Sorumluluun

Sorumluluun is a contemporary term used to describe the state or principle of taking ownership of one’s actions and their outcomes, including duties toward others, organizations, and the broader public. It emphasizes personal accountability, transparency, and ethical reflection, often framing responsibility as an active practice rather than a passive status.

The term appears in discussions of ethics, governance, and organizational culture as an expanded or nuanced concept of responsibility. It is generally treated as a neologism derived from words meaning “to be responsible,” and its exact definition varies by author and context. Because sorumluluun is not part of a standard lexicon, its boundaries and applications are continually debated and clarified in different disciplines.

In practice, sorumluluun is invoked to advocate for distributed responsibility within teams and institutions, encouraging individuals to anticipate consequences, report mistakes, and engage stakeholders in decision-making. In technology and AI discussions, it is used to frame accountability for algorithmic choices, data handling, and potential harms. In legal or policy debates, it supports arguments for balancing duties, rights, and remedies through transparent processes and corrective action.

Critics argue that the concept can be vague or diffuse, risking overlap with other terms such as obligation and liability. Proponents counter that a clearly defined sorumluluun can strengthen ethical culture by making responsibilities explicit and actionable. Related concepts include responsibility, accountability, governance, and ethics.
