Step 1: Identify an organization and explain its social responsibility
...


 Social Responsibility is an ethical framework which suggests that an entity, be it
an organization or individual, has an obligation to act for the benefit of society at large
...
A trade-off may exist between
economic development, in the material sense, and the welfare of the society and
environment
...

This responsibility can be passive, by avoiding engaging in socially harmful acts, or
active, by performing activities that directly advance social goals
...
For example a natural hazard
can be created if there is an oil spill by a tanker in the sea
...

For social responsibility the organization is required to fulfill its obligations in that it
follows the laws set out by the government
...
It acts further than the obligations it has upon it
...

When the organization acts itself to do the right things in a way that are good for society
it constitutes its responsibility
The organization moves in the way that it first fulfills its obligations then it becomes
responsive and finally adopts responsibility
...
It creates a better public image of the organization
...
There is an increase in resources
...
They support local health services
through financing the purchase of vital medical equipment for hospitals and building
basic health centres within the local community
...

They have also invested in the uplift of education in the concession districts, with a
special emphasis on female literacy
...

More than 4,000 girls have graduated from the college so far, with many taking up
professions like engineering, medicine and teaching
...
They have also constructed
new primary schools in remote villages within the concession districts
...
In this and other such ways the
organization fulfills its responsibility towards the society
