ANALYSIS OF ‘SOCIAL CONCERN’ IN THE PLAYS OF BOND AND EDGAR

Abstract

The feel of social concern or social responsibility is being gradually faded out from society. Selfishness, by which one generally becomes irrational, leads to many personal as well as social problems. A man of selfishness automatically becomes reckless enough towards the problems of others and society as well. He can never understand the intertwined and inseparable relation of a man with society. Hence, he is least bothered of society except his own self. This kind of negligent, indifferent and reckless attitude enforces the need of social concern.

From this context, everyone is expected to have individual as well as social responsibility at least to the possible extent. A man of social concern exerts a lot of attention for the well being of society. For example, the social concern of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of Nation of India, could help getting independence from the British. In the same way, the social responsibility of South African iconic personality Nelson Mondela let him fight against apartheid to make his society peace and prosperous. Speeding their entire life for their respective societies alone both Gandhiji and Mandela remain exemplary forever and for all the generations
