The Core of Personal Responsibility

The Core of Personal Responsibility
I view Personal responsibility as empowerment that holds the subject liable. “Personal responsibility means that the individual assume ownership for their thoughts and actions” (Brockett and Hiemstra 1991). Some fear personal responsibility and they chose run from it. Considering responsibility starts from the toddler stage and through too adult hood. Handling some responsibility should be natural not feared. Since my childhood, my parents prepared us to be dependent. I have lived by those teaching all my life and I am passing it on to my family about responsibility through cleaning up there space to doing their homework. I believe the core of personal responsibility are three things; Integrity, passion for the job and courage. I lived by these values I have had great success in understanding my personal responsibility. I truly believe that having these three core values will prepare an individual. Society sees personal responsibility as an important standard. Each of us deals with responsibility through life. Personal responsibility is apart everyone. Therefore, I believe if you focus on those three items mentioned. I think responsibility can be fully embrace not feared. Those core values helped me when I was a leader while on active duty. I knew that responsibility and accountably rested on me. I accepted any task without fear. To take on the position as a leader I had the courage to delegate, integrity to do the right thing, and I was always passionate about the task to see it through. To me having those ingredients is key to helping you properly full-fill your personal responsibility roles. When I delegated, I ensured everyone had a stake in personal responsibility; from being able to make a decision, taking acceptable risk and be willing to stand by those risks. In addition respecting the opinions of others, also being a good communicator are good examples of personal responsibility. “The working through of corporate responsibility also includes taking account of personal, and civic and professional views of responsibility” (Robinson 2009). If you are not ready to be passionate or have the integrity or the courage to handle personal responsibility you may lose some essential things; respect, trust, and your credibility may be in question.

Personal Responsibility in School
College requires a lot of energy; I believe much attention should be devoted to your studying habits—controlling the study environment can help improve studying habits. Integrity and courage is needed while working hard to reach a goal attending college. Working overtime studying, doing the research, taking extra classes to be proficient is that passion you need to stay focus. This type of core responsibility displays the right type of attitude towards personal responsibility. These steps will help my long-range plans. It is important for me to learn how to stay focus. Reading more is at the top of my personal responsibilities. Reading will help introduce more words in my vocabulary and it will help me with my writing. My study habits will continue to improve over time as grow within the college. Another focus is class participation. I am little week in this area, but it will also continue to improve during my stay in college. In addition, I will make sure that turning my assignments in on time will be goal and most important to me is being a team player and respecting my classmates views and opinions.

In conclusion, personal responsibility affects everyone; having integrity, the courage and be passionate is required when comes the position, the work environment, and school. In my opinion, if you focus on those core ingredients I believe you can face your personal responsibilities’ with no problems.
