According to the great Greek philosopher Aristotle"man is a social animal." That is, without society, he/she is neither a settler nor can any of his work go on. To do research on this, a small girl was locked in a room and all the necessary items were provided to her in that room. After 14 years, when the girl got out of the room, it was found that she neither knew to speak nor knew to walk nor could do any activity that humans could do.
