Mauro suggests that a sense of personal responsibility does not operate or evolve universally among humankind. He argues that it was absent in the successful civilization of the Iroquois.

This strikes me as a dangerous excursion into undue influence (this appears to be the only mention of Mauro in the article (who should be named in full).

When I googled "Iroquois personal responsibility" I found some prominent articles (in English) about ethical conundrums existing between Iroquois and European culture, but this particular result was hardly prominent.

As the claim above verges on the controversy level of Daniel Everett's claim that the Pirahã language contains no grammatical recursion, if remotely true it deserves a far more substantial account than this short, drive-by statement. — MaxEnt 12:00, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I don't do this very often.

"Personal Responsibility" redirects to "Moral Responsibility."

There is a conservative version of "personal responsibility" floating around in the USA these days. It is the idea that a person should take full responsibility for caring for himself, not expecting others to take care of him, and not blaming them if they don't. It can expand to explicitly having no responsibility for others, all the way to "every man for himself." I think it's related to neoliberalism and libertarianism. It is the opposite of "social responsibility", and doesn't seem consonant with "moral responsibility" as described in this Wikipedia article.

Should there be an article for this? Where should it go?

I haven't found good sources for this yet... I started here.

(later) The History page for Personal Responsibility shows that in 2010, somebody entered this definition: "a conscious choice of taking charge of one's life through responsible decisions, actions and disavowing oneself from the crutch of victimization" I would not put it that way, but that is similar to how some folks think about it.
