Abstract
The evasion of responsibility in all its forms—criminal, civil (including contractual and tortious liability), social and community responsibility, and administrative and professional responsibility—has become almost a widespread phenomenon afflicting most societies. This evasion results in significant harm to both the individual and society as a whole, especially since the foundation of societies rests on individuals fulfilling their obligations, contracts, duties, and responsibilities properly and in good faith. When someone evades, falls short of, or neglects their duties, their actions cause material and moral harm to others. The principle of good faith in human interaction has been eroded by the apathy that has permeated society, beginning to undermine its values and moral obligations. The failure to honor contracts, promises, and commitments has become widespread, and individual self-interest has begun to blatantly overshadow legal obligations, customs, and traditions
Evasion of responsibility may take the form of failing to fulfill certain fundamental obligations incumbent upon an individual as a result of entering into a contract of particular importance. This failure to fulfill the obligations arising from the contract establishes liability.
Evasion may also take the form of negligence and lack of due care, which may result in the death of the person or permanent disability, as in the case of medical malpractice.
If this evasion results in harm, the injured party must be compensated. This compensation may be material or moral, or it may involve removing the harm or repairing the damaged item, as compensation is the means by which the court seeks to redress the harm suffered by the affected individual
