Who should define what is “responsible”(or “good”)is?
I advocate the idea that an external party outside of the organization should define responsibility.Only in this way can responsibility be defined and measured in the most impartial manner.Responsibility defined by a man himself or by the collective tends to be biased and often centered upon his/their private motives.A man or a collective defined responsibility based on his/their own values and principles and hence failed to take into account what the society expected of him/them.In other words, a man or a collective often consider only his/their own interest when attempting to define responsibility on his/their own and this frequently lead to undesirable impacts on the society.For example, in the past when many countries were under the monarchy rule, responsibility was defined solely by the ruler himself.He was free to use his powers to control the nation’s wealth and the life and death of his subjects.And throughout history, we saw many incompetent and irresponsible rulers, such as the last emperor of Tang dynasty in china, who used his power on womanizing and maintaining his luxury life instead of taking care of his people, leading to the fall of Tang dynasty.On the other hand, when responsibility is defined by an external party, it ensures the reliable interpretation and use of power.Detached from the collective physically and emotionally, a third party is more likely to define responsibility fairly and stringently, matching moral values and ethics uphold by the society.A guideline measured against expectation of society is usually present to ensure responsible use of power.An illustrative example to explain this point will be the recent corruption scandal of former Taiwanese president Chen Shui Bian.Based on his own moral standard, he may not feel guilty for his actions since he is merely acting on his basic instinct to keep what he deserved.Under social standard, however, the Taiwanese interpreted his action as corruption of national wealth and is morally wrong and unacceptable.Because he has illegally manipulated wealth belonging to the society, Chen has failed to use his powers responsibility.Hence, the presence of an external party will ensure and guide the responsible use of power and therefore responsibility should be defined by and subjected to the scrutiny of an external third party.
