With the unceasing breakthroughs in science and technology in China, there are epoch-making transformations in economical society. Under these circumstances, a variety of changes will be taking place with regard to patterns of social life. A person is not only an individual but also an interdependent social man. Therefore, joint duty of care would be created due to more interactive collaboration in people’s social activities.
