responsibility

We often look for the answers (or approvals) for what we are supposed to do in life. But more significantly, we want to know how we can hold others accountable for their responsibilities and duties. Responsibility and blame go hand in hand. Who should we blame and hold responsible when things go wrong?

What government or business department is responsible for and should take action on...? With liability issues,who is responsible for and ought to cover the problem? What is the responsibility of business for environmental matters? Do corporations practice social responsibility? What is the responsibility of our schools to protect our children from violence and bullies? Is it my responsibility in this relationship to and must I...? Lists of responsibility are endless as are the blogs that go along with them.

When we want to know where to complain about something,we seek who is responsible to hold others accountable. To whom do they answer? We want somebody to be responsible. Hot lines, consumer info, and sites like the worst places to work provide us with a venting space to hold someone responsible for whatever has our attention and impacted us negatively.
