Are atheists immoral?

No, atheists are not immoral by default. They are like every other human being on the planet, dependent on their surrounding and upbringing as some sort of guideline. To understand this clearly, we have to know where morality stems from, whether or not it is subjective or objective, whether what is immoral here is immoral all over the world. Once we answer these questions, we can easily see how atheists are not necessarily immoral, if not, more moral than the theists.

Morality is subjective. It is sole dependent on the person committing an act, not the act itself. We live in a society which I call a land of collective subjective morality. The society we live in dictates what is moral for that land. However, with the advancement of social media and World Wide Web, the world has shrunken into a broad global village. A person living in Ireland can easily discuss issues about morality with someone living in Pakistan. The discussion of these matters can be collectively discussed throughout the world. Hence, we can decide what is moral and what is immoral with each other through social media and come to a very logical and sane conclusion. For example, we all agree that murder is wrong irrespective of place and time. And we also agree that self-defense is not murder. We learn this through trial and error, through extensive discussion and experience.

Plenty by Isobel Dixon: Analysis

Plenty" by Isobel Dixon is a poem which explores the vivid childhood memories and experiences of the poet.Dixon describes, in this poem, her youth when she and her sisters could not afford the things they so greedily stole behind their mother's back; finally comparing it to her prosperous present. Plenty is based on Dixon's chaotic youth with her sisters. It explores the themes of chaos, restriction, and realization.

The poet starts by telling us that they used to run 'riot' and this was more than the mother could cope with. We are not told whether the behavior was meant to annoy the mother or it was just a normal prank played and enjoyed by children. The situation in stanza is not a pleasant one as the poet gives us a grim picture of the situation they had to cope with. Water was a rare commodity and because of that they could not afford the luxury of filling the 'old enamel a tub' which we are told was 'age-stained' and rusty. The reason for that is given in stanza two where the poet explains that there was persistent drought and dams were dry and 'windmills stalled.'

Bottleneck Processing

Sometimes children drop down certain words in the beginning of their language acquisition stage. It becomes very difficult for them to find the right word and combine it with another keeping in mind all the syntactic and semantic rules that they have acquired.As a result, their circuits get overloaded and they can’t produce or include certain words which they wanted. This process of dropping down certain words is called Bottleneck Processing.

It is observed from various experiments that they have a tendency to frequently drop the Subjects of the utterances almost 60% more than the Verbs or the Objects in a S-V-O structured sentence. 4% to 14% of the time, they drop the Objects and they rarely miss the Verbs. They rarely drop the Verbs because Verbs are Action Words and children usually communicate to express their needs. The longer the utterance is, the more they drop certain words. Generally, they drop functional words like Determiners, Conjunctions and Prepositions more than content words like Nouns, Verbs and so on.

For example, a child may utter “want ball” instead of the grammatically correct and adult-like sentence “I want the ball” due to Bottleneck Processing. In this case, we can see that the Subject “I” and the Determiner “the” is caught in the bottleneck.Even though this occurs, they are still able to communicate successfully and over time, they overcome this problem.

Cold Salt Water by Maria C McCarthy: Analysis

The given story is about immigration and its effects on the society and prejudices towards the immigrants depicted through the interaction between a loving and concerned mother and her rebellious son. The story also has a coming-of-age theme within it where the mother narrates how she has understood that her son has grown up into an adult and wants to have his own separate identity. The whole revolves around a particular incident mentioned right from the first line with suggestions that the narrator’s son, called Kieran, has got into a terrible fight and has badly injured himself. As the story progresses, the readers get exposed to the possible causes of the fight and there is a strong implication that it has something to do with racism and immigration.

The story begins with a conversation between Kieran, the central character of the story and his mother, who acts as the narrator. This conversation tells the readers that Kieran has got himself into a terrible fight. Descriptions like “shirt splattered with blood” and “nose spread across your face” in the beginning of the story clearly suggests that the fight was pretty bad. Kieran’s character is also described neatly near the beginning. Going to “Tiffany’s”, a disco, wearing a good “Ben Sherman” shirt implies that Kieran is an active and outgoing young adult. He is no longer the little kid who “sniff the snot back up into his nose” because his father told him that “boys don’t cry”. Therefore, we can establish that Kieran is capable of making his own decisions and the fight which has taken place is done willingly. 

Biological Basis for Language and Evidences for Modularity of the Brain

Impairments or anomalies found during the processing or production of linguistic information are called language disorders. There are mainly two types of language disorders namely, acquired language disorder and developmental language disorder. Language disorders are mainly concerned with the comprehension of speech and its articulation. Some common symptoms of language disorders are delayed language development, not achieving adult-like fluency and so on. Language disorders include aphasia.

Acquired aphasia is the impairment to language resulting from brain damage. Both Broca and Wernicke found patients with language impairments after receiving some form of injury on the left side of their brains. The difference is that Broca’s patient could only produce one syllable “tan” implying that there is a part in the brain which is responsible for speech production. Meanwhile, Wernicke had a couple of patients who spoke nonsensical words fluently after receiving injury on a different part of the left hemisphere implying that there is another area within the left hemisphere responsible for speech comprehension.  This kind of influence on language is further confirmed by transcortical aphasia where injury within specific areas of the brain affect language differently. From these results, we can assume that the left hemisphere is comparatively more responsible for language acquisition. That is, the brain shows modularity.
