Vocabulary & Life Tips: BE RESPONSIBLE! DON’T BLAME ME! WHOSE FAULT IS IT?
I hate to tell you this, but we each have the responsibility to take care of ourselves. That’s right, my friend. As a responsible adult, you have a duty to pay your bills, to be on time, and to be a good person. In this lesson, we are going to talk about the wordsresponsibility, blame, and fault. I will teach you their meanings and how they differ from — and relate to — each other. Each of these words is a facet of a problem. When you encounter a problem in your life, are you able to identify who is to blame? Is it always someone else’s fault? Or are you humble enough to take responsibility? Learn the difference by watching the lesson. If you don’t do the quiz after watching, don’t blame me for your lack of practice!

If I don’t have enough patience, it is my fault. I can’t blame others for it. I am responsible for all of my acts.

Dear Mr James, I noticed you did a mistake in writing the responsability definition on the board. It’s a “part” of a job and not a “past” of a job. But don’t worry, I don’t have the authority to condemn you for the error. You are absolved and I thank you to be such a glorious teacher able to create amazing lessons from everything. I really appreciate
Our responsibility as English students is to thank you for this lesson. Otherwise, it would be our fault not to do it.
Thanks a lot James!!

Hi :) can someone explain to me why in question “To be “responsible” means to be” have to be “an authority” instead of “accountable”? Both of them fit in my opinion and I have been confused.
In my mind responsible and accountable mean exactly the same. Authority is the legal right to give the command, order or instruction.
Responsibility is the outcome of authority.
Please don’t blame me if I am wrong.
Thank you James. Great lesson like always. Don’t blame anybody for own faults. Take responsibility for your live and start improve English. This is extra, what I took from this lesson.
Thanks. Ms.James. I think improving my English ability is your responsibility. So if I can’t speak like a native speaker, I blame you. No, No, sorry . This is my fault, I always blame someone.
Even though I have a responsibility to take care of my family, It’s my fault not to be a good son. So, don’t blame me for everything.
