Responsibility Of Others In The Lather, By David Barber

817 Words4 Pages

ways in which individuals take responsibility for themselves or others?

Responsibility is something taught using life lessons and jobs. Some people have noticeably better responsibility than others and it shows in many ways. A person's attitude and ability to overcome adversity could be an example of how much responsibility one has in their own life. In the poem “ The Lather” written by David Barber, responsibility for others is shown through the company “20 Mule Team” and the mining group providing homes around America with Borax to help clean all their needs.

They rely on me day in and day out no matter what. Many jobs in the world can be weather dependent and can differ whether someone goes to work or not that day. But for a farmer weather does not matter. From -40 to +40 it doesn’t matter the animals need to be cared for and need to be fed.

The animals are dependent on us for almost everything in their lives except for breathing. Feed, water, and shelter all come from the farmer and no matter what the conditions are, they need to be provided every single day. I have some responsibilities for myself involved in the responsibilities for animals and that is to keep myself safe. Working with animals can be very unpredictable especially when it comes to cows. Mother cows can mean the meanest and most unpredictable around their calves. Having respect for them and their space is what keeps me safe from anything that may come my way. Aside from the responsibility for the animals I have the responsibility of making sure others are safe as well. From working with the animals to operating machinery to take care of the animals. There is so much that could go wrong when doing either activity and most

  • Michelle Alexander The New Jim Crow Analysis

    639 Words  | 3 Pages

    The politics of responsibility hold each person responsible for his or her actions and choices; and therefore they have to accept the results of their actions. It means that people have duties and responsibilities towards themselves and others, and that they have to make the right choices and do the right actions in order to have a better life. However, Michelle Alexander disagrees with this strategy in her critique “The New Jim Crow,” arguing that the strategy of responsibility would fail to address the issue of mass incarceration. She argues that the politics of responsibility is insufficient because it cannot just blame people on their own actions and choices without considering their circumstances and the society they are living in, which could sometimes force them to behave in a certain way. She insists that
