So responsibility is conformity to society?
Who dictates society?
Society changes constantly - therefore what is deemed responsibile and what is deemed irresponsible shifts accordingly.
As such, something which you perceive as a responsible course in this society may be perceived by someone else in the same society as an irresponsible course, dependant on each of your perceptions of society in accordance with societal shifts.
Sounds like there is no such thing as responsibility and irresponsibility as it applies to a society as a whole. They are not objective to a society even as some aspects of each may be mutually agreed upon by everyone, or many, or few within a society.
In which case it comes back to the individual - the individuals perceptions of society dictate what they feel is essentially responsible and what is not. The lower overall experience of an individual in society, the lower degree of mutually agreed responsibility within that society.
Experience and education drive an individuals ability to recognize conforming responsible actions within their society.
So how does one use responsibility to determine the worthiness of another?
