As well as making money, businesses also have social responsibilities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, an increasing number of people have started to discuss the importance of social

responsibility

. It is believed by some that businesses ought to take on social

responsibility

in lieu of having the sole aim of making a profit. From my perspective, I completely agree with the viewpoint. One evident reason is that in order to generate productivity to earn a profit, companies need to access resources from

society

, ranging from human resources, electricity, in certain cases, raw materials, to name but a few. In

this

light, in returning to

society

, companies do have the obligation to be liable for assisting the issues that arise from

society

.

Moreover

, it is clear that commercial activities have already been involved in human life for ages; the close relationship has indicated that business is already an indispensable component of

society

;

thus

, part of the

responsibility

must be undertaken by the enterprise for the good of both business and the

society

as a whole. People who stand on the opposite side might contend that it is already enough for corporations to take on their

responsibility

to

society

via paying taxes;

thus

, no

further

actions are needed for these businesses when facing social issues.

However

financial support alone is not enough, businesses are obligated to be aware of their influences and exert their value in availing

society

. Nike,

for example

, has devoted itself to promoting the idea of gender equality and fighting domestic violence through its influence and product. The act of Nike is critically acclaimed by

society

and has set up a demonstration for others to follow. In conclusion, I believe companies should undertake social

responsibility

because they have acquired resources and profited from the environment;

moreover

, it would

also

be pivotal for enterprises to utilize their influences discreetly with the aim of creating a better

society

.
