The journals of MBA students taking up a course on Corporate Social Responsibility were analyzed using thematic content analysis. The study sought to determine if an important life activity, i.e., taking up the course and undergoing service learning, will result in increased awareness of universalism values, including understanding, appreciation, tolerance and protection for the welfare of all people and for nature (broadminded, wisdom, social justice, equality, a world of peace, a world of beauty, unity with nature, protecting the environment). The analysis revealed the student's greater awareness and sensitivity to several universalism values after this new life experience. It can also be reasoned from their reflection that there is a greater awareness for the environment and human rights and an increased commitment to action to address the needs of their partner communities.
