"Social entrepreneurship is the process of pursuing innovative solutions to social problems. More specifically, social entrepreneurs adopt a mission to create and sustain social value." (Google)
I think social entrepreneurship is a great act do to the fact it provides many more options and ways for people to go about doing things. I think that when social entrepreneurs step up and complete their goal, or minimize the issue they're working on to improve, it benefits everyone. It makes less things that are needed to worry about. (Ex: Scott Harrison and the water) I think it's a great thing but I don't know how you would pick what you would like to improve on in the world. There are so many crisis's that it would be hard to chose.

original television programming that will follow the company’s model of

I could help this organization by paying closer attention to the commercials to know what they mean so I get more information from a reliable company/source.
Akaya Windwood: Rockwood Leadership Institute- which encourages leadership of everyone. She started it because she wanted her community to be a better place. *I could help this organization by also setting out to make my community a better place by talking to people about what ways that we can improve the community and leading it into a new, more powerful direction.
If I had to become a social entrepreneur, I would definetley do something that interests me so I have motivation to do it more and not get bored of it. I woulld first take a look at all the things I could fix then pick the one that interests me the most and choose that idea to make a difference in the world.
