organizations have carried out charity work and donations, but the idea of social responsibility

not yet fully formed. Today, social responsibility is no longer limited to

associated with an action or situation. The definition of social is related

with the community, which is a community that shares a culture. For example, in our country

malay, iban and many more. And social responsibility refers to

acknowledge that one's choices or decision-making and behavior give

impact on the environment where it lives. Individual commitments and obligations,

community members or companies are voluntarily contributing to society

which is fairer and protects the environment. Social responsibility consists of actions

positive (taking action) and also negative action (doing no action).

The decisions they make have an impact on the environment around them.

Even though we make decisions for ourselves but it still affects us

other people such as parents, friends, teachers and so on. Hence, responsibility

social is the duty of each individual to maintain a balance between workers,

economy and ecosystem so that we can all live in harmony, peace,
