Social Responsibility and the Rule of Law

Abstract

The author refers to the current political situation in Slovenia and tries to answer which players behave in a socially irresponsible way and hereby contribute to the overall political and social crises. The rule of law includes similar components as a socially responsible activity, for example: different levels of integrity, which will be specifically addressed in the second subchapter. In the third subchapter we will address the lack of interaction of different levels of integrity and some examples of social irresponsibility, in order to confirm or reject hypothesis about the close connection between social responsibility and the rule of law, with a higher percentage of social responsibility’s actions.
