Discrimination Of Racial Minorities On Social Economies

Businesses, specifically larger corporations, play a major role in what occurs in society therefore, they are responsible to their stakeholders not only to pursue economic goals but the greater social good as well. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) means that a corporation should act in a way that enhances society and its inhabitants and be held accountable for any of its actions that affect people, their communities, and their environment. (Lawrence, 2010). Social responsibility is becoming the norm so much so that some businesses have incorporated it into their business model. There are three components of the bottom line of social

Business organizations today are socially and ethically responsible for doing the right thing, exercising good judgment in their business activities with employees, stakeholders, customers and the community. Business organizations emphasis should not only be on profits, but also on how business decisions impact society.

It allows for social change advocacy without the potential external consequences of "conventional activism." But increasingly, we are led to believe that ‘entrepreneurs’ and ‘social enterprises’ are the avant garde of ‘change making’. Like every concept has both pros and cons, similarly even social entrepreneurship has its own demerits. On one hand it is one major factor in bringing change while on the other end it is being overused by companies who start off with the motive of being socially responsible and use this for the advantage in future ,by diverting their focus on profits. The point is, all of a sudden, social entrepreneurship was everywhere and everyone wanted to be one. The key to sustainable capitalism is reasonable profits as opposed to maximizing profits. In the current system, a segment of society is trying to maximize profits without concern for the impact on the well being of the society as a whole, while another segment of social organizations have to deal with the fall out. The system is not working. If it does good in some areas it also does bad in others. The example of Toms one for one shoe program though does charity and is a social enterprise but at its worst, it promotes a view of the world's poor as helpless, ineffective people passively waiting for trinkets from shoe-buying Americans. While the shoes themselves probably won't lead to any kind of disaster, that worldview can lead to bad policies and real, serious harm also has a small negative impact on local markets. And so I have come to feel increasingly uncomfortable with the term “social entrepreneurship” and its main actor, the “social entrepreneur”. It creates a false separation between “this is where we make money, and this is where we do good”. And that is exactly what is wrong with capitalism today. Myths of social entrepreneurship are different from what and how it really works in the

With the rapid development of social economy, the public tends to focus on the social responsibility of the company, as well as feedback to the society, rather than pay close attention to how to create interest in the company. Especially, environmental protection and human rights has became the most pressing social phenomenon. Under this

Minorities experience homelessness compared to white counterparts. Minority groups experience countless discrimination in employment, housing and criminal justice system. Those who have a criminal history experience difficulty in finding a job and a home, which leads to homelessness if they fail to do so. African Americans are imprisoned at higher rates than other groups. Their place in education justifies are racial inequality because they have to be put into overcrowded and under-resourced school due to lack of many. This leads to fewer opportunities in the real world. In turn, minorities turn to drug dealing and being part of gangs to uphold their families. “Desperate times call for desperate needs.” To prevent youth and young adults

When we speak about race equality, we only think as far as black and white people, when it’s actually a lot more in depth than just the two. Racism is when a person or people of a certain color or origin feel as though they are better than another group of people, who are different than they are. Racism has been going on since time can date back. In this world, especially in the United States, we need race quality. According to different races, you’ll get different answers on the other races. Not all Caucasians are racist, not all African Americans are ignorant, and not all Muslims are terrorists, so on and so forth. With white law enforcements killing innocent black people, the new “Black Lives Matter” movement has started, the “white privileges”

Individual rights and public order perspectives are such contentious issues in Contemporary American Society because racial tolerance continues to be a clear trend in American society. In the past six years, there has been a significant positive change in the perceptions of both African Americans and Caucasians regarding the present state of race relations. The change in attitudes have reached the point where an African American has participated in the race for presidential election and won. Many of the issues that are presently important to racial minorities are issues faced by low income Americans.

The United States is a diverse country in terms of race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexuality among others and this difference are perceived differently by every American resulting in stereotyping, discrimination, and inequality. Racial discrimination and inequality is a social issue in the United States that has caused many social injustices to the minority groups. This paper reviews the works of two authors on the issue of diversity – Blink in Black and White by Malcolm Gladwell and The Model Minority by Frank H and argues that people’s attitudes and behaviors towards people of different races are influenced by the implicit messages in the media.

Race Discrimination is a problem in our world for many reason. While many people may say that it this isn’t a problem because dIscrimination/racism could separate people in categories or races. Even though insulting one's race is bad, it could describe who they are. It can also make people have a stronger faith on themselves to push on and live life with the insult.This is still an issue that we need to think about because it can affect people in many ways. In this essay this problem will be explored by examining how this issue emerges in The wife story by Ursula Le Guin as well as in additional research that can be found in the book, The rise and fall of the jim crows law by Richard Wormser and in the website What is discrimination

In a survey taken in 2017 by Code Switch on racism, 92 percent of African Americans answered that they had been racially discriminated against and believe that they are still facing discrimination today. Many people have died or gone to prison because police officers have broken the law and arrested African Americans without any reason to and they often try to justify their actions. Discrimination against black people and how it forces people to deny their actions is an ongoing problem that requires citizens to take action because it can lead to African American deaths. It is essential for the public to understand because if we are aware of these issues we can stop them in the future.

This week’s readings examine how society’s misconceived notions concerning an individual's cognitive ability factors around age, physical and cognitive status. Each article explores three important perspectives in regards to social discrimination towards: ageism, physical disabilities, and a cognitive disabilities.

Discrimination made its way to planet earth way before it could be documented. Racial discrimination happens all over the world both consciously and unconsciously, destroying lives every day. Racial discrimination can best be described as, when a person is treated less favorably than another person in a similar situation because of their race, color, descent, national or ethnic origin or immigrant status. There are many forms of racial discrimination even if we don’t want to face it. Among the most important is harassment, workforce related, and cultural difference. It’s very important that we are aware of the many forms of racial discrimination so that we can refrain and report this type of unjust behavior.

“a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.”

After reading the first two chapters of Building Social Business, I was moved. I was inspired. Yunus opened my eyes to another side of business which in his words was selfless. And indeed it was selfless. Social business is truly selfless because it focuses on helping others and earning profit comes second. By reading this book and reflecting, I realized it is better to be part of the solution than be part of the problem. By looking at my community, at my environment, and at my experiences in life, there are problems that will need solutions and I firmly believe that having a social business is the solution. By my observation, slow public utilities, expensive medicine, and empowering marginalized sectors are problems that can be solved by putting up social businesses. By combining entrepreneurial mindset and experience, social awareness, and creativity, the ideal social business can be done. But what makes a social business truly a social business is the
