Differing Levels of Accountability and Responsibility For Individual Professions
Number of pages:
8
ABSTRACT:
An 8 page discussion of the observation that liability one faces for their actions often varies according to the particulars of the situation. Society holds some individuals and professions to higher standards of legal accountability and responsibility than we do other individuals and professions. This variance is justified by the potential impact an action can have. When a reporter makes a mistake in a magazine article, for example, you can run a correction but when a health care worker makes a mistake someone’s life might hang in the balance. Differing levels of accountability are thus justified by the particulars of a situation. The author provides additional examples of corporate responsibility to illustrate the differences in compliance-based verses value-based approach to accountability. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
