Society cannot be segregated from business. This is a clear message from the Ramayana. The Ramayana illustrates how business affects and is affected by the society it operates in. If the social structures are disturbed, the businesses are automatically threatened. It is critical to have a harmonious relationship between business and society in order to keep businesses safe and successful. The Ramayana emphasizes that having a harmonious relationship between business and society is essential for economic success. Take the example of Ayodhya. It was one of the most prosperous kingdoms at that time. Under the protection of the Dashratha, the kingdom flourished. There were not only commercial opportunities within the borders of the kingdom but also abroad.

The study of interpersonal interactions in society is known as "sociology. In sociology, the three pillars of society are commerce, government, and civil society. People in business belong to a variety of social groups and play a variety of social roles. Managers' societal obligations may conflict with their professional responsibilities.

These three pillars of society are forged in the fire of wars and conquests, for unrest and rebellion cannot create a strong empire. During times of war, it is often difficult for people in business to reconcile their societal obligations with their professional responsibilities. Governments should keep that in mind and try to keep peace and act diplomatically. Governments should recognize the fact that there is an inherent tension between the obligations of business and their own obligations to society.

Critical thinking is the foundation of sociology, where evidence and interpretations are questioned for bias or error. We assume that if we trust someone, they will only tell us the truth. We further assume that there isn't another way to interpret the data that might lead to a different set of conclusions.

With sociology, we are reminded that people, not the systems they design, are what matter. Sociology provides the big picture of how politics and economics fit together. Because we choose which business facts to believe, our understanding of business is flawed. By applying sociological knowledge and critical thinking, we can spot problems and fix them. We can also be sure that people, their rights, and their well-being are at the core of what we do.

Some rulers ignore it. Nevertheless, it is critical to keep in mind that justice and fair business practices are necessary components of a healthy and successful economy. When Ravana landed on Indian shores, he was determined to conquer the whole country. The kingdoms of Bharata were very rich and prosperous. Conquering these would give his kingdom an advantage both socially, economically, and politically, but the absence of the king from the throne may encourage rebellion and civil unrest. Ravana was well aware of this, so he implemented some measures to ensure fairness and justice. But the truth is that Lanka needed "Lankeswara" more than anyone else. Lanka needed its king to be present in order to maintain harmony and order, as well as to create a unified nation. Ravana returned to Lanka, but he established military camps in and around the forests of powerful kingdoms to keep a watch on them. He also had spies throughout the land to keep an eye on the activities of his people, ensuring that all were aware of what was happening and that justice was served. The definition of justice was different for Ravana. Ravana's justice was based on the strength of his personal power and his unquestioned authority. Among the several trusted ministers, officers, and commanders he left in India was Soorpanakha. Soorpanakha's main purpose was to act as an enforcer of Ravana's justice, and her mission was to oversee the kingdom and keep it in order. Days turned to months and months to years, and reports from the Indian subcontinent were fewer and fewer. Soon, though, Soorpanakha began to feel the strain of Ravana's oppressive justice.

Ravana's biggest flaw as a king was that he was not connected with his people's businesses. As a result, he was unable to accurately gauge the effects his decisions had on them, leading to widespread discontent. To make matters worse, Ravana's oppressive justice had caused a sense of apathy among the citizens.

Lanka was in a festive mood. Ravana has defeated the gods, and on his way back to Lanka, he captured the territories of the Nagas, Yakshas, Humans, Sages, Demons, and Ogres. All of them submitted to his might and power. This sense of superiority led to Ravana's arrogance, causing him to believe that he could never be defeated. Those who dared to resist were killed, and their sisters, mothers, wives, and daughters became slaves. A thousand Apsaras were also taken captive. For Ravana, queens, mothers, daughters, and sisters of the defeated were just women for taking because their males couldn't protect them, and so they were now Ravana's property. This behavior reflects the gender dynamics of this era and how women were seen as inferior to men, not just in terms of power, but also in terms of their value as human beings. Such a disparity between genders was common in ancient societies, and the example of Ravana illustrates just how much power men had over women. This power imbalance was seen not only in the disparity between men and women, but also in how they were treated. Like herds of cattle, they were often bought, sold, and traded in order to satisfy the needs of powerful men in the Lanka. They forcefully boarded the huge Puspaka aircraft as cries and screams rang through the sky. It is difficult to imagine the terror Ravana's women would have felt as they were forcefully taken from their homes and families, transported to unknown lands, and taken away from any semblance of safety. Finally, the aircraft landed on Lanka, and the royal band began to play. Festivities began. The music and rejoicing, however, could not mask the feelings of dread among the kidnapped women.

