Chapter 2: Conceptual Framework of Action

Human actions are often difficult to articulate. The conceptual framework of action allows us to examine human action in a logical manner. The conceptual framework consists of 7 critical questions. These questions allow us to evaluate whether or not an action is good. The 7 questions are
Who?: Who is the "agent" and what have they done?
What?: What was the "action" that the "agent" performed??
Why?: Why did the "agent" perform that "action".
What was the motive for that action???
How?: How did the "agent" carry out his/her "actions"?
Under what circumstances?:
The circumstances of a situation may also have an impact on your "action."
With or against whom?:
Every "action" is an interaction. We always interact with others.
Our "actions" will always affect others.
Some of our "actions" will involve numerous individuals.
As a result, it is important to be aware of our "actions."
With what outcome?:
With every "action" there is an inevitable outcome.
You are responsible for your "actions".
The outcome of your actions-intended or not-affects the self for good or for
bad.

In the end you can't run away from your problems. You may think ignoring it at the time will make it disapear but it will just come back ten times worse. It will go away for the time being but will never fully go away. Deal with your responsibilities as they arrive or they will get worse.

It’s very important to be accountable for our actions. Our responsibilities are our own. If we find ourselves in predicament where we failed out responsibilities, it is our moral obligation to accept responsibility for our actions. You can be lazy and do nothing etc but no one is going to take care of you and your going to end up much worse off and have to work much harder than you would've had to in the first place.

a framework of action cannot be labled as what framework used to make an action is created by the individual. What seems to be the framework of action by these standards are completely opinion based really.
