Shel Israel describes social or goodwill fundraising (individual raising money and giving to causes) as the “ cult of generosity ” – I would like to call “ Individual Social Responsibility ” – like there is “Corporate Social Responsibility,” it is also important for individuals to be generous.

Some do both. There is a debate as to whether “liking” a story or photo on Facebook can lead to social change on the ground, but I believe that networks are ecosystems with people who take their ISR more deeply than others – and that we have to think of ISR in terms of a ladder of engagement.
