Social responsibility is all about understanding that each of us has a role to play in making the world a better place. It includes individuals, groups, the media and government who all have a genuine interest in the welfare of others and are committed to making a difference to the lives of others. It's about thinking about how actions affect others around us and the community we live in.
People who behave in a socially responsible way are not just activists or campaigners or volunteers, they are everyone in society who want to contribute to society, making it a better place to live.
People who are socially responsible want to see that there is justice and equality for all. They take a stand against those who are discriminated against and they speak out when they see people being treated unfairly.
Examples of Social Responsibility include:
Recycling
Helping Others
Being Honest
Volunteering
Supporting Charities
Fundraising
Contacting/lobbying politicians
Taking part in peaceful demonstrations
