Abstract
Accountability, a misnomer, a conceptualization, a farce, a glimmer of hope, a stigma – what is accountability. It has infinite interpretations and is applicable at the individual, group, communal, societal, national and universal levels. We are individually and mutually accountable in this modern world of ugly want, we are born free but enslaved to society, we strive for peace and happiness but glamorize suffering, stratification and in equality. In a world which seems so well coordinated and process oriented there is rampant chaos and confusion harboring a serene insecurity, traversing across a path of exploitation and being reinforced with meaningless symbols of self preservation? Where are we going? We have moved from globalization to informatization, from independence to interdependence and from restricted economies to open economies. There is talk of good governance, corporate governance, social responsibility, matrixed accountability and participatory approaches– leading to what? Maybe we have to rethink our directions and comprehend where we truly want to see ourselves.
