大人になったら社会に対して（たいして）責任があると思います。大人になったら社会にたいして責任があると思います。
Due to the lack of kanji here (or if there is one) for "たいして" I'm not quite clear on the meaning of this.
"When becoming an adult, there is a responsibility to "something" for society."
大人になったら社会に対して（たいして）責任があると思います。
対して can be translated as for, against, to... depending on the context.
When one becomes an adult, one is responsible to the society.
is literal translation (roughly).
"One is responsible in the society" also makes sense?
アメリカ社会について話すとき、その文の場合 「Has a responsibility to/towards society」 と言うのがもっとも一般的な言い方だと思います。 「Is responsible to society」 は強い過ぎて、 ちょっと違い感じになるのでしょう。。。大人になったら社会に対して（たいして）責任があると思います。

どういたしまして。そういう意味で使うなら「 have responsibility to society 」というより「 responsible/accountable to society 」という響きがなんとなく「社会に役に立たない人になると、罰を受ける」 としている気持ちが現れているようです。ありがとうエリザベスさん。
英語でどう表現するのが適切なのかわからなかったので勉強になりました。

行く: いく vs. ゆく | Japan Forum行く 【いく(P); ゆく(P)】 (v5k-s,vi) (1) to go; (aux-v) (2) to continue
The verb 行く is sometimes read as ゆく. Why does it has two different readings?
Is there any meaning difference between いく and ゆく?
よい is very common and somewhat more polite than いい。Same with いい. It is sometimes read as よい.

Yes, one major difference is, the negative form of いい is よくない, not いくない, isn't it?So you may be かっこういい (good looking) but nobody is かっこういくない (it would always be かっこうよくない).

Can you translate these words, and the whole sentence please?
1 - わらしべ - couldn't find this word in dictionary, I tried WWWJDIC too
2 - ぎつ、 ぎう or ぎる - the verb written gitte
3 - おりる - has five or six different meanings
ごますり (gomasuri) is one such way, but it is a noun, not a verb.Anyone able to provide a one or two common ways of saying '*** kissing'? (not the dirty meaning) Such as an employee to his/her boss.
What verb form is よかろう? I've not seen that before. It looks volitional, but...It's not just the negative. よかった not いかった, よかろう not いかろう
よければ not いければ etc.
よかろう is not a verb form. It is an adjective form for よい , otherwise known as いい。 As you guessed, it is indeed volitional.What verb form is よかろう? I've not seen that before. It looks volitional, but...
Then can you explain what meaning does -かろう ending contribute?よかろう is not a verb form. It is an adjective form for よい , otherwise known as いい。 As you guessed, it is indeed volitional.

omoi omokarou
tsuyoi tsuyokarou
kirei kirekarou --> what about -na adjactives?
-darou is used after verbs. But -karou here comes after adjectives. I insist that it is something different from what you say.rou originally came from ramu (archaic form of assumption), and karamu/karou I believe is contracted form of ku-aramu (aruramu)/ku-arou.
Since "ku" is a part of conjugated i-adjective, I don't think there's such a form for na-adjective.
The closest I can think of with similar meaning is -darou.
