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?
The textbook states, “Organizations depend on their surroundings for resources and energy” (215). I think this is very true. For example, our school, San Jose State University is using some of the important functions thanks to its particular region, Silicon Valley. As the city, San Jose, has grown to be one of the most advanced cities in a field of technology, SJSU also has grown to be the university that has modern technologies. Using e-mails to contact with professors and other students is a typical way of communication in classes for us, and using laptop computers instead of taking notes in a class is also common in these days at SJSU. These things we take it for granted in SJSU aren’t always there in other schools. The university near my hometown in Japan doesn’t have these functions that SJSU has, such as Blackboard and online courses. We cannot use internet in a café either in my hometown. It is the environment that made possible for SJSU to utilize the advanced technologies on campus.
An organization has ethical obligations to the local community. Since SJSU and San Jose State University is deeply related each other, SJSU has ethical obligations to the city and the community. One of the examples is sending graduated students to local companies. Some of the students who learned IT at SJSU should work in Santa Clara region. If all of the students got jobs in different regions, the city cannot grow anymore nor get benefit of having SJSU.

Its amazing how many opportunities that this campus has to offer for anyone. If there something that this campus can't do for you, they can show you who you can talk to in order to make your goal happen. That is a very important obligation because I think part of what a school is supposed to do is help you any way they can. I would find it hard for me to attend a school that couldn't fulfill my expectations or views. I would probably feel apprehensive about a school who couldn't make feel like I had faith in their obligations.
I like your idea that San Jose State has grown and adapted to the technological environment its is in. I agree the San Jose State is very tech savvy because it is in the Silicon Valley. Computers, blogging, adobe software and more are all incorporated into students classes. Everyone around the school uses the latest technology in their businesses and so does SJSU. It helps the students develop technology skills they will one day use when they have jobs in the community. By supplying students with the knowledge they will need once they graduate, it provides the community with employees who already have the tech skills that are required for the job.
