We often come across this word 'social responsibility' many times and we often participate in discussions voicing our views regarding the same. But is it just about cleanliness, following traffic rules, helping others in distress, rescuing someone from danger, and donating our bit to the needy? May be this narrower interpretation is keeping most of us in dark and fooling us into believing that we are socially so responsible.
Its said, charity begins at home. Not just that, probably everything begins at home. Most of us are often perplexed at the way kids behave at a party when they incessantly speak embarrassing things and we fail to understand that it once began at home when they weren't warned by their parents, the first time they did. And to my astonishment, many believe that it is the way to live in today's society! Isn't that the social responsibility of a parent to up bring his child to make him a part of better society? After all, all of these kids form tomorrow's society. Isn't it?
Giving a word was once more valued than having a written document unlike today. We can however not expect times to change in a flash. But is it so difficult to say only those things which we really mean? To bluff people, make fun of them, fool them for no reason, pulling their legs has become more of a casual thing today. Is it really so casual as we assume it to be? Is it not our social responsibility to be a better person when we expect to live in a better society?
Nuclear families are present day's necessity. Work location, education, career opportunity, competition and many such. Whatever the reason may be, we are compelled to live away from our families. We meet our Grand parents, uncles, aunts and cousins only for some family get together parties. Quite logical that we don't share a great bond of affection unlike those olden days joint families. But isn't it our social responsibility to value relations for they teach us the value of love which is the very nature that binds mankind?
Not ignoring the very powerful force that molds us all with the very magic of its omnipresence and the deep penetration among the public- The Media! Yes, we are all influenced so easily with whatever we see and all that that grabs our attention that reaches us through the media. From inspirational stories to silly gossips, some bit of it enters our mind and tunes our behavior. But do we ever question and raise our voice against the unwanted subject content that media rubs on us just for the sake of their popularity? Isn't raising our voice against a value breach, our social responsibility for a better society to live in?
Each one of us is a part of this society. We have the power to design it, mold it, protect it and also tear it. We all make a society. A good deed is as contagious as a bad one. But rarely do we realize it because we think there is a pre-built society and we just need to dwell our lives in it. We are the makers of our own destiny and of course our society.
