Responsibility and society

Responsibility means being aware of the consequences and importance of one's behaviour for the development of a sustainable society and wanting to actively contribute to the common good. On an individual level, it requires an awareness of and reflection on one's own responsible behaviour as well as the perception of a social motive based on which other people are helped and a culture of giving is created. This requires a strong capacity for self-regulation, self-control, and empathy, which enables socio-emotional behaviour based on high moral and ethical standards.
