Responsibility and its Avoidance

In exploring the challenges of governance and social responsibility, Donald Curtis emphasizes the struggle to create a livable society amidst institutional failures. Drawing from his experience as a project manager and his global perspective, he examines how attempts to establish accountability often lead to avoidance behaviors. Curtis argues that while frameworks for responsibility are necessary, they can trigger perverse incentives that undermine collective efforts. His thesis asserts that true responsibility must be shared to combat corruption and decay in society.
