Abstract
Social responsibility differentiated towards various responsibility objects, depending on human activity sphere and social level is examined. The author concentrates on human responsibility, which is called societal responsibility, for the state of things in a country. The purpose of the article is to determine the influence of human societal responsibility level on responsibility in various spheres of the activity. Through analyzing the empiric research data the links between individual responsibility levels were found, the zones of relative autonomy were distinguished where societal responsibility is minimal and rather high.The author raises the problem of irresponsibility syndrome of internal determination: what is basic in constructing of responsibility/ irresponsibility - social escapism or isolationism, when a person doesn't consider to be responsible for a society important, general personality set connected with the values orientation or feeling of social vacuum around, when a person doesn't feel his mutual responsibility and believes that he is surrounded by mostly irresponsible people. Mentioned problems are studied on the material of empiric research, made in Zaporozhye in 2013 (the selection is representative - 700 people were questioned). The answers on the questions about private responsibility and evaluation of others responsibility definitely proves that a man perceiving and defining his milieu as mostly irresponsible, i.e. deprived of sociality individualists rejects himself to be responsible for a society. Individualized society or a society of individuals suggests that a person who considers himself an independent personality perceives others also as individual personalities who don't care about the society and state destiny. Therefore the person doesn't take the responsibility for the order in the country. Further analysis shows that irresponsibility syndrome mostly touches upon societal level. The sphere of close social surrounding, close social environment and direct activity, set on moral isolationism is less strong.Societal irresponsibility is connected with irresponsibility to close social surrounding, but this second level of irresponsibility is revealed less distinctly. The syndrome of social irresponsibility implies that people who don't consider themselves to have the right to take responsibility for the state of things in the country at the same time possess low indicators of subjective responsibility referring to other aspects of sociality and their existence world.Considering responsibility/ irresponsibility in social discourse allows to find out unveiling additional aspects of human and society feature. The data of empiric research proved that the levels of responsibility are interconnected.
