Responsibility

Responsibility means being trustworthy and dependable to make mature decisions, even when left alone and without supervision.

Responsibility forms the backbone of moral accountability. When people take responsibility for their actions, they contribute to a more just and functional society.

There are many types and domains of responsibility, including personal responsibility, professional responsibility, ethical responsibility, economic responsibility (not spending money recklessly!), environmental responsibility, social responsibility, and corporate social responsibility.

Example of Responsibility
When Maria accidentally knocked over a display in the store, she immediately informed the store staff and offered to help clean up the mess. This showed her sense of responsibility as she acknowledged her actions and was willing to rectify the situation.
