There are two hypotheses on the migration of early humans in the New World or the Americas. These two hypotheses are the Land Route: Ice-Free Corridor and the Coastal Route hypothesis.

It was around 22 to 25 thousand years ago that humans crossed the Bering land where it served as a link to the New World. On the other hand, the Coastal Route hypothesis suggests that humans from East Asia must have traveled ...

Sunshine Skyway Bridge Disaster of 1980 – An Engineering Failure

Highway bridges on navigable waterways are at risk from vessel collision. Since they are primarily built to let vessels pass through, design considerations should include the probability of a major collision of its structural members from a passing vessel.

The other party to the comparison knows both sides.” First, summarize the main ideas of the theory of Utilitarianism. Then, explain this quote and discuss its significance in Mill’s Utilitarian account of pleasure and pain.
