19. Both.

I think lots of problems are created by people making the wrong choices. People should take the responsibility for their actions.

However, some situations are beyond our control. A bad economy, high unemployment, certain illnesses, the environment (tornadoes, etc) and other things are beyond our control. I wouldn't say that it is my fault if a tornado tears up my home. But I'd have to admit that it is partly my fault for living in tornado alley and therefore increasing the chance of that happening. But, on the other hand, natural disasters can occur anywhere.

This is a tough question.
