From this year, 2014 and onward, the floodgates of social responsibility will be opening. This is predicated upon coming events that will hasten to shape both national activity and the behavior of the community of nations.
It was evident in major disasters in the past that a lot of sharing, cooperation and coordination need to be done on the part of the private and public sectors. This time, it will be the private sector that will be leading the way.
There is no telling that the role of the United Nations will diminish. The UN will stay as sharp and and as useful as it had been since its inception, but a lot of actions on the part of its leadership mostly, has taken a great and heavy toll on its credibility and integrity. The UN has to reshape public opinion and retool its communications vehicles to be able to redeem the old virtues that were attached to its name. In the world of international affairs, reputation is hard to build and difficult to lose because if you do, getting back your face will not be as easy as it seems.
The road is long and hard for the people of the world but social responsibility cannot be beaten. It will make many individuals and corporations, organizations and combines shine. Godspeed to those that have already started way ahead of the others. For many groups that want to get ahead in the bandwagon, if they have been oppressing too many people and sectors along the way, like stealing intellectual property or somesuch, the first thing to do is to correct those errors. That is a big step in social responsibility.
