Law
1. Law in common parlance means a rule which (unlike a rule of ethics) is capable of enforcement through institutions. The study of law crosses the boundaries between the social sciences and humanities, depending on one's view of research into its objectives and effects. Law is not always enforceable, especially in the international relations context. It has been defined as a «system of rules», as an «interpretive concept» to achieve justice, as an «authority» to mediate people's interests, and even as "the command of a sovereign, backed by the threat of a sanction".
2. However one likes to think of law, it is a completely central social institution. Legal policy incorporates the practical manifestation of thinking from almost every social sciences and humanity. Laws are politics, because politicians create them. Law is philosophy, because moral and ethical persuasions shape their ideas.
3. Law tells many of history's stories, because statutes, case law and codifications build up over time. And law is economics, because any rule about contract, tort, property law, labour law, company law and many more can have long lasting effects on the distribution of wealth.

When was Stephen King involved in a terrible accident?
Stephen King is a very famous author today but it was not always that way. He had to work hard to become successful, like most writers. Until he began to make money from his writing, he worked in a laundry and then later as a teacher. Although his stories are full of strange characters and terrifying events, at the same time they seem to be very realistic to most readers.
A few years ago, King himself was involved in a terrible accident. He was walking along a country road when he saw a car coming towards him. It was moving dangerously from one side of the road to the other almost as it was no one driving it. In fact, there was a driver but he was drunk. Although King tried as hard as he could to get out of the way, the car hit him. The driver was not hurt but behaved as if he didn’t care at all.
King said later that he felt just like a victim in one of his novels. The man even looked like someone King had once written about. It took Stephen King more than a year to recover from the accident and even things he had always loved doing, like writing, were almost impossible for him.

Evolution
1. A central organizing concept in biology is that life changes and develops through evolution, and that all life-forms known have a common origin. Introduced into the scientific lexicon by Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck in 1809, Charles Darwin established evolution fifty years later as a viable theory by articulating its driving force: natural selection. Evolution is now used to explain the great variations of life found on Earth.
Darwin theorized that species and breeds developed through the processes of natural selection and artificial selection or selective breeding.
2. The evolutionary history of the species – which describes the characteristics of the various species from which it descended – together with its genealogical relationship to every other species is known as its phylogeny. Widely varied approaches to biology generate information about phylogeny. These include the comparisons of DNA sequences conducted within molecular biology or genomics, and comparisons of fossils or other records of ancient organisms in paleontology.
3. The theory of evolution postulates that all organisms on the Earth, both living and extinct, have descended from a common ancestor or an ancestral gene pool. This last universal common ancestor of all organisms is believed to have appeared about 3.5 billion years ago.
