Being an
adult means becoming a self-advocate. This involves taking responsibility for
your own actions and understanding how they affect the rest of the world. It
also mean understanding how your surrounding affect you. If you are a
self-advocate, then you know how to make choices based on your preferences,
beliefs and abilities-choices that allow you to succeed in the world. To become
a self-advocate, you need maturity and experience-and certain knowledge and
skills-but there is more to it than that. You need perspective as well.

The
individual social responsibility includes the engagement of each person towards
the community where he lives, which can be expressed as an interest towards
what is happening in the community, as well as in the active participation in
the solving of some of the local problems. Under community we understand the
village, the small town or the residential complex in a big city where lives
every one of us. Each community lives its own life that undergoes a process of
development all the time.

Social
responsibility can be negative in that it is a responsibility to refrain from
acting (resistance stance) or it can be positive meaning there is a
responsibility to act (proactive stance), but to actually make it a lifestyle.
Only through a commitment to embrace and embed social responsibility into your
personal value and belief system can you truly become socially responsible in
all you do.
