Social responsibility is the ideology that embraces a standard of ethics for public entities to live up to. It is the expectations that we have come to recognize as being morally right and beneficial to society. Though many people have written on the difference between written vs. expressed social responsibility, I would argue that both writing and expressing social responsibility can be equally beneficial/responsible to society. There is no doubt that action often speaks greater than words; though it does not always mean that words cannot have a great impact as well. Texts have the ability to educate individuals to be culturally literate. Take this class for example. All of the texts we have read for this course have taught us to be socially responsible. So I would not discount written forms of social responsibility, as long as they are genuine and serve the purpose to provide for the greater good of humanity.
