Social Responsibility

This includes our behavior, our thoughts and our actions that support the creation of the world in which we live. It means extending yourself beyond your own personal sphere so as to add something positive to your environment and the world. This means to get out and vote and serve in your community. To support your community by shopping locally and volunteering with local organizations and nonprofits.

Look at the world around you, your environment, the economy, the ecology, and you know what to addressed. Whether it is animal rights, child abuse or economic and political strife your voice can count.

Here are some of the issues that Social Responsibility include:

Political Activism

  • A vigorous action in support of a controversial issue can bring about a positive resolution.
    • Acting as a “citizen”, you can make a difference.
    • Getting involved can be as simple as writing a letter.
    • Other people, including children, decide on a more personal involvement.
    • Some place their lives on the line.

  • Civil Disobediance

  • The right of the group or individual to disobey an unjust law, including submitting to imprisonment in protest against discrimination, oppression, and destruction.
    • Civil Disobedience is the most powerful method of effecting change.
    • The men who founded this nation and great women and men around the world declare it a duty to act in accord with your conscience.
    • Only by practicing our rights to do we retain them.

  • Mediation: - is the intervention in a dispute by a neutral third party with expertise on a particular issue to secure a compromise, an agreement or reconciliation.
    • A mediator does not impose a binding agreement but brings parties in conflict to an acceptable resolution in an impartial, neutral and safe environment

   

Activism is the answer…

 

 


…to apathy. We have the opportunity to give our lives meaning. The goal is to act while it is our ability rather than waiting until it is our necessity.

“True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding out the true path for ourselves and fearlessly following it.”
- Mohandas Gandhi

It does not benefit us to allow a government to serve the economy negatively effect our way of life.
