The first observation of a social issue can be confusing for a young person. Noticing extremes of wealth and poverty from one neighborhood to the next—or from one country to another—or hearing statistics related to literacy and school dropout rates in developed countries can be shocking. While growing up, how did your community of family, friends, and teachers respond to social disparities? Were they ignored or confronted? Did you perceive a sense of helplessness or responsibility to help? Whether you feel burdened by, or called to address, the myriad of social concerns in the world today, your response stems, in part, from how you see yourself in the world in relation to others.
In this Discussion, you explore the influence of personal values on your concept of social responsibility.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review examples of social responsibility presented in the assigned reading from the Loeb (2010) course text.
Review “The Golden Rule” from this week’s Resources to identify commonalities across quotes and to determine whether any quotes align with your own values.
Complete the Cultural Genogram: Dimensions of Culture document in this week’s Resources to discover personal values related to social responsibility.
Think of the community or communities where you grew up. What issue of concern or need in that community(ies) did you see addressed directly or indirectly?
Think about the elements in your life that might have influenced your definition of social responsibility.
Did any of your family members choose careers that served the community in which they lived?
What convictions do you hold that were formed early in life that now influence the way you view social responsibility?
Post by Day 4
