1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
A common and popular adage states that a tree does not make a forest. Put differently, no man is an Island. Based on psychological, economical and biological limitations of individuals. It is unavoidable that individuals should cooperate with one another in order to be able to surmount the many problems facing man.
