Society Women do not have the same position as men‚ though much progress has been made in the society to bring women to a stage where they have equal rights‚ equal pay‚ equal independence but still it is not achieved. Though it may seem that women have a great deal of freedom and independence‚ the overall condition of women in the world of today is not as it should be.

I’m sure anyone and everyone addicted to The Mentalist knows what it feels like to crave for that mind power Patrick Jane uses on a daily basis (or per episode at least). I love it when he uses it to solve cases and specially when he helps people overcome their weaknesses and general issues.

A person can change from one day to another‚ we are constantly changing. Whenever we marry someone‚ they might turn into a completely

The article “Here’s A Terrible Idea: Robot Cars With Adjustable Ethics Settings” by Patrick Lin‚ immediately grabbed my attention because it placed the theory of ethics into the 21st century. The infamous “trolley problem” is the prime example that Lin uses to discuss the moral dilemma presented by robotic cars. After reading and discussing Lin’s article‚ I agree that robotic cars with adjustable ethics settings are a terrible idea. One of the first topics that stood out to me was that 12% of people
