A contract is the end result of almost every transaction we see around us. When you pledge to pay the vendor for veggies, you are making a transaction.

Furthermore, communities may suffer if indigenous or marginalised groups' biological resources and traditional knowledge are appropriated ... Read More

Adult centrism, or adultism as it is similarly recognized, is a bias that targets younger individuals more harshly.
