Responsibility is
defined as owning up and taking on the blame or praise for one's action, or
having duty. Being responsible is an important step in life which symbolizes
the transition from a child to an adult. A virtue is a behavior that shows
moral standards. In my opinion, the world would be a much better place if
everyone learned some simple virtues.
Characteristics of a
responsible person include loyalty, diligence, competence, hardworking, etc.
Loyalty is sticking by someone in times of crisis, diligence is careful and
persistent work or effort, competence is knowing what one is doing and if they
don't asking to make sure they are doing it right, and hardworking is working
to the best of one's ability.
Being responsible is a
virtue because it is a key character trait everyone should hold. The lives of
the ill are not left in the hands of irresponsible people. They are left in the
hands of doctors, policemen, and firefighters. You wouldn't put the fate of the
world, country, city, or a household in the hands of irresponsible people
would? Neither would I. All power is held by responsible people. All
responsible people are defined by power. Therefore, all responsible people are
powerful.
I too agree that responsibility is a very important virtue in our society. Many times people are not kept responsible for their actions and in my opinion that is wrong, everyone should be responsible for their actions and take consequences for what they have done.
ReplyDeleteThe last line "Therefore, all responsible people are powerful" is a strong message. I agree because if one can own up to their behavior no one can put them down because they have already accepted the fact that " yeah, I did mess up and I'm going to fix it". Responsibility is a trait that everyone should hold definitely. Allows the world to be a better place step by step.

ReplyDeleteI agree that responsibility is a very important virtue. Because if a lot more people were more responsible the world would actually be a better place. The reason why is because if people just accept there responsiblity than people wouldn't say anything to make them feel bad they would think there mature and be willing to trust them again to be responsible.
ReplyDeleteI agree that responsibility is one of the most important virtues that someone could have. Being a responsible person opens so many doors for a person, gains trust, and certainly brings you farther and more successful in things like school or a job.
ReplyDeleteYour last line, "Therefore, all responsible people are powerful." i think the statement is a little to broad, In my opinion not all responsible people are powerful, in order to have power you need much more then responsibility, therefore i don't agree that all responsible people are powerful.
