On Socially Responsible Design

It is interesting that a document can be considered socially responsible. But, if we look at the big picture, shouldn't everything we create be socially responsible? Whenever I write, be it an essay, a poem, or a work of fiction, I am always thinking about its purpose. Especially for a piece that has an audience, there needs to be a bigger social purpose in the writing. Often, I think this is forgotten, and Rock makes a really good argument that we need to be more aware. So perhaps when we write a bestselling 500 page book we should definitely make sure the book is socially responsible enough to compensate for all the trees getting made into paper.
