About This Topic

  

A descriptive essay is an essay that describes something like a person, location, thing, event, or process.  Descriptive essays can be non-fiction, but they can also be fiction.  The goal is to allow the reader to visualize whatever is being described.  Good descriptive essays evoke all of the senses, so that the reader knows how what is being described looks, sounds, smells, tastes, and feels.

Two Major Theorist in Corporate Social Responsibility
Howard R. Bowen was the founder of the concept of corporate social responsibility. In his book "Social Responsibility of the Businessman", Bowen argued that business was a major force that touched the lives of numerous individuals. Since business was inextricably and continuously involved in processes of judgment and decision-making, many of their proposals and assertions touched the lives of vast numbers of citizens. These included not only employees of the firm but also their families, acquaintances, and so forth. The larger the firm, therefore, the more corporate responsibility, accordingly the industry had in regards to the decisions that it formulated. Carroll connected corporate social responsibility to business education in a further way by arguing that the concept of corporate social responsibility could be still further clarified were managers to delegate ethical responsibilities to their employees and provide employees with clear-cut ethical principles. As incorporated in the modern industries, businesses structure their missions that mostly follow specific ethical principles. Home sites of all businesses tend to have some missive of ethics as their regulations. Both Carroll and Bowen shaped the 21st century business in an important way by delineating its social responsibilities. Bowen, the father of corporate social responsibility, introduced the subject as well as its importance, whilst Carroll delineated on the specificity of the construct and expended on it in its various particulars.
