Responsibilities
Almost every time one turns on the television he will see some sort of
advertisement. Shoes, cars, phone companies, and many other
products are advertised every day. We see all sorts of commercials
where the end is full of fine lines that are displayed so fast that one,
whom is not a speed reader, could never read it before it is taken off of
the screen. This leaves the viewer with only the knowledge of what he
saw in the commercial without the fine wording at the end. There are
also radio advertisements, billboards, and fliers containing false or
misleading advertisements. Is it fair that many of the advertisements
that businesses have today are misleading? No, this is not fair. I
believe that business’s have an ethical responsibility to society to be
honest, not misleading. Reasons that I believe this include: fairness
and moral obligation.
An ad on the television states that used cars can be bought for a
very small amount. This makes one want to run out and buy the car.
He goes to see the car. It looks and drives fine. The salesman says
that the car has had one owner, and had never had any problems. The
customer buys the car. A couple days later the car has some major
problems. With a little searching on the title, the owner found out the car
had been wrecked. This is not fair. It is not fair for advertisements or
salesmen to be misleading. This customer has officially been “ripped
off”. This is not uncommon, How is one supposed to trust businesses
when they have been “ripped off” and seen or heard of other people
being ripped off?
What ever happened to people that had morals that governed their
everyday life? Salesmen can look one straight in the eye, without even
flinching, and tell a bold faced lie. This is very wrong. Other people “get
around” having to tell one a lie, For example, the car salesman
mentioned above was not asked if the car had been involved in an
accident. He did not exactly lie, but was morally incorrect. This is very
wrong. Businesses have a moral obligation to be honest.

used to show the normal frame or characters with part of a background. For example, the long shot was

Economic and social statistical data rarely differentiate men who are not fathers from those who are fathers. Again, very little information concerning fatherhood and what fathers want is available to people. Written literature on fatherhood and written accounts about fatherhood from men who are fathers are also relatively rare. There is certainty that the environment around fatherhood has increasingly changed when it comes to domestic domain, employment and breadwinning, the structure of the family and employment (FNF 2011). The quality of families, mainly between fathers and sons, fathers and daughters is nurtured by quality of fatherhood. Children especially the ones at the teenage level require firm leadership from their fathers now and in the future. Most children perform well in schools when their father take interest in their education and helps them where possible. In many cases, children have become more confident when the father spends time and creates time to be with them taking care of them and showing them affection. Children also learn through watching their fathers’ logical reasoning and observing how they make their decisions. Therefore, this paper is going to analyze the important issues concerning fatherhood and the importance of fatherhood in social policies.
“Responsibility is the state or fact of being accountable or to blame for something. Being responsible means having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role.” “Being responsible means being the primary cause of something, and so able to be blamed or credited for it.” This is what the dictionary says, responsibility, and being responsible means. To me, responsibility means nearly the same as the dictionary, taking blame, or being accountable for something. To me, being responsible means being entrusted with something, and fulfilling that trust, and if you are not able to fulfill that trust, then taking the blame for that.
An example of how state responsibility can be important to international organization. The Secretary – General of the UN sent a letter to the President of the International Court of Justice in December of 1948. (Trygve 1948) The Secretary- General wanted the International Court of Justice to give their advisory opinion on a legal question that the General Assembly had. They wanted to know that if an agent of the UN got injured while performing their duties involving the responsibility of state does the UN as an organization have the ability to bring an international claim against the responsible party. They also wanted to know if they could obtain reparation due to the damaged caused to the UN, to the victim, or to the persons entitled through them. (Trygve 1948) Here is an example of an international organization wanting to have the same rights as states when it comes to state responsibility and reparations.
Roles are “the function assumed, or part played by a person or thing in a particular situation.” There are several different roles I play in day to day; I can not imagine how my life would be if my roles were different. I am a son, brother and role model to my younger peers. Although it is strenuous to stay consistent, I play these roles every day in life. While playing these roles I am constantly faced with obstacle and challenges, but I always persevere and lead by example.
If rewards have to serve developmental goals then the person receiving the reward should know which accomplishments are being complimented. Hence, role clarity as well as accountability is very important. [8] Performance appraisal enhances role clarity and accountability in the organisation.
Upon receipt of approval for the project proposal, you are supposed to develop the project plan which reflects the anticipated execution of the proposed project.
Around the world in Christian and secular circles we hear the word stewardship. Not only is stewardship one of the basic issues discussed in scripture, but it’s also something we neglect as something we need to concentrate on while going through our own Christian walk. We live in a society that is very individualistic, concentrating on whatever will bring pleasure and make us feel good. Stewardship definitely doesn’t fit into the way society is today. Before going to far into this, what exactly is stewardship? Stewardship is taking care of or managing every God-given resource with an attitude of responsibility directing such resources for his intended purposes. To truly understand stewardship, we need to first look at what God says in his inherent word about this issue. The stewardship principle is a three-part practice.
To be socially responsible, an individual or a group has to take a stand and lead, along with behave with a sense of strength and caring in order to do what’s right. This entails multiple sections of individuals, such as students, companies, and communities. Each party can be socially responsible in their own way, based on how they feel and what it takes to keep what they believe in, in check. It all comes down to a balance; in order to be and act socially responsible one must strive on being positive.
Is it true that both parents from a family should bare an equal responsibility in order to take care of their own children? Yes, it is important because parents can play an important role in helping their children strengthen their behaviors, skills, attitudes and motivation that promote their physical and mental health. A child should have love and care from both sides of parents because when he or she grows up, his or her parents should teach him or her many life lessons and nurture him or her by their sophisticated experiences. Parents must realize that for raising a child, they must put in an equal amount of effort so that the child can learn new things and also prevent the child from straying off the right path for his or her upcoming future. It is a typical situation where the father is the one who is assumed as not being a part of raising his child. Statistics show that 33% of mothers but only 13% of fathers look after their own children (Drew and Humbert, “Men Careers”). Unlike men, whether most of the women are housewives or employed, only women have to look after their children, however, both parents should share the responsibilities equally on their child in childhood, in teen ages and in adulthood too.
Obligations are a set of unnamed rules we must follow and unstated debts we must settle. Contractual, they represent the repayment and perpetuation of goodwill in the world. Obligations have been described as duties or commitments or as something that should be done because it is the “right” thing to do. However, they only apply to something that should be done, not something that must be done. Although it often may not feel otherwise, fulfilling an obligation is a choice; it’s not mandatory. Why, then, do we so often feel that obligations are not a choice? It is because from a young age we are taught that there are unstated rules we must follow. We watch our parents, our family members, our teachers, and our friends engage in behaviors that
Wise (2014), discusses that within the twenty first century in which the efficient completion of tasks is essential, speed reading is extremely advantageous. Not only does speed reading allow for the quicker acquisition of knowledge, it has shown to influence the brains functionality. Thus, one displays enhanced memory abilities, a higher level of attention and focus as well as a heightened problem solving ability (Wise, 2014). Despite the advantages of an increased reading speed, there is a large and significant disadvantage (Bell, 2001). The danger of developing a rapid reading rate, is that one’s level of comprehension is severely compromised. Therefore, a speed reader would not acquire an adequate amount of information when reading swiftly. It is possible that this disadvantage will have a detrimental effect on the precise completion of various academic and recreational tasks (Bell,
