    The most significant bond of life is between the infant and primary caregiver. John Bowlby, the eminent authority, describes attachment as the natural connection between baby and mother (as cited in Alexander, 1992, p.186). Family dynamics have changed since Bowlby’s time, for this reason, the research analyzes the relationship of the infant and primary caregiver.

    proceeded the six full days and a portion of the day, which followed them. Was it six days or about eight days? Both are correct. It’s simply a matter of observing the same period of time from different viewpoints. Anyway, Jesus took Peter, James and John upon a high mountain.

By examining Rawl’s philosophy, I will agree with his original position, veil of ignorance, and justice as fairness which contains his view of human nature. Then, I will compare and contrase John Lockes’ differing views of human nature to Rawl’s position of human nature and defend possible assertions towards Rawls’ position. Rawls view of human nature assumes everyone makes decisions based on self-interest alone, while making a rational account
