Module 7: What are the Links Between Entrepreneurship, Personal Character, and Civil Society?
Civil society refers to all the non-government institutions and associations that make up our communities. Civil society includes things like the family, religious groups, private enterprise, and charitable organizations. In this series of lessons, students will explore the relationship between successful entrepreneurship, personal character, and civil society. Rewards for an entrepreneur’s ethical behavior and good business ethics can be seen in profits and innovation, but it can also be noticed in individual strength of character. Entrepreneurs with strong personal character serve as role models for others in society to follow.
