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.
