Guilt and Responsibility Feb. 2013 | Page 6

What is the role of guilt and conscience in responsibility?

Do people have a moral compass that guides them to do the right thing or do they do the right thing because they will feel guilty otherwise?

Do you think that people are taught to do the right thing or are they born with knowledge of what is right or wrong?

How can guilt be helpful or harmful?

"To sit alone with my conscience will be judgement enough for me."

-Charles William Stubbs, British historian(1860-1946)
