As well as making money, businesses also have social responsibilities. Do you agree or disagree?

Besides

earning profits, companies need to be concerned about the development of society.

While

I accept that

this

may suit many people, I believe that there are some social aspects beyond business owners’ abilities. On the one hand, there are a variety of social issues that any company could be responsible for.

First,

the most important thing is that they create more jobs for the labourers. It seems evident that if they were not aiming to start their careers, a great number of people would live in poverty, especially the low-level worker.

Additionally

, corporations could provide scholarships to socially disadvantaged high-flyers.

Due to

supporting those students, they have opportunities to have more excellent and loyal employees for their company.

On the other hand

, with limited knowledge, resources, influences and powers, businesses could not make any significant changes to some problems in society.

For example

, a construction corporation is not able to help solve the population ageing issues correctly and effectively. The most possible thing they could do is sponsor some propaganda campaigns to encourage the community to embark on parenthood but there is no need for them to do that because they could focus on developing their business to help more people to earn a living. In conclusion, companies could take responsibility for some issues of society, but they could not do all the things in terms of helping to solve social problems.
