The article contains a theoretical analysis of the personal component of individual experience, namely, its components, which most fully describe the features of its organization, are singled out. The analysis was based on the A.N. Laktionov individual experience concept, suggesting the presence of personal, social and mnemic components. During the consideration of the personal component, its analysis was made in three aspects: the interpretation of oneself, the interpretation of others, and the interpretation of the surrounding world. The components of the personal component of individual experience are meaningfully defined: in the aspect of self-interpretation, self-esteem, self-regulation and the Self-concept; in the aspect of interpreting others, the values and the Self-concept; in the aspect of the interpretation of the world - values and lifemeaning orientations. Each of the components separately considered in the framework of various concepts. As a result, a separate attention was paid to the theory: self-regulation by V. Morosanova; the meaning of the life of V. Frankl, supplemented by D. Leontiev; the Self-concept of V. Stolin and the values of S. Schwartz and W. Bilski. The concept of the the Self-concept was also proposed as a generalization of ideas about one’s own well-being as a representative characteristic of the personal component of individual experience, which was introduced due to the need to embrace the problem of dispersal of experience over time. Personal theories for their compliance with the characteristics of the study of personal experience, including both domestic and foreign, are considered. Facts are given that indicate that the integration of the concepts of Aysenck, Allport and Cattell could create one of the most relevant conceptual foundations for the study of personal experience. It was concluded that the most appropriate holistic theory, within which the personal component of individual experience can be investigated, is the theory of the Big Five, which, while fully describing the personality as a whole, makes a separate emphasis on the attitude of the person to his own experience.

The issue of theoretical foundations of the economic nature of the organizational and economic mechanism of social responsibility of business is elaborated on. It is demonstrated that the organizational and economic basis for the mechanism designed to regulate corporate social responsibility is consisted of government regulation, shared regulation and self-regulation of corporate social responsibility. The central objectives of the regulatory policy of corporate social responsibility are highlighted: to engage business entities in solving social and economic problems; to introduce the innovation-driven model for fostering the social responsibility; to create new jobs and reduce unemployment.   The authors’ definition of the organization and economic mechanism for corporate social responsibility is proposed: a set of organizational and economic measures aimed to trigger interactions between business entities and the state for fostering social responsibility, implemented through regulatory acts and on the business entities’ initiative, in order to attain the sustainable development through creating partner relations of the state, business and society.       It is demonstrated that the organizational and economic mechanism for corporate social responsibility constitutes a multi-tier hierarchical system of organizational and economic components (functional components: entities, objects, principles), tools for mechanism implementation (tools of organizational, economic and social nature), and methodological support (administrative, economic, index and rating methods).

The present study examines the relevance and framing of Corporate Social Responsibility in the mass media. Challenged by the ethically (over)loaded issue of responsibility, communication studies are searching for a new understanding of framing to investigate phenomena of new economic values like Corporate Social Responsibility in public discourses. For the quantitative content analysis put forward herein, frames are described as footprints of diverse positions, which determine a given public discourse. The longitudinal analysis of 26 German-speaking newspapers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland between 1999 and 2008, a phase where CSR was aligned in business practices and CSR communication established in public discourses, aims at identifying CSR-frames as well as inquiring into the existence of a public discourse about CSR. The results show that there is no discourse on CSR itself. Instead of the assumed multiple issue-specific frames, CSR itself is (ab)used as a masterframe or “buzz word” in economic discourses.

The article reveals the conceptual foundations of the social responsibility of the court as an important prerequisite for the legal responsibility of a judge. It has been established that the problem of court and judge liability is regulated by the following international and Ukrainian documents, such as: 1) European Charter on the Law «On the Status of Judges» adopted by the Council of Europe; 2) The Law of Ukraine «On the Judicial System and the Status of Judges»; 3) the Constitution of Ukraine; 4) The Code of Judicial Ethics, approved by the Decision of the XI (regular) Congress of Judges of Ukraine; 5) Recommendation CM/Rec (2010) 12 of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Council of Europe to member states regarding judges: independence, efficiency and responsibilities; 6) Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct. The results of a survey conducted by the Democratic Initiatives Foundation and the Razumkov Center, the Council of Judges of Ukraine and the Center for Judicial Studios with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation based on the «Monitoring of the State of Independence of Judges in Ukraine – 2012» as part of the study of the level of trust in the modern system were considered and analyzed, justice, judges and courts. It is determined that a judge has both a legal and a moral duty to impartially, independently, in a timely manner and comprehensively consider court cases and make fair judicial decisions, administering justice on the basis of legislative norms. Based on the study of the practice of litigation, it has been proven that judges must skillfully operate with various instruments of protection from public influence. It has been established that in order to ensure the protection of judges from the public, it is necessary to create special units that will function as part of judicial self-government bodies. It was proposed that the Council of Judges of Ukraine, which acts as the highest body of judicial self- government in our state (in Ukraine), legislate the provision on ensuring the protection of the procedural independence of judges.

The task of choosing the rational number of power structures is always one of the main priorities of any political leadership of the state. An insufficient number of armed forces is a threat to the national security of the state; an excess number creates pressures on the development of the country's national economy. Today, when the development programs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being formed in the context of the practical application of their units and subunits to carry out combat missions, questions of choosing a priority approach to the formation (justification) of the rational size of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is an urgent issue. The article proposes a structure for conducting research on the development and implementation of the methodology of military-economic substantiation of the rational strength of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the system of defense planning of Ukraine in the formation of programs for their development for the medium and long term. The main objectives of this methodology are: scientific substantiation of the range of the necessary strength of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the period of the program of their development; the choice of the indicator of the rational size of the Armed Forces of Ukraine according to the years of the program from a certain range of its changes; military-economic substantiation of this number under the influence of various limiting factors. The development and implementation of such a methodology will increase the efficiency of the formation and implementation of development programs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as the efficiency of using public funds for the development of power structures.
