Answer 1

No. Your entire proposition is counterintuitive. The reason we have less social responsibility today is because everyone looks to the government for answers. If it is mandated it is not being responsible. Responsibility starts at home not a law book. You can not legislate morality.

If you are asking about corporate social responsibility the question you should ask is why. Why should a corporation be beholden to anybody besides a shareholder. If you want them to donate to charity make it tax deductible, which it already is. Corporations should owe nothing to society as a whole. They owe everything to shareholders. If the shareholders desire that there is more social responsibility they will force it to happen. The Government has no role in free markets, especially in this realm.

Answer 2

Somilia replaced right into a military dictatorship till 1969 then replaced to a communist dictatorship the position the interior of sight tribes at the prompt are warring over skill so that they do no longer have a real authorities because it is both commies or military rule depending which area replaced into taken over by conflict in inner conflicts. Martial regulation and communism isn't something like libertarianism right here contained in the U. S.. Hillary Clinton is the guy who wrote the e book it is takes a village, situation is human beings will continuously stick with a Jim Jones and drink the kool help.

Answer 3

I disagree with C B if you're talking about corporate social responsibility. Corporations should be held to a certain standard of social responsibility, because it's good business to do so. Certain standards should be set for corporations, who if failing to meet them, would cause extreme harm on society as a whole, such as pollution, discrimination, or anti-competitive behavior.

Obviously, there is a fine line between just setting minimum standards and over-regulating, but experience has shown that just letting market forces go does not work, because due to their sheer capital, corporations have a tendency to abuse that power.

Answer 4

Gods no!

The government is not only ill equipped to have any rational ability to teach social responsibility, but that effectively ends up imposing the current majority's social agenda on everyone. That's a direct violation of the principles of freedom this country was founded upon.

Answer 5

I would like to see corporations forced into some degree of social responsibility. Such as car makers being forced to make cars that have a higher MPG, or oil companies being required to invest a fraction of their profits into developing alternative fuels. If these American companies had the slightest bit of patriotism, or social responsibility, they'd be doing these things already. But since they don't, I have no problem bytch slapping them into doing it!

Answer 6

Here, in the society i see, it seems that social responsability is no longer taught,much less enforced in many families & homes, which is where it begins.
Maybe to much working, or too lazy, or selfishness of the heads of the fam. and/or community.
So, someone has to step up to the plate before the game is lost. Too bad the government is, with their batting avg

Answer 7

It is unfortunate that people do not take responsiblity for anything anymore. I think it is a good idea for the gov. to make people more responsible and stop blaming the gov. for all of society's problems.

Answer 8

the use of the word prefer implies a choice.. I ask you "over what else"? I can't comment unless you have a choice to compare your statement/question too.

Answer 9

No, that is why we have prisons and police because there are some people who do not take responsibility for their actions.

Answer 10

No.
Governments pretend to have social responsibilities, but actually they don't.
