What Responsibility Means to Me
What responsibility means to me Being responsible refers to our ability to make decisions that serve our own interests and the interests of others. We first need to be responsible for ourselves before we can be responsible for others. In learning to be more responsible it is important that we know our limitations. It does not matter how smart we are, there is only so much responsibility that one person can handle at any given time. It is also important to remember that we are not responsible for things that are out of our control, for example, how other people think and feel or how they react to ourselves or others.
Sharing responsibility for both success and failure can lead to increased responsibility to oneself and to others. I plan to be a parent some day and as such will need to depend on my partner to make good choices. Every choice we make will affect the people around us. Who my children will look up look up to will be very important in their development. I will need to teach them morality and the differences between right from wrong as well as instill in them the values of today’s society so they can be productive members of said society when they reach adulthood.
I also have responsibility my pet for they are part of our family. I am responsible for their health, well being and care. This mean I have to take care of their shots and other medical needs. Pets are a big responsibility in many ways not just their health but in their happiness as well what I give them in love I get back tenfold.
There are also responsibilities to society that are very important to me. I need to follow the rules that all people have to follow that are set by today’s society. One must be aware that there are consequences for being an irresponsible member of society. The likelihood of getting arrested is doubled when you intentionally behave reckless. Rules and responsibility are put in place to save us from the chaos that is human life.
