The Portuguese became the first global sea power in the 1400s/1500s by developing cutting edge navigation technology and by preventing its trading competitors from early access to navigation records (maps), therefore establishing virtually exclusive trade routes.
As a small nation, Portugal may have appeared to be an unlikely leader in exploration and navigational science. Its geographical position, however, helped to shape its course. Surrounded to the east and north by Spain and having no outlets on the Mediterranean, Portugal was compelled to regard the Atlantic Ocean as its main medium of travel.
There are more lyrical motivations, spanning from religious and political expansion desires by the monarchy, but the main trigger was the poor state of the nation: the country was short on money and fundamental resources (such as grain) at the time, and that worked as a strong catalyst for what would become the beginning of the Age of Discoveries, in a very what do we have to lose kind of way: let’s try to find a new trade route by going where no one else went before.

His moral obligation dictated him to share his money and let other people benefit from it.
<u>Rockefeller followed his example and decided to spend the fortune helping others as well. </u>Both industrials felt it is the only ethical thing to do if someone is as rich as they are.
<u>These feelings had also to do with their religious learnings and the faith that a good, honest religious man should always share with others who have less. </u>
Answer:
Bob contributed to his injury and apportioned damages
Explanation:
Under pure form of comparative negligence, a defendant is only responsible for the proportion of fault arising out of his negligence. The plaintiff is still allowed a compensation against damages even if he himself contributed to such a fault.
Comparative negligence mentions that whenever an accident takes place, the total negligence is a sum of proportionate negligence by each party, which contributed to such accident.
In such case, the negligence for an accident cannot be placed upon one party alone.
In the given case, since Bob filed a suit in a state that adopts pure form of comparative negligence, he shall be eligible to some compensation even if the fault was majorly his. Though, the quantum of compensation shall be based upon the determined fault of each party to the accident.