What Ravana forgot was that he too had a beloved sister, Soorpankha, and she could too meet the same fate. He didn't care about the love and protection he could give Soorpankha. Instead, he just wanted to do what he wanted.

The festivities that had been going for days were suddenly disrupted by a deadly silence. All lamps were extinguished, businesses and shops closed, and the dance halls and liquor shops fell dead. A news story contaminated everything. Lanka's joy had been completely engulfed by sorrow. Someone has disfigured Soorpankha and chopped off her nose, killed all fourteen thousand warriors single handedly, and destroyed military camps in the Dandakaranya forests. Rama and Laksmana are exiled princes. They looked like sages but carried bows. Soorpanka had a skirmish with them.

Had Ravana not crushed those kingdoms and established friendly relationships, trade would have flourished. His wealth and resources would have helped him establish diplomatic and economic ties with the rich and powerful kingdoms of India. Had he respected their cultures, diversity would have flourished. Soorpanka’s skirmish with Ravana on the islands of Asampuri was emblematic of the greater issue at hand: the destruction of these kingdoms created an environment in which trust, wealth, and cultural diversity were all stifled. Ravana ignored the signs. He failed to recognize that by plundering the wealth of these kingdoms, he was not only squandering their resources but also impeding potential diplomatic and economic gains. Had he chosen to respect the autonomy of the kingdoms, Ravana could have not only benefited from economic growth and increased wealth, but also strengthened his diplomatic ties.

The study of interpersonal interactions in society is known as "sociology. Science is the systematic, empirically-based study of both the natural and social worlds. Every branch of social science revolves around the idea that people have power over one another and can sway others with their prejudicial viewpoints. Economic movements exist to challenge the current economic system, just as movements against climate change challenge the abuse of power.

The term "consumerism" refers to overindulgent consumption that harms both the consumer and the natural and social environment. By collaborating, forming groups and organizations, we can achieve more. We all consume to live, not to live; words that end in "ism" frequently refer to ideologies. Social science reveals the beliefs and values of people who are leaders. Social scientists can be compared with journalists, who share similar skills in critical inquiry. While pressure groups from civil society may be motivated by emotion, social scientists are motivated by new discoveries. The image of an organization is only as good as that of its leaders. "Business" is a type of organization through which people trade with each other. Buyers and sellers form a group of people we call the market. The market has shared beliefs, values, and behaviors. Some people in the market will have more power than others to agree on the rules. Interpersonal relations are the cornerstone of all social sciences. Local residents hold the owners of locally owned and operated businesses socially accountable. Big business owners may band together with other wealthy individuals to form a community to support one another against those who might undermine their exclusive group.

