SOCIAL CONNECT
AND
We need to prioritize social connect and responsibilities in order to improve our mental health, reduce stress and loneliness, create a sense of belonging, and support social justice and environmental initiatives. Social connect allows us to build strong relationships while upholding our civic duties. Additionally, by engaging in responsible social behavior’s, we can contribute to a more sustainable and equitable society.
Abstract:
Social responsibility is a component of economic and social sustainability that influences the quality of life of communities. Therefore, people must be the starting point, as they participate in solving the problems of society.
In this process, the universities have a fundamental role because in them there is a relationship between academia and reality and they are agents of social change. Consequently, it is a reflection of the curricula and substantive functions of universities (research, projection and extension).
From this perspective, the objective of the study is to measure the level of social responsibility and commitment of the main actor of the educational process that is the student. It is recommended that social responsibility permeates the entire curriculum and that academic programs offer subjects and courses that involve social, scientific and cultural activities in which students participate. Consequently, projects and activities that lead to sensitivity should be encouraged in academic programs and classes to strengthen skills such as leadership, creativity, tolerance, responsibility and self-esteem
