It seems that when bad things happen, the person who “does”
it is to blame. I, however, feel that there is more to it than that. For
example, if someone lends their friend a car that has faulty brakes, and the
friend gets into a crash, the blame is dependent on a few factors. If the car
owner discloses the fact that the brakes are faulty, then I believe the friend
is at fault because they took their chances by driving the car knowing the
brakes are defective. However, if the car owner did not tell their friend about the breaks, then it is definitely the
car owner’s responsibility. If the friend did not know of the damage, they
could not take the necessary precautions to avoid an accident. The methods of discerning liability, I believe,
depend entirely on the situation at hand. Not all circumstances are the same,
and so how the guilty party is determined must differ, as well.
