Social responsibility is a verb, it is actively making the world a better place. It is the obligations and opportunities we have with one another. It is helping the community thrive. Your community could be your neighborhood, town, city, state, country, or even the entire world.I agree with Okie's ideas that changing the world starts small. I believe that the world does change when you help the person next to you. I believe that recycling is an example of social responsibility, and it is something small that everyone can easily do and it helps the world. Volunteering at a soup kitchen or something similar helps your city and is another example of social responsibility.
Writing and expressing yourself are the beginnings of social responsibility. They are the opportunity you have with others to share knowledge. Whether you write it, sing it, or hold up signs at a protest it's a part of social responsibility. I believe it's important to make a voice for yourself, and for others, especially those who have little or no power of voice. Examples of people with little or no voice include, homeless people, trans gender, and the oh so controversial animals. when you share your ideas with others they may learn from you, you may have ideas that help make the community a better place. When others share their ideas they may help you understand new things. It is important to share ideas because every action first came from a thought or idea. If no one knew about the victims of hurricane Katrina, no one would have rushed to their aide, or sent donations, or help them rebuild their homes and lives. Where would they be now?
