Introduction A proper definition of "personal responsibility" can be that provided by Rob Haskins that points out "Personal responsibility is the willingness to both accept the importance of standards that society establishes for individual behavior and to make strenuous personal efforts to live by those standards. But personal responsibility also means that when individuals fail to meet expected standards, they do not look around for some factor outside themselves to blame". (2009) However, given the fact that the term implies a great degree of subjectivity, for me the issue of personal responsibility is multi faceted and implies knowing oneself to such an extend as to both accept certain conditions imposed by the environment such as social rules and at the same time to accept and face failure as their own and not as a means of sharing the failure with outside factors. What personal responsibility means to me One of the most important aspects in defining personal responsibility is an increased control of the self. In this sense, it is crucial that one explores his/hers personality in order to be well aware of the qualities and shortcomings.

It also provides that an agent can be properly held accountable for his choices. Thus, the theme of choice is central to responsibility. An agent who cannot choose cannot be regarded as an autonomous agent.
“Your Responsibility theme forces you to take psychological ownership for anything you commit to, and whether large or small, you feel emotionally bound to follow it through to completion”(Gallup, 2012). This goes without saying. I take personal responsibility for all of my endeavors. It is also my responsibility to fight for what I believe in, as others may not be able to do so for themselves.
Taking place in two hemispheres from one another, the plot to Khaled Hosseini 's Kite Runner and Phillip Roth 's Nemesis have few common elements to observe if one were to look strictly at the plot. However, looking deeper reveals that both novels have startlingly similar elements and themes; ranging from fear, to a rejection of god.

Second, I gained knowledge about personal responsibility as an assistant caregiver to my grandmother. My grandmother suffered from diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, bronchitis, cardiovascular problems, and a slight case of dementia that required persistent care.
