Answer:

Making judgments about whether a person is morally responsible for her behavior, and holding others and ourselves responsible for actions and the consequences of actions, is a fundamental and familiar part of our moral practices and our interpersonal relationships.

Step-by-step explanation:

Moral responsibility refers to a call to action, where the opposite(inaction) would result in a moral failure. an example would be if you see a person choking, and you know how to perform the Heimlich manuver but rather than help you do nothing. You are by inaction assisting in that persons death.
