Personal responsibility is a hallmark of maturity. In college, we cease to blame other people such as our parents for our problems. We also have to learn how to manage our time wisely, and be disciplined. Our parents are no longer there to tell us when to study or what time to get up for soccer practice. The benefits of personal responsibility include the fact that we become more capable of learning from our mistakes and growing accordingly. We also learn how to accept praise and criticism equally, as we are responsible for both our own mistakes and our own successes.
"Being responsible is a learned behavior. It is not an accident and it requires patience and effort," ("Personal esponsibility," n.d., p. 1). Therefore, it will not necessarily be easy to become responsible for ourselves and accountable for our own behaviors. This is partly because many college students were raised in….

Personal esponsibility
Introduction-What is Personal esponsibility?

Personal responsibility, by definition, is all about how an individual takes up accountability for his/her actions and accepts the burdens and consequences that come along with them and agrees the fact that his/her actions leave an impact on everyone around him/her. Personal responsibility does not only help an individual learn to be perceptive of his/her responsibilities and but also focuses on his/her ability to deal with these responsibilities systematically and acceptably. In short, personal responsibility is when an individual analyzes the societal standards set around them, the importance of those standards set and the strenuous efforts an individual puts in to live up to the standards set. If, however, an individual fails to achieve the standards and meet/exceed the expectations put forth, personal responsibility would be taking blame on oneself and accepting one's mistakes rather than blaming outside conditions, circumstances, people or society. Three most important….

As a membe of the college community, my plan fo pesonal esponsibility is to always comply with fomal ules and codes of conduct and be sensitive to the ights and welfae of othes and to act in ways that espect those ights even when it might be moe convenient fo me not to.

Cicumstances calling fo pesonal esponsibility aise in many diffeent contexts, including in elation to ou obligations as students.

Another way of looking at it is that whenever there is not enough time to do everything one plans in college, the first casualty is academic responsibility. Typically, the first year of college is also the first experience that incoming students have ever been completely self-responsible (Lucier, 2008). Very often, with no parents or authority figures to answer to, college freshmen develop irresponsible habits. Magical thinking takes over and the student "plans" to write a paper in two-week, then one week, then four day, then in two days, and then ends up staying awake all night before it is due and requesting an extension that day. My plan is to be responsible with respect to prioritizing my commitments appropriately, managing my time realistically and effectively, and maintaining a general overall sense of purposefulness to help me in both of those respects.

The typical college student spends the first four years….

The revelation that I needed to take more responsibility for my actions did not come all at once, but in fits and starts. I remember distinctly one day when I was tired from having begun my homework far too late the night before. I lay my head down on my desk and after a few moments was conscious of the teacher looking down at me. Much to my surprise, he did not look angry, just disappointed. "If only you would make an effort," he said, and walked away. I realized that what he said was true: I was not making the effort. I would say that I was trying hard, as I ran my laps in gym class, or opened up a book to study, but I really was not fully present in the moment -- I was always doing things in a half-hearted way and looking for an excuse….

owning, S. (2011). On Course: Strategies for Creating Success in College and Life. Boston, MA: Wadsworth Publishing.

esigned specifically for college age students, this is a self-help book that actually has relevant suggestions for modern issues. The book is in its 6th printing, and interestingly is often used in student success courses in formal curriculums. The focus of the book is on choices: successful people make certain choices that tend to put them on a path towards success. The gist of the focus, though, is on the identification of behaviors and beliefs that may need to be changed in order to allow for more success. In other words, the book is all about preventing "self-sabotage," thought the use of tools designed specifically to help younger people. The credibility comes from examples of real people, the interest level in the short psychological tests offered to help uncover behavioral patterns, and….

Personal responsibility is an obligation to oneself. Obviously you can't control every aspect of life, however you can absolutely control the decisions that you make. To do this takes a lot of thought and self-discipline. You have to make an effort to first compile all of the options available. Not everyone makes this effort. Rather they simply choose take the easiest option without really considering what else could be done. This type of behavior represents more of a reactive approach to life's events; simply taking the easy way out.
Taking personal responsibility is a proactive approach to dealing the things that life throws at you. It all begins with setting challenging goals; things you want to accomplish in your lifetime. Then the next step is to set the parameters or the rules by which you will live by. There are various approaches to this including personal moral systems or personal ethical….

