Hotspots in Business Revisited

In my previous post, I discussed three hotspots in my field of study, business:

Volunteers through Vivint's CSR program

1. Corporate Social Responsibility (Corporate social responsibility is a means for businesses to use their profits to address social issues, but some argue that this goes beyond the responsibility of business.)

• Historical Connections During the Romantic Era, a theme that emerged was increased empathy. In reaction to the empiricism of the Enlightenment, a shift was made from hard-cut systems and skepticism to an emphasis on feelings, compassion, and identification with the plight of others. Moreover, during the Romantic Era society became more concerned with looking after more vulnerable groups rather than just the elite few. In many ways, the Romantic Era’s push for empathy is mirrored as Millennials and Generation Z-ers demand that their workplace goes beyond their normal business to helps vulnerable groups. Just as in the Romantic Era, individuals are expecting the businesses they work for to consider the plight of others and then use the profits and resources they have to help those individuals in the form of CSR programs.
