COMM 3030 - Communication and Social Responsibility
Walk the Walk, Talk the Talk
Posted posted by Sawyer Pangborn @ 7:14 PM
Social responsibility is a cause of the human problem of hypocrisy. Despite all the talk about being socially responsible, not many people actually do what they say. People speak of being responsible, yet support the companies that treat their employees poorly, both at home and abroad. People talk about helping those who are economically enslaved, and yet spend an entire paycheck at Wal-Mart. This is a sign that our nation feigns belief or support in an idea that sounds good or will make them look appealing or good to others.
Social responsibility is so much more than just talking. Social responsibility is acting. Show companies you want them to change by not spending money there. Wal-Mart's decrease in profits if this were to happen would awaken the sleeping CEO's to their blunders if we were to boycott and shop elsewhere. It is a matter of acting on what you believe, rather than being a weak-spined individual scared of what people think.
My advice is to completely ignore what people think of you. They mainly gain the wrong impression of you anyways, so why should it matter? Act with your heart and mind, not your sense of popularity or sense of fashion. Wake up America, the era of apathy needs to come to an end.
