Responsibility


            Yes, mankind does have a responsibility for members of society. The men and women of today are obligated to a certain extent to look out for our fellow man. A direct relation or even the knowledge that another person exists is not necessary to look out for fellow man. For instance, if a small child walked out into a busy street almost anyone would risk his or her life to stop the child from being harmed. Even without knowing the small child any on looker would feel responsible for saving the child's life. However, being responsible for fellow man has its limits. Children who are raised in friendly loving environments that grow up to be criminals are not the responsibility of society. Society can only bring individuals down a straight path to a certain extent. When the path forks which path is taken is up to the individual and in those situations the only one that is responsible is that individual. .
             In the book Frankenstein the monster's actions are a direct effect of how far Victor leads the monster down the path. Since Victor barely puts the monster on the path before he abandons him the monster has no experience living in society and does not have the knowledge or life experience to deal with the most simplistic situations that occur in everyday life. Victor should have been responsible for the monster from the very beginning. .
             In society their will always be people who take advantage of the men and women who look out for them. But, there will also always be the men and women who rely on their conscious to help distinguish the difference between right and wrong and those individuals are the same individuals that tend to sleep well at night. .
