But no rational ethical system‚ however efficient has so far ensured peace and happiness in the world. We are badly in need of something else. It is hear that we see the relevance of Emmanuel Levinas. He has expounded the concept that it is the face of the other‚ not any legal system that can affect my transcendence to the infinite. Levinas proposed form of ethics becomes

OSI Protocol Hierarchy Session Layer The session layer is the fifth among the seven layers of the Open System Interconnections (OSI) model. It resides above the transport layer and below the presentation layer‚ and provides “value added" services to the underlying transport layer services. The session layer (along with the presentation layer) add services to the transport layer that are likely to be of use to applications‚ so that each application doesn ’t have to provide its own implementation

Biological organization is embedded with emergent properties. These properties are based on a hierarchy of structural levels‚ each level building on levels below. Atoms make up the lowest level ordered into complex biological molecules. At the highest level of organization‚ the biosphere makes up all the environments on Earth. Descending down the ecosystem includes both living and nonliving organisms and consists of particular physical components that allow each to interact with one another. All

society‚ past and present‚ has unspoken things that keep it running smoothly. Formerly among these are nested hierarchies. These hierarchies‚ for lack of a better phrase‚ were a sort of world view; they were ways of thinking that are held by the majority of the society.

Which poses a question: what happens when
