What is true Etiquette if we have done something wrong? Or had a wrong done to us?
Any examples?

Yes you are becuase you control what you do. You have the power to resist temptation.

Of course you are accountable, as should others be. If you did a wrong, the polite thing to do is say you are sorry, and try to do better next time. If you have a wrong done to you- depends what it is- I don't want to answer out of context. But revenge is a bad idea. While you cannot always expect an apology, even when someone did something to you, you can distance yourself from people who don't have enough class to apologize. Or talk to them- they may not know you were offended.

Yes we all should be held accountable for our own actions such as: Say I would steal something in the store and I was caught. I should be punished by getting arrested.
If a wrong was done to us, we should go to that person(s) and ask why they did what they did. If they are genuinely apologetic we should accept their apology. If they repeat what they have done, we should seek help for ourselves and perhaps them.
Good luck to you and I hope this helps you!

The degree to which you accept responsibilty for your actions is the degree to which you have more control over your life. If you don't think you're accountable for your actions then you are deluded. Everything you do and say has an effect.

yes we are accountable for our actions. If we have done something wrong, we need to make it right. If we have had a wrong done to us, we need to seek justice then forgiveness.

We can only answer for ourselves and our actions. I can't make another person do what is right. If we do something right we need to confess it and make it right. If we have been wronged we need to voice it to that person and not allow bitterness to overtake us. The other person must confess and make right his wrongs and if he doesn't you are the better person.

If you know you have hurt another you need to make amends.Say your sorry.It could be just that simple.If you have been hurt let that person know.Try not to get emotional over either situation unless that person who has hurt you refuses to try to understand how.Then,walk away.
You cannot force others to forgive nor to accept forgiveness.

Yes we are accountable for our actions. More and more people are forgetting these days.

If you made the choice, you're accountable for the action.

I think we re accountable.. we have the finial say whether we ll do this or that..
Say you re sorry - excuse me - I apologize - etc..
You can give the other person a gentle smile, with eyes that say "hey!!!" - or smile, and ignore their error.