Sitting on the golden throne, the wails of his beloved sisters were unbearable. She has now come to him with no news of victory but defeat. Local residents may feel that big business owners are not part of their community, and as such, they lack a shared sense of responsibility and accountability. This accountability was on Ravana, his military lost significant ground in Bharata, which was funded by taxes collected from businesses in Sri Lanka and the occupied region. One of the surprising things was that it was a human prince who did this! Ravana already saw the prince in the palace of Janaka, he saw his power and his might. The way he lifted the bow as if it were a toy and broke it into pieces! How could he ignore such an opponent? He could not, so Ravana thought of a cunning plan to make sure he did not have to face him in battle. Ravana's golden palace, decked with rubies, jades, sapphires, and several other precious gems, seems to have no answer to Soorpanakha's painful wails. His formidable generals, like Udigra, who still has wounds from Indra's Vajra on his body, stood motionless. The priests, who were singing Ravana's praises with folded hands, fell silent. Surrounded by Apsaras, he was abducted from the heavens Ravana, who looked like a snow-clad mountain decked in most precious jewelry and garments, descended from his throne and stood in front of his sister. Surrounded by his brothers, Ravana stood in the court of the gods like a sun surrounded by stars. Yet there was something in Ravana's demeanor that spoke of his pride and arrogance.

Soorpankha spoke, uncovering her face,

"Look at me, Ravana; what he has done to me. "If you still remain silent after seeing this, the exiled prince will surely come for you too."

Ravana looked at her in rage as his eyes turned red. He thundered,

" Be assured, sister, even Lord Yama does not dare to anger me. Because he knows who I am. ""Tell me everything in detail."

What did Ravana ignore so that he had to pay such a heavy price? There must be something to produce for trade to take place. Unaware of the long-term effects, some irreplaceable raw materials might be used up. In reality, the community cedes control to an elite that divides and rules it by paying off the powerful and intimidating the weak.

Human interactions are the foundation of all social sciences. People with absolute power come together as a social group when they have power over others. The elite at the top of the heap rely on the heap remaining stable. They can be knocked down by movements within the group of people beneath them without the group itself being destroyed. In sociology, the characteristics of a place, such as its size and surroundings, are significant. Big business owners are unlikely to know many of their clients personally. Accountability in a small town can cause an owner to become socially isolated. International movements are necessary to hold large multinational corporations accountable.

Soorpanakha described everything about Rama to Ravana and how the two brothers destroyed the military camp and killed Khara and Dushana. He lived in a cottage in the forest with his brother and wife. He looked like a sage but carried a bow and quiver full of arrows. He is a fierce warrior with mastery over celestial weapons.

"Dasarati Rama! "He has an intense, dark complexion, a broad chest, and is strong armed." Ravana inquired, recalling the meeting in the palace of Janaka.

"Yes, yes, yes!" "He is the same one!" exclaimed Soorpanakha.

" And as far as I can recall, Sita is the daughter of Janaka. Her skin is the color of Champa flowers. "She is a bidding coward who appears to be extremely soft." continued Ravana.

"Yes, brother, have you met them?" asked Soorpanakha.

"And as far as my spies tell me, he has been exiled from both society and the throne of Ayodhya." As he spoke, Ravana snarled.

" I have heard that he is following his father's orders, he is roaming in the forests of Dandakaranya." recalled Soorpanakha.

"It feels quite magical and unreal that only two brothers killed fourteen thousand of my men, along with their companions!" Ravana looked surprised.

" Magical indeed!" supported Soorpanakha.

"But how did the conflict start?" asked Ravana.

"I heard from our spies that a young sage has created a new cottage in the forest. According to your orders, this was prohibited in the forests. So I went to inspect the situation myself. There, I came across his godly looks. "When I saw him, I fell in love with him and disguised myself as a beautiful woman to inquire about his whereabouts. During the conversation, I found out that he was the prince of Ayodhya. I also gave him my introduction, emphasizing that I am the only sister of the mighty Ravana and descendant of the great sage Visharbha." Soorpankha continued and slowly unraveled everything about the conflict for him. Soorpankha also told him the reason for her visit and why she wanted to marry him, but Rama refused and told her to speak with Laksmana. He wanted Laksmana to explain why she couldn’t marry him, as it would be against their family values and traditions. Instead, Laksmana refused her as well, saying that he was just a slave and she would inherit a life of slavery. Soorpankha was enraged by this, but Rama explained to her the importance of honoring his family traditions and not disrupting the balance that existed in their society.

?

