Freedom and responsibility are interconnected. True freedom requires responsibility - the ability to make choices without considering their impact on others is not really freedom.

It poses several critical questions about balancing freedom and responsibility, such as when limiting freedom can be beneficial and what sacrifices may be required to maintain freedom.

Editor's Notes
- First of all, responsibility is a big word; its action is greater than its meaning. So, a person responsible for something means that holding others fortune or future in his/her hand. So conscience is the biggest part of the word responsibility.
- Personal responsibilities like studying (which means we are responsible for our future). # Family: we are responsible for our families and their future. We have to take it seriously and brighten the future of our children. # Society: to be a good part of society means to be responsible for the development and improvement of our society. # Environment: to take care of even a meter of our land and environment makes us good responsible persons.
- When a part of certain thing is destroyed, we have to know that is like an infection, which means that our turn will come after that.
- First step is admitting, whenever you did something wrong stop making excuses, you have to accept that what you have done is wrong. For example, if you fail in the exam don’t say that happened because the teacher hates me. But because you did not study enough.
- Understanding: we have to think about the wrong actions we have done and should take lessons from them. Understanding prevents us from doing the same wrong action and makes us to act with more responsibility.
- Apologizing: apologizing is one of the features of responsibility, when we did something wrong, and we admitted our fault an apology is required. So we have to apologize and feel regret for our faults
- Promising: Promising and doing what we have promised show that whether we are responsible or not. So when we promise to someone we must fulfil our promise. We should be careful when we promise and we should not try to fix all the problems in the world.
- Caring for others: Caring for others make us to act more responsible, because when you care for someone you will work harder and perform better to make them happy. So automatically you will act with more responsibility.
