This document discusses corporate social responsibility (CSR). It outlines some of the key arguments for and against CSR. There are differing views on whether businesses should focus solely on economic goals like profit or have broader social responsibilities. CSR can be defined in various ways, such as a commitment to sustainable development, considering stakeholder interests, and contributing to community well-being. Businesses need to balance their economic, legal, and social duties to be successful long-term. Globalization has led to differing international perspectives on appropriate corporate behavior.

A Corporate Social Responsibility, generally noted by “CSR”, refers to a corporation's initiatives to assess and take responsibility for the company's effects on environmental and social well-being. It generally applies to efforts that go beyond what may be required by regulators or environmental protection groups. Governments seeking to advance sustainable development are increasingly turning to policies and strategies that encourage, support, mandate, or directly demonstrate more socially and environmentally sound business practices. A central component of these policies involves promoting increased transparency of economic activities.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
1. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Introduction
The debate about corporate social responsibility (CSR) began in the early 20th century, as
concerns about large corporations and their power came to the fore. Two broad
principles—charity and stewardship—have help to shape thinking about CSR.
The arguments for CSR tend to focus on the relationship between power and
responsibility, the need for good stakeholder relations, and business’ desire to forestall
government regulation. (The notion of “enlightened self-interest” also fits in here.)
The arguments against CSR tend to focus on the economic function of business (to make
products, not to solve social problems that are the responsibility of individuals, society,
and the government), the imposition of unequal costs on some companies and
stakeholders, and lower economic efficiency.
Businesses need to balance economic, legal, and social responsibilities in order to achieve
long-run success. More generally, there is often a relationship between good social and
good financial performance. Further, firms that are seen as acting illegitimately are likely
to face difficult relations with employees, governments, communities, and consumers—
which all have direct impacts on the top and bottom lines. One defense of the shareholder
view of CSR is that shareholders take on a unique set of risks, but other stakeholders are
protected by contractual relations with organizations. But Enron1 and other companies
illustrate that most stakeholders take on risk—sometimes without knowing it. One result
of increasing globalization is that there are many different voices around the world with
differing views on corporate social responsibility. What is seen as “ethical” in one
country may not be in another (like Genetically Modified Foods).
Definition of CSR
There are number of ways to define Corporate Social Responsibility. It is the
commitment of business to contribute to sustainable economic development, working
with employees, their families, the local community and society at large to improve their
quality of life. It can also be defined as a concept that relates to organizations taking on
their social and environmental responsibilities and includes factors such as provisions for
employees, participation in local community, green working practices, ethical trading and
good corporate governance. On the other hand,Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is
a concept that organizations, especially (but not only) corporations, have an obligation to
consider the interests of customers, employees, shareholders, communities, and
ecological considerations in all aspects of their operations.
It characterizes the need for organisations to consider the good of the wider communities,
local and global, within which they exist in terms of the economic, legal, ethical and
philanthropic impact of their way of conducting business and the activities they
undertake.

development, working with employees, their families, the local community and society at
large to improve their quality of life
CSR for an organization means achieving long term growth and profitability while
reducing their environmental footprint and meeting the needs of employees and the
communities in which the organization operate. This can be depicted in a diagram below

3. Need for CSR
There are number of arguments on the reasons for CSR whereas there are state laws and
regulations guiding business practices. On the other hand to counter the argument the law
is very slow to much with high pace of innovation impacting upon the business today.
Furthermore the law is slow and reactive rather than being proactive.
CSR models
There are various models to describe the CSR complexity. These can be divided in
accordance to time as follows
• Premodern
o Minimalist
o Self Interested
• Modern
o The social contract
• Postmodern
o Stakeholder (management and stewardship)
The dual responsibility and goal for each of the model position are shown hereunder;
Position Responsible to Therefore…
Minimalist Stockholders/ Maximizing profit
owners
Self interested Stockholders/ owners/ cost Do good when furthers quest for
“controllers” growth and profit
Social contract Those with social and legal Goes beyond law to spirit of
contract commitment
Stakeholder Those who influence direction Develop responsive strategies
Management and fortunes
Stakeholder Society as whole / future Solutions for social problems
stewardship
Minimalist Model
The major participants in this model are investors/stockholders and owners/managers.
Their focus for change issues is hyper-competition and globalization. Their level of trust
grows when performance meet expectation and there is distrust when fails to meet
expectation
Self Interest Model
Participants are
