Taking Responsiblity

     Responsibility is defined as being held accountable or to blame for someones actions. Personal responsibility is simple anything that a person, and that person alone has done or needs to do. In many situations people don't take full responsibility for things they should, and sometimes do take responsibility for things they had no type of control over. Someone who does not care about other people would most likely not take responsiblility for their actions. But someone who is kind and caring may feel like everything is there fault when really they had nothing to do with the situation.
     If something bad happens when a person is involved in it, then they bear some type of responsibility. For example, when a little kid says a bad word because they repeated it from one of their siblings. This is not fully there fault because they repeated what they heard and was never taught not to say it. Their older sibling is responsible for the behavior of their younger sibling because he/she never told the kid that they are not to repeat it or say it was simply a bad word. Thats a situation when a person can blame their actions on another person because they simply was never taught about it.
     One control his or hers actions, and nobody else is responsible for those actions. For instance, if someone is involved in an scam, he/she would be more responsible for it than if someone was just slightly involved in the scam. The slightly involved person is still slighty responsible for it and therefor should recieve slight consequences. Either way a person should take responsibility for any action they take. Direct actions require responsibility, indirect is beyond one's control and sight so one should not be held responsible for such thing.
