moral accountability

Moral accountability is the concept that individuals are responsible for their actions and the choices they make, especially when those actions affect others. It means people are expected to act ethically and can be judged or held responsible if they do something wrong, intentionally or through negligence. This accountability encourages fairness, honesty, and integrity in social and personal relationships. It also involves trust, as we rely on others to be responsible for their behavior. Ultimately, moral accountability helps maintain social order and promotes ethical conduct by recognizing who should be answerable for their actions.
