A duty or obligation to satisfactorily perform or complete a task assigned by someone. ( Business,Dictionary)

Means you do the things you are expected to do and accept the consequences (results) of your actions. (anonymous)

Responsibility means feeling it’s your duty to deal with what comes up, being accountable, and/or being able to act independently and make decisions without authorization. (Source: Elizabeth Wagele)

MORAL RESPONSIBILITY

• Moral duties are done according to our moral concept of right and wrong. (Eg. To show proper respect to parents, teachers etc. )

• Moral responsiblity is the responsibility that comes with wisdom. Those without wisdom do not have it, and can not understand it.

If you know something about someone close to you, but the knowledge was given to you in utter confidence by someone who's trust was of utmost importance, is it your moral responsibility to divulge that information to that someone close to you, and

1) if you did, that someone close to you would be devastated by the truth

2) If you did, that someone would nevertheless be grateful, but you would lose the trust of the other person who expected you to keep that information confidential
