Responsibility is Multi-Faceted
Responsibility encompasses various dimensions, including character traits, moral obligations, and legal accountability. In discussing responsibility, distinctions arise between being a responsible person, holding a moral duty in a specific role, and being accountable for outcomes.

Nicole Vincent's structured taxonomy of responsibility also reflects this complexity, underscoring the nuanced nature of responsibility.
