Responsibility and ethics are important concepts within every society, community, organization, or nation. Different artworks provide an understanding of responsibility and ethics. Examples of such art include the novel "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley, "Jurassic Park" film from the director Steven Spielberg, and the movie "Into the Wild" by Sean Pean. All the three cases describe how irresponsible behaviors lead to serious consequences, which the perpetrators need to live up to or accept. .

First in the novel "Frankenstein", Victor Frankenstein abandons his creature shortly after creating it, and the creature angry with his creator questions Victors irresponsible pursuit of scientific knowledge. He wonders how Frankenstein could create a life without considering the consequences of his creation. The author says "How dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to be greater than his nature will allow" (Shelley 59) to depict the fact that the creator had knowledge and was to be responsible for the same. The creature begs to know what kind of responsibility his creator will accept now that his creation refuses to be ignored. The irresponsible act in this case is the ignoring, abandonment, and disfiguring of the creations. In a bid to justify this aspect, Victor in the novel says: So much has been done, exclaimed the soul of Frankenstein "more, far more, will I achieve; treading in the steps already marked, I will pioneer a new way, explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of creation. (Shelley 67) Indeed, every irresponsible action is usually marred with consequences, which the perpetrator of such act should be able to bear. In this novel, the creator creates a monster that later on goes out on a vengeful murder. .

Three ethical concerns arise from such creations of the monster.
