Evangeline Castaneda · Answer 1

An obligation is the act of being free while responsibility is the act of having something to do.

Dominique Bean · Answer 2

A duty is what you owe to your fellow human as a fact of nature, and an obligation is what has been imposed by contract or custom. Generally, one is "obliged," or "obligated," by agreement or because of having received a benefit. If you take candy from a store, you have an obligation to pay for it.
