COMM 3030 - Communication and Social Responsibility
expressing your beliefs

To me writing and expressing social responsibility means that it is our privilege to be able to express what we think is in the best interest of our society. This can mean that we can choose to act on what we know (a positive proactive stance), or we can choose to not act on something that we know (a negative resistance stance). Which ever stance we choose to take is determined by whether we think acting or not acting would be in the best interest of our society as a whole. I believe that the best way for us to express our social responsibility is through writing. Through writing we are able to state exactly what we mean without any verbal confusion because we are able to actually think about what we want to say and take our time in saying it. When we deliver our message verbally it is sometimes easy to get off track and go off on irrelevant tangents that may confuse our listeners and cause them to lose interest in what we are saying. In the end I believe that social responsibility and our means of expressing it changes from person to person; it is all about what we think is in society’s best interest and not what someone else tells us to think. Some people may think that verbally expressing their thoughts is more advantageous than writing, but once again this depends on the type of person that you are.
