Responsibility
Responsibility means not only a duty or an obligation to do something but also a duty or an obligation not to do something. A sense of responsibility along with wisdom, knowledge and moral education makes one an ideal person in society. A responsible person is always conscious of his duties and he always sticks to the right path. He is sympathetic, co-operative and creative. He helps the helpless, abides by the rules of society or country. Again, being a responsible person he tries his best to prevent the evil-culture in society. He hates these wholeheartedly. A responsible student always studies attentively, obeys his/her superiors. A responsible person having gained knowledge, skills and attitude uses them practically for the betterment of society. The Government also has many responsibilities to the citizens. It provides the citizens with the basic necessities of life including food, clothing, shelter, education and medical care. It has also the responsibility to protect the fundamental rights of its citizens to freedom of speech and expression, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, equality of all before law etc. thus responsibility certainly leads to peace and prosperity of a family, a society or a country. But irresponsibility is undoubtedly a curse which is sure to destroy peace, prosperity or even a civilization. For example, if a government is irresponsible, the nation will lag behind day by day. If a family men is callous to maintain his family, the family will not develop. Even the family, members may be degraded. They can involve themselves in immoral and illegal activities. So, we all should be responsible in our respective fields.
