How Duties & Responsibilities of Citizens

A responsibility is a duty or obligation of a man to do something or not to be something. As the inhabitants of a society, We all have some particular responsibilities. 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. It does not matter how smart we are, there is only so much responsibility that a person can handle. It is also important to remember that we are not responsible for things that are out of our control, for example, how other people feel or how they react to ourselves or others. Sharing responsibility for both success and failure can lead to increased responsibility to oneself and others. When you hear the word "responsibility," what do you think of first? Many people think of the word BLAME, as in, "Whose responsibility is this?" I think of responsibility as seizing what's in front of you, exerting choice, and taking control. The real meaning of responsibility is the ability to respond. It's going out and creating what you want through personal choices. The responsibility that each of us has that we are completely, 100% responsible for how our lives turn out. If you think that being responsible at all times is too hard or too easy, think again; the truth falls somewhere in between. Being responsible involves having some skills, a caring and open attitude, and a good sense of what we can and cannot do. We have a choice to pick out "duties." But I'm "responsible" for myself. You can't drink a glass of water for me. You can't eat a sandwich for me. You could cook a beautiful steak and put it in front of me, but you can't eat it for me, is that correct? And you can't go to the bathroom for me. So I'm "responsible" for all that. I'm responsible for how I feel. You can't think for me. You can't act for me. You can't do any of those things.   Responsibility is the social force that binds humans to their obligations and the courses of action demanded by that force. Simply put, following rules given by those in authority is an example of human responsibility. Humans have always struggled with the issue of human responsibility, even the great philosopher Aristotle admitted that there were cases in which he felt it was too difficult to either find a person responsible or not responsible for their actions. Therefore, we need a structured set of characteristics to describe responsibility. There are many basic defining characteristics of moral responsibility that can be used as a model to decide whether a person should be held accountable for their actions. One of which is, whether  the person causally contributed to the event happening, either passively or actively. The knowledge, skills and attitudes we gain at home, at school and in the society will help us to accept our responsibilities and carry them out effectively.
