During my community engagement work I have two different things. As I stated in my earlier writing it was kind of challenging to find activities that better the environment in my neck of the woods. However, in this project I mainly focused on ethics and social responsibilities. The two activities that I have done was one teaching a Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) and I volunteered at the local humane society here in Gulfport, MS.
I volunteered a little over 7 hours of teaching time to a JROTC high school program here in Mississippi. I am currently an instructor in the military so this was a daily regiment for me, so I thought.

I will be blatantly honest that it didn’t have much to do as in the way of helping the environment; however, as I stated earlier to me it is a form of social responsibility. Dogs, cats, and others animals get abandon or surrendered all the time. They are either found as a stray or people don’t realize how much work and money goes into having a dog. Finding them as a stray they could have serious diseases like rabies and that is the last thing you want is an animal wondering around with rabies. A way I can relate this experience to the environment is if we continue to neglect or abuse the environment pollution, water scarcity, overpopulation, etc. will continue to grow and gradually get worse. Unless, we do what we did for this assignment each helping hand can make the world a little bit
