, or Corporate Social Responsibility is relatively new, but has been brought about by consumers who wish to ensure their products are made with all due consideration given to the people and processes involved. This has been a big problem in recent years, as companies outsource their production to China and other 3rd world countries, where laws on environmental and worker protection are non-existent at worse and regarded as best-practice guidelines at best. The most famous case in the news recently involved a Foxconn factory where Apple products are made in Shenzhen, China. A total of 15 workers committed suicide due to inadequate working pay and the promise of insurance money for families if they were to die. Foxconn responded by erecting nets outside the windows to prevent falls, as well as a global pay increase of around 20% to all workers.

Still, this is just one instance of an international problem that highlights the importance of Social Auditing. Indeed, the problem is not just limited to 3rd world countries – a recent Dispatches program from Channel 4 in the UK highlighted a number of factories within the UK itself that were illegally employing Indian workers at half of the national minimum wage and in inadequate working conditions, producing clothes for resale in prominent high street retailers. Companies can no longer ignore their Corporate Social Responsibility and must be vessels for social change.

A Social Compliance Audit consist more precisely of:

- Child labor, checking the proof of age and whether “young workers” (15-18) do not exceed hourly limits for school and shifts.
- Forced labor, checking that the company does not require a monetary deposit to be given a job, or doesn’t withhold money to force continuation of the job.
- Health and safety standards, such as protective equipment and emergency procedures.
- Freedom of unions
- Discrimination and harassment checks
- Disciplinary procedures in place
- Check for illegal confinement, physical beatings or fines levied.
- Working hours and renumeration
