Sense of Responsibility & Accountability If one doesn’t have sense of responsibility & accountability one can hardly bring harmony either in social or in personal relationship. We are not absolved from accountability towards our surrounding which assign us responsibility we must keep in mind the fact that our sulky and indifferent actions have enough potential to create chaos and helter-skelter kind of atmosphere where we live.
