1). How are organizations tied to the environment? What is the relationship between the school you attend and the city or town in which it is situated? What, if any, ethical obligations does an organization like a college or university have to the local community?
Each and every organization that we experience is tied to the ennvironment in a number of ways. For instance, using the environment's resources, disposing trash into the environment, or simply creating a distinct culture within a specific community.
The school that I attend has a significant relationship with the city of San Jose. The school is responsible for creaitng jobs within the city, stores being built around it, and putting up cultural events that many people from the whole area attend.
The ethical obligation the school has within a community is to make sure that the area of the surrounding is as safe as possible. College students pose a huge danger ot the city as a lot of times alcohol is involved and friends from different area might show up at different events creating potential danger. A metropolian area like San Jose has a lot of residents that move around downtown and it is vital that they are safe at all times.

I too agree that universities have an opportunity to apply to work within the city. San Jose is unique that it shares a downtown area of a major city. It is a mix of businesses with college students working in restaurants, movie theaters, and shops. I think the university and downtown combination has a lot to do with how people travel around the area. I think the traffic makes students ride bikes. I am willing to bet that more business people ride bikes downtown because it is easy but, they see students riding bikes too. Good post.
