This paper explores the complexities involved in transferring psychological services to off-campus providers. The ethical and legal responsibilities of colleges and universities to provide services that encourage the development of the student may not be met by health care entrepreneurs who do not take into account differences between the needs of college students and those of members the larger society.

The paper proposes the author’s understanding of responsibility of members of political parties provided by the political parties’ constitutions and other intraparty documents (intraparty responsibility). Also, the paper demarcates intraparty responsibility, legal and other types of social responsibility. It is concluded that the responsibility of members of political parties is a subspecies of social and statutory responsibility. The study has determined the tendency of convergence (diffusion) of internal party and legal responsibilities; the analysis has been carried out concerning perspectives of treating the responsibility of members of political parties as positive; the author substantiates the conclusion about the need to study intraparty responsibility exclusively in retrospective aspect. The author elucidates the thesis concerning expediency of enforcement of intra-party penalties as the subject matter of responsibility of members of political parties. Also, the basic properties of intra-party responsibility are revealed and analyzed. The study has investigated the influence of ambivalent nature of political parties and peculiarities of intra-party relations regarding the properties of responsibility of members of political parties.

Henry Fan, owner of T.I. Drugstores, one of the city's largest pharmacies, just walked into your office for legal advice. He sits down across from your desk and holds his head in his hands. With a worried look on his face, he tells you that his pharmacy has just been sued by one of its customers, Elaine Jones. A year ago, T.I. Drugstores received a prescription for Jones from Dr. Kenneth Brown for Bendectin, a prescription drug used for the treatment of nausea and vomiting during the early stages of pregnancy. After reviewing the prescription for errors, the pharmacist filled the prescription according to its directions and sold it to Jones.Approximately eight months later, Jones gave birth to a baby girl with severe deformities as a result of the ingested Bendectin. Sadly, her child will never be able to sit or walk properly. Jones is suing T.I. Drugstores for negligently failing to advise her of the potential hazards associated with ingesting Bendectin. Additionally, Jones claims that T.I. Drugstores is strictly liable for failing to warn her of the fact that ingesting Bendectin causes birth defects in children.Fan informs you that the pharmacist assumed that Brown had forewarned Jones of the risks associated with Bendectin. Outraged, Fan insists that neither his drugstore nor his pharmacist acted incorrectly. They simply did what they were supposed to do: fill the prescription according to its specifications.

Being married and having children brings certain legal responsibilities and privileges. The current chapter addresses dating and other activities that occur prior to marriage or are related to getting married. In U.S. culture, dating is an important step before marriage and has undergone extreme changes throughout the past century. Once there is a promise to marry other issues are important to consider such as prenuptial agreements, breaches of promise to marry, and the choice of surname for one or both members of the marrying couple. Of course, not all individuals or romantic couples choose marriage. Rates of nonmartial cohabitation rates have continued to rise. These generational changes in premarital and nonmartial behaviors have important implications for contextualizing the current status of marriage.
