The Bill of Responsibilities
Responsibility.com is dedicated to acknowledging and promoting the practice of personal responsibility. It is the belief of those involved in this site that personal responsibility is a healthy and critical component of virtually all relationships, whether they be on a micro or macro level.
“I have noticed in both personal and business relationships that when people dealing with challenging situations talk about their own personal responsibility, they generally move toward solutions,” says Stephen Smoke, author of the Bill of Responsibilities series. “If people are pointing fingers and are unfamiliar with the power of the personal responsibility, you might as well bring your lunch: You’re not even close to solving your differences. One problem is that people confuse taking responsibility for taking blame. They cannot see the power that taking personal responsibility can bring to their lives. It’s really pretty simple. If you don’t want to take responsibility for your life, others will and, in the end, you probably won’t like what they decide to do with it.”
We will post interviews with people we believe demonstrate the power of personal responsibility. We’ll also post news that demonstrates the principles of personal responsibility and we provide “community” options in the form of blogs and occasional online question and answer sessions with authors and educators who wish to share their experiences and insight about personal responsibility.

The Bill of Responsibilities Series is a series of books based on one simple idea: where you have rights, you have responsibilities.
Most of the books are written using a combination of the Socratic Method and Guided Discussion techniques. The reason for this is so that each person can use his own words and experiences to come to his own conclusions and have his own realizations about personal responsibility and how it relates to his life.
Currently there are 4 books, plus one course available in the Bill of Responsibility series: The Bill of Rights and Responsibilities, The Bill of Responsibilities, and Teen Bill of Responsibilities, and the Corporate Bill of Responsibilities. The first two books are general books, the second written shortly after 9/11.
The Teen Bill of Responsibilities is a book geared toward teens. It is often given as a gift by a parent or grandparent and used as a “conversation starter” for thought-provoking family conversations. Sometimes it is given as a gift without comment, allowing the teenager to proceed–or not–at his or her own pace.
