The good life(comparison of ka
The good life(comparison of ka The Good Life Occasionally I get bummed out and begin asking, "What's the purpose to life?" I ask this because I see that most people live without purpose, without caring about others or about any cause. For me, that life is not worth living.

The french sociologists
The french sociologists The French sociologists (holistic approach), during the eighteenth and nineteenth century were much concerned with the ‘nature’ of society and of the human social institutions.
