Social Responsibility

Social responsibility - what exactly does it mean? How important is is in market driven, capitalist societies? The construct is not black or white, different people (and corporations) look at it through a different lens; there are advocates as well as critics of the concept. In trying to be objective but more so advocating social justice, some explanations are necessary and I am taking the opportunity to use several scholarly articles as well a TV program, radio broadcast and newspaper articles to convey the point that systemic changes are needed.
