Obligation
An
obligation is a course of action that someone is required to take, whether
legal or
moral. There are also obligations in other normative contexts, such as obligations of
etiquette,
social obligations, and possibly in terms of
politics, where obligations are requirements which must be fulfilled. These are generally
legal obligations, which can incur a penalty for non-fulfilment, although certain people are obliged to carry out certain actions for other reasons as well, whether as a
tradition or for social reasons.