From the above conversation, it becomes very clear that Rama values societal norms. He believes that society is the core of every business and is the driving force of the kingdoms. He also believes that tradition and culture should be respected, and one should strive to maintain the balance that exists in society. Local residents hold the owner of a locally owned and operated business socially accountable. Big business owners may band together with other wealthy individuals to form a community to support one another against those who might undermine their exclusive group. In real life, it is impossible to be completely consistent in what you believe and what you value. The current financial system is seen as unfair by many. Despite widespread support for changing the system, the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic only served to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Soorpankha was an extension of Ravana's power and authority in the Dandakaranya forests. Rama's conversation with her can be interpreted as the psychological persuasion of Ravana toward the society of Bharata. He tried to convince them that he was more educated and knowledgeable than they were, so they must accept his rules and let him establish a new world order, which he described as "Raksha Sanskriti." When the amygdala is hijacked, our emotions are controlled, and we are unable to make decisions. The purpose of words and images is to activate the pleasure center of the brain. The foundation of psychological persuasion is this. Leaders dehumanize their followers by using psychology to persuade rather than encouraging rational thought.

Soorpanakha tried it on Rama. She proposed to be his wife and got emotionally connected with him. She chose her words wisely, trying to activate Rama's pleasure centers of the brain. She also attempted to dehumanize him by claiming to be of Visharva ancestry and the only sister of the mighty Ravana, who has conquered the three worlds. Humans, demons, ogres, nagas, yakshas, and even gods bow to him. Rama, who has been exiled from his kingdom, is lucky. He has learned that a royal princess has proposed to him because she desires his company and should immediately accept it. Being a charming and handsome young man, his place was not in the forest but in the royal palace.

Rama's message was clear. He cannot ignore social customs and norms, no matter how royal and learned Ravana might be. Unlike Ravana, he believed that society provided a solid foundation for the kingdoms and businesses that profited from it. There are as many views on life and society as there are individuals. Just because society can be viewed in different ways does not mean "there is no such thing as society."

Soorpanakha felt insulted, because all she had known throughout her life was that kingdoms create societies, which go on to create businesses to profit the kingdoms, not the other way around. She saw her brothers destroy existing societies and create new ones that they found to be right. For her, words like "love," "affection," "loyalty," "trust," etc. were mere words that weak people used to limit themselves with. Lanka was a limitless empire. These words have long since lost their meaning. They were adherents of a new societal order in which weakness was despised. Weakness was not tolerated in Lanka. Weak men were killed by strongmen, and their women were taken captive to give birth to the children of strong men. Might was right in the city of Lanka. To assert your might, you can use any form of disguise or persuasion method. Weakness has no right to exist on this planet.

Rama corrected her. He showed her that she had misinterpreted humility and respect as weakness. Rama's silence is not his weakness. He certainly respected her views on society, but just like her, he was also free with his views. She cannot impose her views on him by dehumanizing him.

Based on particular presumptions about the nature of society, there are four main theoretical approaches to sociology. In the social sciences, having different points of view at the same time gives a more complete picture of what is being looked at. This model can be used by businesses to forecast the effects that a specific business action might have on society. A systems approach would divide society into business, government, and civil society. According to the second theoretical perspective, conflicts exist between various societal segments. While customers aim to minimize the price, suppliers want to maximize it. Consumers may act against both their own and society's best interests. Business and government are likely to clash with civil society. Both authoritarian societies and democracies modeled after Western nations experience this type of conflict. The symbolic interactionism method is sneaky. The use of psychological manipulation to manipulate others becomes "reasonable." It might rest more on faith than on facts. To their advantage, leaders can spread ideas that are harmful to their followers. The strategy promotes deceit and "fake news" so that populist leaders can manipulate public sentiment. A utilitarian philosophy known as communitarianism strongly emphasizes social justice.

