Nobody wants to be liable for something bad. That is a
fact—almost. “Almost” because maybe there are those who feel the rush and
adrenaline of being blamed…but that is another story. Anyway, most people do
not like to be “the one to blame” when a problem arises. For our group activity
in this CSRGOVE session, we talked about liabilities and contemplated, as a
group, as to who’s the one to blame.
The
case study was about a misuse of a certain product that led to physical injuries. At first, my group mates and I actually found
it quite easy to see who was the rightful one to be blamed. But as we discussed
further, we realized it was much more complex than simply concluding that this
certain group was liable to the damages. Because each of these groups of stakeholders
has their own list of responsibilities they had to partake to prevent problems
from arising. In the case study, it was
clear that one group of stakeholders failed to act on their responsibility.
However, I realized that while this certain group acted carelessly, there was a
reason behind it. Maybe the other group of stakeholder also failed to act
responsibly that caused the other group to fail on their responsibility as
well.
Sure,
it was just a simple group activity that we had to do during class but this
certain activity made me realize that I couldn’t put the blame to just anyone
who is clear to have acted wrongly. I
realized that some people fail to act responsibly because maybe the others weren’t
also able to act the same way. This
class activity in CSRGOVE made me reflect on my actions. I was reminded that it is not easy to assign
guilt to someone. I realized that
sometimes, wrong actions could possibly be a cause of domino effect among
people. And I am glad that the lessons we were taught in class couldn’t only be
applied to businesses but to our personal lives as well.
