People also have a responsibility to Society, they should not steal murder, or any number of other criminal actions.
>Society has a responsibility to reintegrate and readjust those it has failed
Where is the accountability in your world? If I pistol whip somebody in the face and take their wallet, then it sounds like (by your logic) that society has failed that person, rather than that person failed to abide by the shared social contract (to not engage in criminal behavior).
I like this point, but it doesn't really refute ManFromUranus' point. You're talking past him.
When we create this nebulous idea of a patriarchal "society" that should guide us in all things, it is easy to blame all of one's shortcomings on society.
"Hey, I didn't get into that college!" "Society has failed you, sorry."
"Hey, I didn't win that track meet!" "Sorry, society will do it's best to not let you down in the future."
I think that if you ever try to cash in on what society owes you, you will find yourself woefully disappointed.
