(SRP) The Single Responsibility Principle.
- Each responsibility should be a separate class, because each responsibility is an axis of change.
- A class should have one, and only one, reason to change.
- If a change to the business rules causes a class to change, then a change to the database schema, GUI, report format, or any other segment of the system should not force that class to change.
