Q: If every non-zero left module over a ring contains a simple submodule, does that necessarily mean the ring is a left Artin ring?

Liang ChenIf $R$ is a left Artin ring, then any non-zero left module $M$ must contain a simple submodule. Since $M$ is not zero, we can take a non-zero element $m \in M$ and thus we obtain the finitely generated module $Rm$. Since $R$ is a left Artin ring, the finitely generated module $Rm$ must have finit...
