Talk:Collective responsibility

Untitled

Can someone comment on whether this is applicable to the concept of 'the commons', and how it is from a political and sociological perspective.

Libertarian section

Do we really need that section on how libertarians view the subject? Why do only libertarians have a section on it? And it's largely uncited. I think it should be removed. watermark0n (talk) 22:44, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Collective responsibility in international relations

Collective responsibility is often associated with multilateralism in foreign policy, as for example in this recent speech by Kofi Annan. This article would benefit from some discussion of the application of the concept of collective responsibility to the acts of nations. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 23:18, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

responsibility versus guilt

The text sofar is a horrible mixture of the ideas of responsibility, guilt and punishment. Responsibility is an ethical term, whereas guilt is a legalistic concept. One can be responsible for some action, and not guilty. Think of a five year old child setting a house on fire: the child is guilty, and the parents are responsible. Also such actions by a mentally disabled person show this clearly. Punishment is even one step further: the guilty need not always be punished and the punished are now always guilty.

The text in the wikipedia should be scrapped. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.83.4.26 (talk) 21:14, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Erased confusing sentence

Not clear what this is actually trying to say: "This proved the old libel that non-jews, romans, were responsible for his death was incorrectly blamed on non-jews". Sounds like it's trying to justify persecution and, either way, is written terribly. 192.197.178.2 (talk) 19:55, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Disputed

The premise or limitation in the lead "Collective responsibility also known as collective guilt is a concept in which individuals are responsible for other people's actions by tolerating, ignoring, or harboring them, without actively collaborating in these actions." seems far too limited. "Collective responsibility" is directed at more than just those who tolerate, ignore, or harbor wrong-doers, but also tends to be used against families, organizations, members of certain national, religious, political, ethnic, or other groups for acts done either by a member of such a group or by someone seeming to further an interest of such group. See the German-language Wiki article for a much expanded concept closer to how this term is used in the real world. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:06, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

This article needs to be moved to collective guilt, which is the more common name

I cannot move it because I am not an admin. Infinitepeace (talk) 13:22, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Scope

This article is currently a weird hodgepodge of disparate topics but see the Wikidata entry for links to encyclopedias with dedicated articles[1] on the combined concept. (not watching, please {{ping}}) czar 01:56, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