In the context of responsibility to ourselves, personal responsibility means, in large part, establishing logical goals, identifying what commitments are necessary to achieve those goals, and then maintaining our commitment to those goals thereafter.
You cannot control everything that happens in your life. Events are not always the result of personal choices you have made. Nonetheless, you do have control of how you react to situations and events. You have response -- ability.

This entails the realization that everything you do has consequences. Show good judgment and exercise emotional control. When bad thing happen stop trying to fix blame and try to fix things. The situation already exists, try to forgive and forget and get past the moment. Also, you must forgive yourself for the mistakes that are your fault, make the necessary apologies and move on. Dwelling on mistakes only makes them more important than they should be. Do not….

personal responsibility and accomplishing college success. Even though not everyone seeks to get college education, personal responsibility and education go together. A person must develop good morals, rules, and good time management to achieve personal goals that lead to a successful life. In addition, self-discipline, respect of oneself and others, loyalty and compassion seem to be central elements that help to foster personal and social responsibility on college campuses. The paper seeks to introduce all these elements and by doing so try to develop a preliminary plan to practice personal responsibility in my college education.
Taking personal responsibility is essential for all development and learning but it counts especially in college. There are three reasons for it: First, research has shown that college results are to a very high degree tied to the efforts that students put into their studies in particular and campus life in general. Second, irresponsible students….

Personal esponsibility and Academic Success
There are many determinants of academic success. Indeed, a review of literature indicates that those who excel in academics have certain traits that their colleagues lack. One such trait is personal responsibility. In basic terms, personal responsibility has got to do with being accountable for one's actions. This text seeks to highlight the direct relationship that exists between personal responsibility and academic success.

The Correlation Between Personal esponsibility and Academic Success

Through a research brief, Wisconsin Education Association Council (2012) notes that "there is an extensive body of research showing that students who assume responsibility for their own learning are more motivated, more self-reliant and more effective learners." In a way, students possessing a greater level of personal responsibility tend to assume responsibility for their own learning. Further, being personally responsible for ones own learning allows for the development of key competencies which go a long way….

logic behind the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act "and a U.S. House resolution in 2004 dealing with strengthening the original law's emphasis on promoting marriage "was based upon the idea that by "encouraging marriage the marriage rate will increase and the poverty rates will go down and the individuals on welfare will decrease...The original Welfare Reform Act linked the decline in two-parent households to an increase in poverty levels" (Kickham & Ford 2009). However, the question arises as to whether such a bill treats the root causes of poverty. Single parent households may be more common in underprivileged environments, but that may be more due to a lack of hope amongst all residents rather than a unique feature of single parent households. Children being born to unwed mothers may be more of a symptom than a cause.
The idea that government should 'engineer' the life of the poor,….

Mob Mentality, The ave, And Personal Responsibility
Dennis Gansel's 2008 film The ave is a dramatization of actual events that took place at Cubberley High School in Polo Alto, California, in the spring of 1967 (Johnston). The film explores the question of how the events surrounding the Holocaust, the mass extermination of 10 million Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, and the mentally and physically infirm, was allowed to take place by the German people during the Second orld ar. The center of the inquiry is a high school history class where the teacher establishes a culture based on discipline, community and action. He calls the movement "the wave" and sets in motion a series of events highly reminiscent of Nazi Germany during the 1930s and early 1940s. hile the film offers a reason for the Holocaust, an explanation of how this tragedy was allowed to happen, it is my belief this is not….

Educating Students
What gives me hope for the future as an educator committed to helping students grow, develop and achieve in all areas of the whole child is the knowledge that I have a deep interest and love for the idea of developing the whole child, which is founded on my own philosophical basis on what I have learned over the years -- namely, the classics and ideas of classical philosophy. In short, the ideas of and access that I have to the works of Aristotle give me confidence and hope in the knowledge that I can share these great character formation gifts to the next generation; in other words, I am not lacking a direction in this respect because the research shows that these ideas still have legs (Kristjansson, 2014). My hope is thus based on what I know and understand about the relationship between education and character -- which….

regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be in fringed. (Amendment II to the Constitution of the United States)
The preceding sentence has inspired a great deal of controversy over the years. Gun control is a heated topic in both American politics and in civil discourse throughout the nation. The issue has had a profound effect on lobbyists and on the general public. Issues revolving around gun control and the constitutionality of both new and old laws constantly see media attention. Every time there is a school shooting or a justifiable homicide, large numbers of advocates for gun control and opponents against the issue arise. Indeed, the politics of gun control and the rights of gun ownership inspire heated and emotional debates throughout the nation.

The concept of gun control is ultimately flawed. The vast….
