            Social responsibility  69

                  Social responsibility is an ethical framework and suggests that an individual has an
                  obligation to work and cooperate with other individuals and organizations for the benefit

                  of society at large.

                  Social responsibility is a duty every individual has to perform so as to maintain a balance
                  between the economy and the ecosystems. A trade-off may exist between economic

                  development, in the material sense, and the welfare of the society and environment,
                  though this has been challenged by many reports over the past decade

                                                                                         "Social Responsibility."

            State Owned Enterprise    70

                  A state-owned enterprise (SOE) or government-owned enterprise (GOE) is a business

                  enterprise where the government or state has significant control through full, majority, or
                  significant minority ownership

                                                                                      "State-Owned Enterprise."

            State Capitalism   71

                  State capitalism is an economic system in which the state undertakes business and
                  commercial economic activity (i.e., for-profit) and where the means of production are
                  organized and managed as state-owned enterprises (including the processes of capital

                  accumulation, centralized management and wage labor), or where there is otherwise a
                  dominance of corporatized government agencies (agencies organized along business-

                  management practices) or of public companies such as publicly listed corporations in
                  which the state has controlling shares.

                                                                                             "State Capitalism."

            Syncretism   72

                  Syncretism is the combining of different beliefs, while blending practices of various
                  schools of thought. Syncretism involves the merging or assimilation of several originally
                  discrete traditions, especially in the theology and mythology of religion, thus asserting an

                  underlying unity and allowing for an inclusive approach to other faiths.

                                                                                                 "Syncretism."
