Week 8 - Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility is the idea that companies have an obligation to give back to the world in some way that is important to them.  This can take many different forms like financial support for non-profit programs, providing service or innovating change in a selected field where the business can make a change.

I enjoyed the reading in Chapter 16 of "How to Change the World" this week.  The examples were useful and inspired me to think about the ways that we should look at the choices that we make.

Corporate Social Responsibility has become more popular recently because our world has come to expect better things from corporations.  They have discovered that when they find ways to give back, they are respected more by the public.
