who will do my homework?

Module 3 Assignment (30 possible points)

Part A (12 possible points)

Recall the continuum of social responsibility we discussed in class. The continuum we discussed contains 4 points along the way:

      Traditional Approach to Social Responsibility

      Social Obligation

      Social Responsiveness

      Pure Social Responsibility

I want you to research TWO major companies or organizations that you can think of place them on the continuum. Choose TWO companies with different approaches to social responsibility so they will fall at two different places on the continuum. Be sure to give me enough detail/support for your answers sharing 3-4 examples of their social responsibility activities and why you placed them where you did on the continuum. Also give me your CITES/URLS for the information about the companies and examples of their social responsibility efforts.
