eventual realization that everyone has responsibilities. Many themes occur throughout the novel, but one can apply to everyone: we all have tasks we must perform in order to achieve a better life. Initially, this theme becomes apparent through Candy and his dog, "' That dog ain't no good to himself. I wisht somebody'd shoot me if I got old an' a cripple'" (Steinbeck 45). The theme is you gotta do what you gotta do. Candy recognizes that it is his responsibility to put down his dog. It is the same with

Frankenstein, responsibility is a key characteristic that is either highly valued and used or quickly squandered and ignored. The way that each book and it’s respective characters use responsibility differs greatly and can only be paralleled through how differently they each decide to use it. The task of responsibility and seeing the use and misuse of it is very obvious as both the man and the boy and Victor Frankenstein with his creature wrestle to either use or run from their responsibilities.

When you fail to accept personal responsibility for your actions there are a series of events that follow over time. The consequences do not necessarily promote goal achievement and success in life. The signals you send to the subconscious can come back to sabotage your progress. One of the negative consequences that follow is an exaggerated sense of self that makes it difficult to get along with others. You then run the risk of becoming involved in conflicting situations and becoming more critical
A Separate Peace: Responsibility A responsibility is something for which one is held accountable. Often people say that one is responsible for one’s own words and actions; if something happens as a result of something one does one is responsible for it. But is it possible that something could be the result of various actions from different people who are therefore equally responsible, or is there always one person who is most responsible for the incident at hand? Such a situation where this question
Personal responsibility may be perceived in many ways, but it is imperative to understand the relevance of why it must begin with our self. First, one will never develop an attitude of responsibility if they always look for others to complete their task. It is a necessity that one has personal discipline or their efforts to be responsible will prove to be fruitless. Second, being responsible yields great rewards and acting responsible is a clear sign of maturity. A responsible individual looks

Taryn Jones My Responsibility to America Theodore Roosevelt, America’s 26th president, once said, "The first requisite of a good citizen in this Republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight." In order to fulfill Roosevelt's proposition I strongly believe that each individual has obligations that they must meet which is equivalent to Roosevelt’s expression,“willing to pull his weight.” My responsibility to America is to a be a good citizen by being adequately informed of
Responsibility is a universal concept with many different definitions but fundamentally the same meaning. When a person is responsible, they are in charge of the decisions they make, and therefore they are essentially the outcome. To be responsible means to take accountability for one’s actions as well as their attitudes. As John C. Maxwell once said “The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up” (Maxwell). Being responsible
