Incredible India Monthly Contest of June#1: Social Responsibility!
Social responsibility is one's responsibility to society. To me it means to help people and to be a positive influence on the community around us. We are all members of a society and what we do impacts others – it can make a difference or it can do harm. So, social responsibility is not the responsibility of governments, or organizations alone; it is one thing that every individual in the social world should apply in everyday life.
When I hear the words social responsibility, I think of how I can help other people, protect the environment, respect people, and be involved in things that can help make society better. It may be as simple as having a clean environment, aiding a neighbor, donating to the poor, or helping out with community projects. Social responsibility doesn't necessarily only mean donating money, it means donating our time, effort, kindness and care.
I believe we all are expected to do something of a service to the community. By doing community service we are able to help develop society. Any act of service that is helpful such as volunteering during a sanitation exercise, helping children with their studies, planting trees, or supporting elderly people is helpful. These are actions that can be done individually, but that when everyone does it, makes a difference in the community. Compassion, team work and a feeling of belonging are taught by community service.
I have heard the saying "Charity makes us rich" and this is something that I truly believe. Not always does it mean money. There are numerous ways in which charity helps to enrich us. It provides us joy, peace of mind, appreciation and better connections with others. If we do a sincere help to someone, then we feel fulfilled and happy as well. Many times, kindness comes in our lives through a surprising door of opportunity, unexpected support and goodwill from other people.
I know the satisfaction that is associated with helping another person in need. Sharing wasn't difficult for me even if I didn't have a lot to offer, doing so made me feel good and pleased. I felt good because the person I did help, smiled at me and was thankful. I have learned from such experiences that giving is one of the best things one can do is to invest generously.
To sum up: social responsibility is a part of a good citizen. It makes us feel good about others and the development of society. Everyone should do community service and charity can enrich our lives in many ways indeed. Practicing social responsibility contributes to a better, stronger, and united world for everyone.
