Responsibility for Actions

Why does everyone assume these days that if things go wrong it is always someone else's fault? A flippant example of this is when contestants make comments about being voted off, very few admit that they were voted off because they couldn't answer the questions correctly and therefore they were the weakest link. However, if it were only that it would be amusing but people do this in their ordinary lives, blame other people when things go wrong.

It is the Government's fault or it is the company's fault, they never seem to acknowledge their own responsibility for their own shortcomings. As in I stole a rolex watch because I had a poor upbringing, or I stabbed someone because I was drunk. No you stole the watch because you were greedy and envious and not willing to go and earn the money that a rolex costs. You stabbed that person because you drank yourself into such a state that you became violent, if drink makes you violent then don't drink, and what were you doing carrying a knife anyway????

Some factors in a person's life are an explanation sometimes for the way they are but they are not an excuse. A person always has a responsibility for their actions.
