The term "Non-Governmental Organizations" has become widely used in recent decades, often associated with developed societies.

It has been adopted by many elites, and frequently appears in both international and local statements. However, in fact, experience has shown that the performance of these organizations has been questioned, particularly regarding the nature of their proposals, their funding sources, and the nature of their connections to the interests of major Western countries. After a considerable period of time, it has become possible to assess these organizations and determine the extent of the benefits they have brought to their societies, as well as the potential harm they may have caused.

Generally, these organizations have come to represent a shiny title on one hand, while their substance remains questionable on the other. This leaves them with only two options: either to belong to the identity of their own society, or to detach from it and adopt the culture of the "colonizers."