The premise of consensus theory is that there are some social norms, like social justice, that are universally accepted. According to the consensus theory, a decision becomes "the will of the people" when the majority of people agree on it. A more closely knit group has less variation in individual beliefs. The premise of rational choice theory is that each person would make the same decision. It has the same flaw as consensus theory in that we make decisions using both logic and emotions. Only because of social consensus can business function at the scale it does. Global movements, like communism and democracy, have an impact on the power of nations as well. The impact of China's social consensus on people in other nations will increase as China's standing in global markets rises. Civil rights movements led to the UN Declaration of Human Rights and other UN initiatives.

Business should not come into conflict with society. Businesses exist because of society. When businesses try to crush societies, problems arise. The financial risk of failing to turn a profit is shared by owners and lenders. Frequently, share capital is insufficient to support the owners' business. A company's assets could be stolen by powerful shareholders working with directors. Owners and lenders have an equal stake in the company's success, but they disagree on how losses should be distributed. Owners run businesses that lend money. Major owners and lenders are typically members of the same social class and share an interest in the financial system. Customers of a specific company can communicate with representatives via social media or a company website. Some businesses have even sued customers for online comments. Politics will rule where politicians are at the top of the food chain of authority. However, politicians must first have control over or an alliance with the wealthy. Employers create jobs through their companies. Politicians all have a financial vested interest in people having jobs. One definition of corporate social responsibility is the company's responsibility to the public.

What Rama stresses in his words and actions is the importance of CSR. In a society where money is the most important thing, the most important thing a business can do for society is create paid jobs. Many people in society prioritize helping others over making money, but in reality they want both. People like this might support the movement for social change, but they might also be against social change in the economy. The definition of "social" is something that has to do with society as a whole. According to Rousseau, the only thing that can make a government rule is the consent of the people. He implied that only people had the authority to decide what was legal and what was not by using the word "contract." Power can be destroyed by disorganized protest, but only organized protest can restore it. Powerful individuals must refrain from abusing their position to the point where the oppressed feel they have nothing to lose by rebelling against them in order to maintain a stable social order. Violence and unexpected social unrest are products of such desperation. When a strong group seizes territory occupied by another group, colonies are created. A powerful strategy for dividing and conquering is to rule through preexisting social groups. A strong group colonizes a weaker one and imposes its culture, ideals, and beliefs.

Corporates must prioritize social issues in their CSR efforts. People who must make due with less money may disagree with the need to maximize profit. Businesses would seek consensus under CSR, but their top priorities would still be their need for profit and cash flow. Any organization that operated solely on this premise would quickly degenerate into anarchy. The maxim "the end justifies the means" is another example of utilitarianism. By allowing collateral damage that does not affect us directly, we simplify our goals. Choosing which groups or groups of people will suffer, at least relatively, from decisions made using this approach presents an ethical challenge.

Here, a question arises. What are the conditions for continued power? The following points should be considered by corporations that wish to enjoy continued power.

1. Rule of law: The exercise of power should not be arbitrary. Laws should be well-defined and established. Those in power should not act outside the law.
2. Transparency: All the reasons and reasoning, logic and deductions, for the exercise of power should be open to scrutiny. No secrets. No misrepresentation.
3. Accountability: Individuals and groups of people making decisions should be identifiable and be able to explain their actions to others. Those breaking the law can then be punished, and those breaking a moral code can be named and shamed.
4. Responsiveness: Those with power should try to serve all stakeholders within a reasonable timeframe.
5. Effectiveness and efficiency: The organization’s processes meet the needs of its stakeholders and make the best use of the resources (human, technological, financial, natural, and environmental) at its disposal.
6. Consensus-oriented: Those with power should seek to mediate between the many different needs, perspectives, and expectations of diverse stakeholders. Decisions should show a deep understanding of the historical, cultural, and social context of the community.
7. Equity and inclusiveness: To avoid being abused by power, all the members of the community should feel included and empowered to improve or maintain their situations. In particular, those individuals and groups that are the most vulnerable should be included in decisions that affect them.
8. Participation: Stakeholders need to be informed and organized. Freedom of association and organized civil society play key roles.
