After watching the video about social Entrepreneurship, I‘m really upset to see so many people live in the same world as us have totally different life. However, fortunately, we have social entrepreneurs to make “so many people so happy” even with small amount of money.

I’m always considering the meaning of life, why do people alive? What should we do? For businessmen, what is their role in the society? I think if their business can help more people get rid of poverty, create more employment and help poor people improve their health state, then they are doing the right thing.

Also it doesn’t  matter if you don’t have enough money, like Muhammad Yunus in the video, some social entrepreneurs are trying to use their amazing business ideas to help people in poor area make enough money to live a better life. As a member of Sauder school of business, I’m so proud to see that we are doing a really good job to help people in developing countries get out their trouble by providing them the most effective strategies.
