Personal Responsibility

     I feel as if personal responsibility can be defined in a couple of ways depending on whose defining it. From the an irresponsible person point of view, they only feel as if they are personally responsible if the action is specifically caused by them. But from a responsible persons point of view one should take personal responsibly for any action associated with them, accept the consequences, and understand that what they do impacts not only them but anybody close to them.
   When something bad happens that involves you, how do you know whether or not you bear some responsibility for it?this is an interesting question that can be answered in multiple ways, but i feel as if i have a good example that can answer it good ; when something bad happens that involves you know you bear some responsibility for it if you were extremely involved or knew the person who did the action's motive. If you were totally uninvolved or unaware of the persons motives while helping or accompanying them while they are doing the action you should not bear any responsibly because nothing that happened was your fault.

Exploring the unknown

     There are many ways in which people throughout the ages have explored the unknown. A more specific way that people have explored the unknown is through traveling. People can travel across the world or just travel around their town, their city, their state, or their country. 
Sometimes when people are exploring the unknown they have a basic idea of what they're looking for and others do not. Individuals devoted themselves to a life of exploration and discovery because once they have their mind set on something they feel as if they need to achieve it and others just basically do it for the thrill of exploring the unknown and making it known. Individuals who devote themselves to a life of exploration and discovery have to make some sacrifices like leaving there families, not having any time for themselves, and possibly even their future because they can never be sure that they are going to return but with such devotion none of that matters to them.
