As the quote suggests, it is our law-abiding responsibility to take care of the society by helping each other in tough situations and make the world a better place to live.Social Responsibility is a behavioral responsibility in which individuals are responsible for consummating their ethical duties which would benefit the society and make a balance between the social welfare of the environment and economic growth(Anon, 2017). As talking about Social Responsibility in a student’s life, the life of a students is not only about scoring marks and passing the examinations but also, they should be willing to be socially active and serve the society.

The Universities still needs to go to that extra mile to teach the students the importance of social responsibility so that they do not judge anyone on the basis of their race and color and ensures that there is no kind of discrimination going on the campus and by doing this, the students would feel much more safe to mingle with each other and make new international friends. To ensure the maximization of social responsibility, the universities should set a code of conduct for their students and it is also the responsibility of the students to grasp as much knowledge and not only understand what is being said but also, implement those in the real life and help their peers to make the community a better place for all the students and maintain the unity as well.

  • Business and Social Responsibility

    The problem that was investigated consisted of a question that Milton Friedman posed in one of his articles, which was featured in The New York Times Magazine in 1970. The question was, “What does it mean to say that “business” has responsibilities” (Friedman, 2007, p. 173)? Friedman (1970) elaborated on how businesses cannot have assigned responsibilities. Furthermore, he described how groups or individuals should be the only ones that can hold responsibilities, not businesses. He stated that associating responsibilities with the word business is too ambiguous. I will examine three discussion questions and three compare and contrast questions which Jennings (2009) posed in a case study that is related to Friedman’s (1970) article “The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits”.

  • Social Problems and Social Responsibility Perspective

    523 Words  | 2 Pages

    Over the course of this semester, among all the different perspectives, two that stayed on my mind the most are the social problems perspective and the social responsibility perspective. While both of these perspectives are similar in that they both cover theories about crimes, they differ greatly in the way in which each suggests crime occurs. The social problems perspective provides that people are not actually responsible for their actions, but rather that their actions were the result of a failure of society to prevent the problem. For example, towns often create after-school programs to help keep children off the streets and out of trouble. However, towns that do not have such after-school programs often report higher rates of teenage crime as well as unattended children. Children are naturally curious and even mischievous. After-school programs that help to keep the children busy and involved in activities report to have lower occurrences of vandalism and gang activity.
