Shaping society definition
Shaping society means changing conditions in society and altering the way that society operates and perceives itself. In the past (and probably also the present), technology has been a significant shaper of society, affecting how and where we all live. Media companies have also been cited as important shapers of society in the past 100 years or so, because film has changed the way in which society viewed itself. Companies control resources and make decisions about the future of technology. They are instrumental in shaping society. Johnson and Scholes argued that ethical companies recognize this role that they have, and their decisions and actions are taken with a view to creating benefits for society and improving the well-being of society.
