The main need for "responsibility" has, since the beginning of time, been to be able to survive.
In the modern Western World (the U.S. in particular) the basics of living have become to easy to get due to various conditions - including relatively easy to come by public assistance or parental assistance or otherwise private assistance, that - "why be concerned with learning or practicing responsibility because it's no longer needed for survival". A sad but true condition of a modern society that is becoming "fat and lazy" is that the beginning of a long slide downward may have begun that unfortunately might require some sort of national or regional upheaval or catastrophe to correct. Correction of this probably cannot happen using only a one-on-one personal approach ... possible but not likely.
What it boils down to is this: How are parents going to teach responsibility when really, the kids see no reason for it other than maybe to attain wealth through descipline that must arise from a focused pattern of personal responsibility ... and the attainment of wealth in the long run cannot be the long term driver for happiness and peace for a large number of people in an ever growing population.
Back to my first sentence ... the best permanent and long term incentive for being responsible is to have to be in order to survive.
