How are organizations tied to the environment? What is the relationship between the school you attend and the city or town in which it is situated? What, if any, ethical obligations does an organization like a college or university have to the local community?
Organizations are linked to environments because organizations depend on their surroundings and energy, according to our text. Therefore these organizations have to be careful of their effect, making sure that they do not destroy or seriously damage the community around them. The relationship between the school I attend and the city it is situated in is the fact that the school depends on the city around it. The school depends on the city for money and safety among many other things. The city has a huge effect on the survival of my school because many of its decisions and laws will either hurt or profit my school. I do not believe that my college has any obligation to the community surrounding it besides keeping the students under control and the physical premises of the school orderly. Other than that, I believe that the city has an obligation to keep my school up and running. My school depends on the city for money and leadership. The school looks at the city for guidance when things on campus are not how they should be like violence and safety for example.

Hi Lee! You wrote, "Therefore these organizations have to be careful of their effect, making sure that they do not destroy or seriously damage the community around them." Do you feel that SJSU, or a school like it, has had a negative or positive effect on the community?
