Summary/Abstract: In a post-modern, post-industrial, post capitalist and informational society, to understand the meaning of responsibility is not a philosophical or obsolete action, but a crucial one in a society which should recognize its limited resources. In this paper, I will approach this issue from several perspectives, as responsibility is also present at individual, family, group and societal level. The problem of responsibility is discussed in close connection with the issue of ethics and morality, cooperation and self-sacrifice, social solidarity and so on. Unlike individual and collective responsibilities which are conceptualized, rather, in terms of liability to certain activities undertaken by the group or by an individual, social responsibility is described, especially in terms of obligations of a social group to society. Further, with the theoretical substantiation of the social responsibility and also of the community dilemma, I will analyse, from a sociological perspective, a dramatic situation which our country is facing: the emigration of medical workers, a human resource, specialised after important individual effort and significant collective investment. Amid a low social responsibility of the authorities, „the medical desertification” of Romania is increasingly obvious and the effects of emigration of medical staff are more and more acute in Romanian social life.
