Social responsibility and ethical awareness are very important for students nowadays in this modern and globalized era. The way
people are living their lives and the way it has become very challenging and dynamic to educate people about their social responsibility. Social
responsibility and ethical awareness has become a vital part in the path of success and the organization must display their wider interest in social
issues so that they can attract customers who have same values and will also have an impact on the profit margins of the organization (Doganis
and et. al., 2019.). Project workshops that are conducted for university students help them to identify their internal abilities and their interest
towards social responsibility and ethical awareness. In order to do self-development, the students need to find their internal as well as external
capabilities so that they can change their weaknesses into their strengths. The mini project workshop that I attended was about the social and
ethical practices in the organization and their benefits. According to me, social responsibility is a much wider term and is very important for the
benefit of the organization as well as for society. Organization uses resources that belongs to society and it is important for every organization to
return the benefits to the society by becoming socially responsible (Huda and et. al., 2018. ). It is the responsibility of each and every one to
make sure that they fulfil their civic duty and their actions are benefiting the whole society. Social responsibility by individuals make sure that
there is a balance between welfare of environment and society and economic growth. Social responsibility is dependent upon the system of
ethics in which ethically validated actions and decisions must proceed. On the other hand if the actions and decision are not ethically validated or
are causing any type of harm then it will be considered as social irresponsibility. It is important to each and every organization to make sure that
their actions and decisions are not doing any harm to the society in any form ( Le Fevre, D., Meyer, F. and Bendikson, L., 2020. ). Maintaining
social responsibility in organization make sure that social integrity is maintained and environment is protected. When organization overlook the
social responsibility for their personal gain or some materialistic profits, that is the time when government has to intervene. Corporate social
responsibility activities helps the organization to increase their goodwill in the market and to capture and attract more potential customers. It
