Individual responsibility

Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions, what that means is that when you do something, make a decision, whatever it may be, take responsibility for them. Being a leader of any kind, at any level means someone either looks up to you, or they simply look to you for guidance. When you have people under you, or that you are in charge of, you have to be on top of things, know how to handle any situation, and if you do not know how to handle a situation, then know where you can…

fact that he/she just didn't see it. It becomes your individual responsibility to signal to the riders around you and behind you that there is an obstacle in the road. Other riders depend heavily on these signals; riding as a group reduces your view of the road. Any rider that is uncomfortable with the speed of the ride, should motion the riders behind to pass and take a forward position. The Ride Safety Officer will take the responsibility to ride with this person separately or stop to assist…

With a right to life comes a right to a decent quality of life, including ambitions, individual identity and autonomy. To many people, having children is in keeping with and/or essential to these features of existence, but for those for whom it is not, an unwanted child would mean sacrificing all of them – not for 9 months as with the violinist…

Holding responsibility for one’s actions and accepting blame are two different forms of remorse. Although, ostensibly they seem to overlap and carry the same meaning, the actual engineering of each form of remorse differs greatly in regards to the consequences or even references they are associated with. In individual ministerial responsibility within New Zealand’s government, the consequences are found to be more in the lines of holding responsibility for one’s actions rather than accepting…

Public Good, individuals cannot unite to create Progress. As in the case of risk management and disaster intervention, “for now, the tasks of preparation, response, and recovery rest with myriad organizations that are only loosely coordinated. As a result, long-term efforts to reduce disaster risk are haphazard, and the effectiveness of government response and recovery efforts is unpredictable and varies by region” (Lakoff, 2010). When individuals fail to take collective responsibility,…

influenced my everyday choices in life. Band is something that I have been involved with for seven years, and I plan to continue in college. Being involved in this wonderful program has taught me responsibility and has nurtured my love for music. In band, everyone is responsible for many things. These responsibilities include having the ability to play an instrument well, having the dedication and commitment it takes to practice long hours until the music is memorized to the point where one can…

As we grow older, we hear about how individuals of upper degree misuse their ability of power. Really, there are three different kinds of powers: ‘shared’, ‘owned’, and ‘aimed’. In Howard Brody’s essay “The Expert Power of Social Healers”, he defines how these powers are used. The most basic form of power is shared power. Shared power makes it “possible to own or disclose one’s power without sharing it” (Ladd 1129). The good thing about this power is it gives one the opportunity to “aim one’s…

It’s a learning curve Little responsibility. No real understanding. Very little concept of how the ‘big world’ works. These are just some of the uncounted ways of being three years old. Despite the idea of growing up isn’t thought of and talked about much it still happens to everyone which means it is still a substantially significant part of everyone life including mine, which has inspired me so much to write about my view and experience of ‘growing up.’ All though being three years old…

I admit that I am guilty and I take full responsibility for the terrible grades I received when I attended CF; I have learned from my mistakes and am willing to give everything towards my education. I sacrificed more than I can write in words, just so I could further my education. I have grown to be…

Many of us have our own responsibilities that we have to deal with and fulfill. We all know that the responsibilities that we have are important, and that is how we live our daily lives by the responsibilities we have. The standard in which we go throughout each and every day is most likely determined by our responsibilities. I am going to give you a couple of responsibilities that we can use in our daily lives. They are Personal Responsibility, Ethics, Integrity, respect for Intellectual…
