communal responsibility
Group duty together
Communal responsibility is the idea that members of a group share accountability for outcomes affecting the whole—whether a neighborhood, workplace, or society.
The concept appears in discussions of collective action, civic duty, and shared burdens: Keeping the park clean is a communal responsibility.
It implies that obligations extend beyond individual self-interest to the welfare of others in the community.
