Responsibility
Responsibility is response + ability, which means our ability
to respond in any situation. When we make children or adults aware
of the responsibility, our ability to respond becomes empowering as it gives
us choice and freedom to respond with love, patience and kindness. Just
understanding the simple meaning of responsibility will help to take
self-ownership.
Activities to carry out in the classroom
รผ
Telling students to write and reflect on their
achievements, mistakes and failures. I think this will help the students to
know themselves better, and also, they will see that they have a choice to act
more responsibly. Also, giving appreciation stars or remarks on the classroom
appreciation board to students who take self-ownership and do their work
responsibly will motivate them.
“Every privilege comes with a responsibility. If you don’t
take the responsibility, you will lose the privilege.” - Sadguru.
Cooperation
Cooperation is working together to achieve a common goal or result. Cooperation brings harmony, understanding and team spirit. I think cooperation makes work more accessible and better as everyone works together using their strengths and skills to achieve the best results for the team.

“Cooperation is the thorough conviction that nobody can get
there unless everybody gets there.” – Virginia Burden.
The connection between Responsibility and Cooperation -
Responsibility and cooperation go hand in hand. Cooperation becomes easy if we know we can respond to any situation or activity and not react.
Cricket or any team sport is where we can see how responsibility
and cooperation together can make the players win. Cricket requires players
to play responsibly and cooperate with team members to win the match.
When we responsibly cooperate, we create harmony and balance
in society.
