Hello,

Collective Responsibility, in general, refers to a group of people associated with an organisation/business taking responsibility of a task or person. For example, the whole faculty team in a school that attends a class will take collective responsibility of a particular student's merit or lack. This concept of Collective Responsibility is applicable in various fields, like education, private business or software firms and politics also. We see collective responsibility in several incidents of our day to day life. A software team collectively finishing a project, a CM and his cabinet ministers taking care of the State and even we all staying indoors to prevent spread of Coronavirus are examples of Collective Responsibility.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
