What is a socially responsible effort? Social responsibility comes from the belief that people, governments, and organizations have a responsibility to the greater welfare of society. What each person determines to be socially responsible, however, is subject to personal ideals and beliefs (Note: the emphasis here is on the responsibility of  the individual to the community). Examples of socially responsible efforts include, but are not limited to:

·       Recycling and using CFL lightbulbs (individual or organizational)

·       Donating time to volunteer organizations

·       Monetary donations

·       Developing green buildings

Present a 5 to 10 PowerPoint Presentation profiling a community. The team may select a community with which they are familiar or use the City of Kelsey Virtual Organization accessible from the student website. In the profile, present the following:

·       Type of people who live in the community

·       Type of work the residents do

·       How and where members of the community interact such as festivals, grocery stores, community events, and so forth

·       Address the following questions in the profile:

o   How would you describe the responsibilities of the individuals to the community?

o   What are the community’s responsibilities to the individuals?

o   As a member of this community, what do you think it means to be socially responsible?

Format your presentation consistent with APA guidelines.
