you WILL take responsibility for what happens to you

Ancient writers were long aware of the constant spiritual struggle going on to define words since it is mentioned in the Bible. It is also particularly prevalent in recent years as seen within the persistent political struggle going on between groups and the individual. 
Responsibility
My definition of the term, responsibility, may differ from various others. Responsibility means that whatever happens to you, we each are responsible to ourselves for it. There is no indication of blame in this word but today there is surely an strong expectation of its presence. This is the successful attempt to shed blame to someone other than the one who suffers the consequent event.

 I originally called my view my baby in the well theory. My point was that although the baby may not be to blame for accidentally falling into the well, if the baby is in the well then it is the baby that suffers the consequence and so that it is the baby alone that must respond to that event, most likely by drowning.

Although someone may be to blame for this event, or the jurisdiction over it, blame is not individual responsibility. Just as intent is not conviction or innocence, but rather only relates solely to the penalty, it is changing the meaning of words going on in academia that reflects a strong contraction of words rather than a healthy multiplication of meanings which would be present in the language of a healthy culture.

The clear desire to use fewer words for many different things, vague neautral words as well, is the opposite of a living language that expands, growing, rather than contracting, words and meanings. This is done by proponents for the purpose of reducing everything to the same thing. So growth is contained, today by one view such as  globalism, in order to control people by making them all similar. The existence as well as the rights of individuals are not welcome in this arena of knowledge destruction.

There are many words suffering in this overall struggle. For instance, where popular vote is more desired than the electoral vote. The electoral vote is evidence of a republic, not a democracy. The electoral vote is designed, as is the constitution itself, to protect individuals in small groups from individuals acting in large groups, Otherwise farmers would be the slaves of city dwellers, and the society would soon reduce itself to rubble. Therefore, the electoral vote protects what is called by the group desiring control groups like the snubbed as flyover country.

Immigration also has a definition, which is primarily to keep one particular ethnic group from gaining control over other ethnic groups as well as to make sure emigrants do not suffer neglect from the advantages of existing social structures, like hospitals, education, or the police, to name a few. Too many, too quickly, is an invasion not immigration. There must be time to assimilate if we are to keep our melting pot simmering without boiling over in order to serve those joining it.

But boiling over, whether we are aware of it or not, is the goal of agents of change. Shrinking the language, making everything the same, perhaps even including bathrooms, is a part of that strategy,
