2.2 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) or CSR activity is seen as a complex and contested area, which is rapidly gaining importance from businesses all over the world (Vaaland & Heide, 2008). Mintzberg (1983), refers to Elbing (1970) when he states that the concept of social responsibility has been discussed academically by professors, pragmatically by businessmen, politically by public representative and approached from various angles philosophically, psychologically, sociologically, economically even aesthetically. The complexity of the concept has lead to variations of definitions some boarder than others with no consensus on a generally accepted definition. The difficulty with defining CSR sterns from

According to Moir (2001) who quotes Wood (1991), the fundamental idea of corporate social responsibility is that business and society are not distinct entities but instead interwoven. Additionally, Bremner (1994) opines that the pressure for those who prosper financially to be socially “responsible” has deep historical roots in most cultures and religions. As such, business enterprises have been anchored not only in the desire to solely make profit but also in a broader aim to build “the good society” by attending to the welfare of employees and actively partaking in public life (Hall, 1997; Parkes, Scully & Anson, 2010). Conversely, Aaron (2011) attributes this to the recent ‘corporate enthusiasm’ for CSR which seems to give the impression that companies are genuinely interested in improving the lives of people in communities in which they operate. Arguing that while in some cases it may be true that CSR has proved beneficial to target communities, it also appears that CSR is driven not so much by philanthropic considerations as the profit-maximising calculations of business, implying that corporations are involved in altruistic gestures only if it makes sense business wise (Aaron, 2011). However, Moir (2001) did

I acknowledge that movies don 't always include everything from the book it is based on but I really feel that some scenes should have been included. For example, Janie’s family history isn 't really involved in the film. Also, if you were to just watch the movie you wouldn 't understand why Nanny forces Janie to marry
For example, the plot of Junger’s film is: a young boy wishes to date a young girl. The young girl cannot date until her older sister, who does not date, does. The young boy pays a man to date the older sister, and over time, she becomes accepting towards his love. At the very end, the young boy gets to date the young girl, and the older sister falls in love with the man. This film has a plot similar to a classic 90’s chick flick, which is coincidental, considering it was released in the 90’s for a teenage audience.

(Ray, 2015). Because the movie is so much more condensed than the book, many details are left out. The movie spends little time in District 12 and The Capitol. This eliminates some characters who were in the book from being in the movie. Madge Undersee was in the book but not in the movie.
After all, these examples prove the movie is more interesting and helps the viewer understand the characters in the movie more than the characters that are displayed in the book and how they have

It is the firm’s obligation to evaluate in its decision-making processes the effects of its decisions on the external social system in a manner that will accomplish social benefits along with the traditional economic gains, which the firm seeks. It means that social responsibility begins where the law ends. A firm is not being socially responsible if it merely complies with the minimum requirements of the law, because this is what any good citizen would do.” A firm will not survive without the support of both the stakeholders and shareholders, thus the CSR proposes the indication which states that a firm can never exist In a vacuum (Khalidah et. al.).

It is the firm’s obligation to evaluate in its decision-making processes the effects of its decisions on the external social system in a manner that will accomplish social benefits along with the traditional economic gains, which the firm seeks.
