Responsibility

The phrase “burden of responsibility” sounds like an undertaking that is intimidating and to be avoided at all costs. In the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (LOTR), Peter Jackson illustrates his belief that when an individual is shouldered with a burden of responsibility, they can attain positive results. What could happen when individuals are shouldered with a burden of responsibility is depicted through the protagonists in the film. In the beginning of the film when…

The purpose of this experiment was to test the hypothesis that passive behavior from individuals in a group will signal that the situation is in fact, not dangerous. An individual is less likely to intervene in a situation if bystanders appear passive or if bystanders are there during the circumstance. When witnessing a situation alone, it has been tested, that these individuals reaction rate seem quicker and that the response rate and interpretation of the emergency happened earlier. Although…

Target’s inability to adapt to Canadian consumerism culture proved to be their biggest communication error. Their strategy focused on mimicking American culture rather than building a business model dedicated to Canadian markets which created a perception that Target was not the company for loyal Canadians.

Stanley Milgram was a psychologist professor and in June 1961 he wanted to test people’s obedience to authority. John Darley and Bibb Latane were psychologists who wanted to know why people ignore others cries for help. Both these experiments tie into “Lord of the Flies” by William Goulding in my opinion. And both of the experiments are alike and different in many ways. Milgram wanted to test how well we react to leaders, even if they tell us to do bad things that will hurt others. And Darley…

Pulling from both sides of the discussion, Terence Eagleton in his book Shakespeare and Society: Critical Students in Shakespearean Drama emphasizes a balance, a fusion of two views, personal spontaneity and social responsibility.

Not one person feels responsible to be the one to make a stand about the issue at hand. Additionally, if there is a…
