What is Responsibility?
When people refer to the problems of welfare they often state that people need to take responsibility for their actions.
Same applies to living a healthy lifestyle - don't eat at McDonalds. Don't drink sodas. Exercise. Be responsible.
What does that mean - "be responsible"? Is responsibility an inherent human attribute? Are we all born with it?
What does it mean to be irresponsible? Is it irresponsible to eat a McDonalds salad instead of a McDonalds hamburger?
Does your concept of responsibility and irresponsibility mean that nothing that impacts your life is out of your control?
Is it irresponsible to be born to parents who are irresponsible?
(I put this in Politics because 'being responsible' is frequently offered as the final solution to so many problems and issues in society for which political 'solutions' are commonly used.)
