Even as the civilization has advanced to the era of nanotechnology certain behavioral pattern in humans continue to evoke debate on the basis of the guidelines of social governance , which stem from various philosophical theories mooted by the thinkers of various timeline . This is another quest for the development of the civilization from social perspective - and hence equally important as the researches for technological development , because philosophical clarity in all
