...Week 1 Discussion My definition of social responsibility is being aware that every action you take (and equally, every action you do not take) impacts someone else. Examples of this can be seen in the book, "The Butterfly Effect" by Andy Andrews. In this book, the author discusses the hypothesis proposed by a doctoral student that a butterfly could flap its wings and set in motion molecules of air that would move other molecules of air, eventually capable of causing a hurricane on the other side of the earth (Andrews, 2009). Seemingly preposterous, until thirty years later when physics professors from colleges and universities around the world came to the conclusion that "The Butterfly Effect" was indeed possible and it has since been accorded the status of a law known as "The Law of Sensitive Dependence Upon Initial Conditions." If we live life with this law in mind, we understand how much even the smallest actions we take can have on our surroundings and the people we come in contact with. Whether it was Rosa Parks refusing to move from her seat on a bus one day or whether a sixty-eight year old widow who continually encouraged Virginia Ramirez to go back to school (Loeb, 2010) our actions can be the catalyst to positive change in our or someone else's environment. One of the ways I am using this theory is in my workplace. I have inherited an office full of discipline issues and employees who have learned to point fingers of blame instead of taking personal responsibility...

The Saying you started from the bottom is very true when it comes to Nike who now leads in sales of all athletic gear compared to Adidas who at the time of 1964 was the most popular athletic company.

The two became friends over track and the desire to find products that gave a better performance than what was available to them at that time, between the two of them, the seed was planted and from that came the most influential sporting company. A key moment in Nike history was when Phil Knight traveled to Japan on a world-tour searching for a call on his life trying to decided what he was meant to do with this new goal on a random whim he...
