Most people believe that there exist safety in numbers, but there are times when a large crowd does not support a victim. According to Barlińska, Szuzter & Winiewski (2013), “Bystanders are the social

Ramayana of Valmiki

The Ramayana reminded me of Odysseus at first just because of the bow. All of the princes who wanted to marry Sita had to try to lift it, but only Rama was able to do that.

Abstract

Microscopic analysis of materials is generally complex; hence engineers always look for alternative methods of analysis, by appropriate modelling. In specific, studying the damage of materials is important in almost every discipline of science/engineering/technology. Material damage includes the beginning, advancement and fracture of materials. The most important tool so far, used to analyze this damage, is called damage mechanics which relies heavily on continuum mechanics. It encompasses useful theories for the representation, modelling, and analysis of material damage. Broadly speaking, damage mechanics utilizes state variables to show the effects of damage.

Philosophy

The Divine Command Theory purports that a particular act becomes either moral or not (immoral) on no other basis other than God has commanded that it be done or forbids us from doing that particular act. According to this theory, an action is only made wrong by the fact that God Himself prohibits it’s doing. As seen in the definition, whatever it is that God commands automatically becomes the basic standard of morality, and there exist no other moral values other than what God prescribes for man.
The belief that there is no limit whatsoever as to what
