25 Examples of Irresponsibility

Irresponsibility

Irresponsibility is the conduct by which a person does not comply with or respect what is part of their responsibilities or obligations. An act of irresponsibility is carried out without the person taking into account or foreseeing the consequences that this has for himself or for others. For example: driving a car under the influence of alcohol; failing to complete assignments assigned by a teacher.

It is a type of behavior considered a antivalue and it is the opposite of responsibility, which is the fulfillment of obligations and duties.

Irresponsibility not only affects personal life, but many irresponsible acts have family and social consequences. The consequences of irresponsibility may vary depending on the seriousness and importance of the unfulfilled duty. For example: If the child does not do his part of the group practical work, her classmates are likely to get angry. If the man does not meet the payment deadlines, the house is likely to be repossessed.
