Learn English – What’s the difference between “obscene” and “scatological”

In many ways they are the same thing, but the "angle" is slightly different. Responsibilities are more intrinsic, as opposed to obligations. The latter, I think, is more something you have towards your environment, society,... surrondings basically. Allow me to explain why I see it like this:
If you have children, you are responsible for them, and therefore, you have the moral obligation to take care of them to the best of your abilities.
Note that you are responsible and this results in an obligation (in this case, a moral one).
Equally so, taking good care of your kids means good education, which in turn results in your being obligated to get them ready for school, help them if they need help, and, of course, pay for the tools the need (books, bills and the like)

In that respect, responsibilities are somewhat intrinsic to life: you are responsible for your own health and well being (eg: smoking is being somewhat irresponsible/reckless towards your own health).
If you, like me, are a smoker and have kids, I'd say you are obligated to smoke outside of the house, in order not to damage their health.

Your responsibilities are yours, but they result in obligations towards both yourself and your environment, or even society.
Sure, you might be given responsibilities. At work, or by people you care about, but these situations suppose a contract of sorts: a social or legally binding contract, which implies, in turn obligations. Basically: Responsibility and Obligation "go together like Horse and carriage, love and marriage": you can't have one without the other.

The inverse applies here, too: you are obliged to obey the law, if you don't, that causes harm to the society. If you get caught, and appear in front of a judge, you'll be held accountable for your actions (you are responsible for your actions, if you're a sane person).

So, a responsibility is something you can be held accountable for. How much you actually take responsibility for thinks, is evident from how you deal with your resulting obligations.

Just as patrimony and heritage have the following point in common - both signify something that you get from your predecessors - the two have a difference due to the specificity of the word "patrimonial". Patrimonial strictly means something that you inherit from a male ancestor, more precisely your father, whereas heritage is something that you get or inherit from the past, no matter from whom.

The word heritage has a broader sense of application, for example:

We shall always be grateful to the valuable heritage of our country.

Here heritage may mean natural heritage, cultural heritage, etc.

But patrimony restricts it to (usually), materialistic objects, wealth, etc.

Hope this helps
