"You are responsible for, and you've got the power - and control - over what you think, do, say, learn, and choose. However, when it comes to the lives and influence of others, you have absolutely no power - and no control - over what others think, do, say, learn, and choose."
"When situations arise where content promotes self-harm, such promotion potentially cultivates an unethical and dangerous pattern of behaviour, and associated distorted thinking."
"Research clearly shows that self-harm provides no personal, social, psychological, intellectual, emotional, or developmental benefits whatsoever. It is consistently associated with increased anxiety, distorted thinking, plus emotional and psychological distress."
Responsibility Theory emphasizes personal control over thoughts, actions, and choices, while acknowledging the lack of control over others. The media reports on a dangerous appearance-modification culture that includes harmful practices. Ethical considerations demand transparency regarding the promotion of self-harm content, which fosters unethical behavior and distorted thinking. Research indicates that self-harm yields no benefits and is linked to increased anxiety and psychological distress, leading to negative outcomes.
