It is difficult to limit the meaning and relation between accountability and blame avoidance, keeping in view the relationship between them. These two concepts are closely related to each other with multiple coordinates. The resource under consideration is a chapter of a book that revolves around the primary claims regarding accountability and blame avoidance. The first claim relates to the comprehensive understanding of these concepts which reveals that both accountability and blame-avoidance have common features. Accountability relates to sanction imposition ways, while blame avoidance mainly reflects outcomes instead of related activity. In other words, for a concise and comprehensive grip regarding these concepts, these can be portrayed as mirror-image concepts in the long run. However, the other claim in this resource relates to multiple ways by which these concepts can be defined. Through the related review of litterateur and its concise analysis, we may use these concepts alternatives to each other. But by using them as alternates, the supposed mirror image relationship remains no more. In a particular dimension, accountability is closely related to answerability from the concerned ones who pose some authority. Such aspect revolves around the various impacts after execution of power or discharge of authoritative inclination. Regarding this particular claim blame-avoidance is conceived as activity instead of any outcome. It is vice versa for the first claim of the author.
Moreover, the third claim argues that variants or alternatives of both accountability and blame avoidance can be recognized through cultural theory analysis. Such understating of these concepts deepens the mirror image dimension along with the relationship between the two. Looking at the relationship between these concepts goes beyond the resemblance of mirror-image. Hence, the overall chapter entitles accountability and blame avoidance as closely related to each other through well-explained claims.
