The Responsiblity Project

August 25, 2008 by  
Filed under family topics

What’s your idea of a responsible parent? A responsible employee? A responsible friend? Well, that’s what The Responsibility Project wants to know.

From the site: “We believe that the more people think and talk about responsibility, and even debate what it means, the more it can affect how we live our daily lives. And perhaps, in this small way, together, we can make the world just a little better.”

It all started with a little commercial by Liberty Mutual that grew into an overnight sensation. You know, the one where total strangers did nice things for each other and a good deed got passed on and on. What it did was make the public aware of how doing the right thing could change the world a little at a time.

The Responsibility Project site showcases short videos where every day people like you and me – kids and adults – made the choice to do the right thing. You’ll find these stories to be touching, educational, and truly inspiring. This site also helps parents share the idea of personal responsibility with their children through videos, discussion guides, and blog posts.

So what’s your responsibility policy?
