There are many definitions for social design and the term is put to very many different uses around the globe. It is sometimes defined as a design process that contributes to improving human well being and livelihood. It says that creative professionals and designers have a responsibility and are able to cause change in the real world.
It is also defined as a an activity and that it should not be framed with connotations of charity, aid donations, help, etc... It is not voluntary work but should be seen as professional contribution that plays a part in the local economic development or livelihood.
Some say that social design focuses on designing systems that join elements of communication, new product development, and the environment. It is also increasingly used to describe the design of the social world.
I would like to thank Wikipedia for helping me do this assignment.

This is a cursory response. The point here, as I have said in class twice, is for you all to discover something of the breadth and depth of the social design movement. By conducting a true investigation into the social design movement you will be better informed about what creative, innovative people are doing in terms of social design. This will assist you in your work in this class. Don't be lazy...get engaged.
