It has never been proven whether language is a learned behavior or a natural tendency in human beings.  Regardless, no genes are tied to language - some do influence the capability to vocally speak though.  Interestingly enough, the Greeks believed that if you couldn't speak, you couldn't think.  In some ways, it is hard to imagine if it is possible to think without some kind of language element involved since it seems that all of our concepts are tied to a linguistic understanding - whether this language is vocal, sign, etc.\n\nEdit: To Agassi:  Agassi, you are completely misunderstanding what I'm saying, but I'll hold the fault of that to the limitations of the English language.  A PARTICULAR language may be learned culturally (i.e. "conditioning"), while language, in the GENERAL sense, may be a natural instinct (i.e. it is a natural, human yearning to communicate regardless of particular languages).  Hence the reason I used the term "language" as opposed to "a language."  In the French, it is the distinction between "langue" and "parole."  To simplify the question of language to "conditioning" cannot explain linguistic origins.  This is why some theorists say that we cannot ask the question of linguistic origins - because it throws their theories completely off and they cannot make sense of it.  Furthermore, with regards to the "part of the brain" comment - it has never been proven whether we affect the brain or the brain affects us.  It seems slightly more probable that we affect the brain, which would explain the increase in gray areas corresponding to the increase in learned languages.  This is why there are only theories pertaining to the acquisition of language.  To discredit what I say because you misinterpret is rather unfair.

"Wow, you're right" should have been her answer.  I can't find the words to express how I would like to comment on this argument.  And isn't that the point, written and spoken words can have their meanings misinterpreted, misunderstood and misused.  Every language has words that don't exactly translate.  Different cultures use the same words for different meanings.  Language is not black and white and it is in the gray areas that lawyers make their livings, politicians construct their images, propaganda stands in for truth and zealots feed their ideology.

Well educated. Let me answer your questions if that's acceptable.\n\nFreedom of speech - who'll listen? Morally correct concept, but in practical every day life, an individual is restricted on what he or she says because of social mores. In the last 15 years, political correctness has been the trend. That only curtains freedom of speech. On the other hand, I could say anything I want about any politician. What I say however most likely will be forgotton. Freedom of speech also amplifies opinions. It seems everyone these days has an opinion about this or that. Opinions, I believe, is the most common form of Freedom of Speech but also the weakest. Many who have opinions lack any kind of indepth knowledge of complicated matters, that would take volumes of book to explain in extricate details.\n\nFreedom of choosing a career - life experience has thought me to suceed in a chosen career one needs to be very talented or has to know someone. If someone lacks talent let's say in journalism and has no solid (close friends or family) connection, the person would be wasting his or her time in the choosen field. If the person has some but not much talent, the individual will not advance far in the profession.\n\nFreedom of religious- this is USA's strongest trait as a nation. We are totally free to believe in what we want to believe.

Freedom is neither a right nor a privalege.  Freedom is an absolute.\n\nEvery living being has the freedom to do whatever it desires within the limits of its physical being.  One can do whatever they want,  The question is what are the consequences of acting freely?\n\nAs an extreme example one is free to murder if they choose to do so, however there are consequences of acting freely in this way.  There is no such thing as a restraint on our ability to think are act.  There are only consequences once those thoughts or action have occured.

To begin with we need to look at the question and the language used to ask for answers. First is "logic". A simple definition is provided by Wikipedia which states:\n\n"Logic, from Classical Greek λόγος (logos), originally meaning the word, or what is spoken, (but coming to mean thought or reason) is most often said to be the study of criteria for the evaluation of arguments, although the exact definition of logic is a matter of controversy among philosophers. However the subject is grounded, the task of the logician is the same: to advance an account of valid and fallacious inference to allow one to distinguish good from bad arguments.\n\nTraditionally, logic is studied as a branch of philosophy. Since the mid-nineteenth century logic has been commonly studied in mathematics, and, even more recently, in computer science. As a formal science, logic investigates and classifies the structure of statements and arguments, both through the study of formal systems of inference and through the study of arguments in natural language. The scope of logic can therefore be very large, ranging from core topics such as the study of fallacies and paradoxes, to specialist analyses of reasoning such as probably correct reasoning and arguments involving causality."\n\nSecond, we must look at the word "truth". It is important to note that the word is not capitalized so we can avoid metaphysical theory or definitions based on cultist beliefs, such as christianity or other god-dependent or deity dependent definitions. The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy is quoted as proposing that truth is:\n\nA preliminary issue, although somewhat subsidiary, is to decide what sorts of things can be true. Is truth a property of sentences (which are linguistic entities in some language or other), or is truth a property of propositions (nonlinguistic, abstract and timeless entities)? The principal issue is: What is truth? It is the problem of being clear about what you are saying when you say some claim or other is true. The most important theories of truth are the Correspondence Theory, the Semantic Theory, the Deflationary Theory, the Coherence Theory, and the Pragmatic Theory. Whichever theory of truth is advanced to settle the principal issue, there are a number of additional issues to be addressed: \n     1. Can claims about the future be true now? \n     2. Can there be some algorithm for finding truth –        some recipe or procedure for deciding, for any claim in the system of, say, arithmetic, whether the claim is true? \n     3. Can the predicate "is true" be completely defined in other terms so that it can be eliminated, without loss of meaning, from any context in which it occurs? \n     4. To what extent do theories of truth avoid paradox? \n     5. Is the goal of scientific research to achieve truth? \n\nLogic is one form of epistemological approach to ascertaining knowledge. It is the "how we know what we know and the limitations of that knowledge". Logic is a tool for explanation of the ideas, observations, and experiences. It could also be said that logic is sometimes used poorly to acertain truth. Most clearly in areas of theology. Logical fallacies and faulty logic come most readily to mind. But that is another question for another time.

"Free will" is a Freudian concept. It is the belief that every person has the ability to make a decision entirely independent of thought about consequence or prior experiences. Contrary to this is the theory of "Behavioral Conditioning".

people belive that an arguement that is written well with a rich vocabulary and allegories  must also be as perfect in its logical process , which is not the case .\nrhetoric has been used forever to impose ideology on others.\n\nthe answer:  keeping it simple.

No, not at all, although reason is an important part of the way people think. We tend to conflate reason with thinking because of Western civilization's philosophical traditions.\n\nHowever other kinds of thought certainly exist. An interesting one is the use of similitude - drawing conclusions because one sentence phonetically resembles another, or evokes similar imagery. Just like logic, those thoughts then chain together, in a way similar to logic, but not strictly speaking based on it. \n\nThis tends to be most apparent in religious systems, where symbolic numbers might repeat in various scenarios so that new situations can be tied to old ones, because of the presence of the symbolic number in both.

The difference is mainly etymological as freedom is of a Germanic origin while Liberty is Latin.You must know that English is originally Germanic but it was so much influenced by Latin as well as French. For the meaning, according to webster New World dictionary:\nFreedom: the state or quality of being free, a right or privilege\nLiberty: freedom or release from slavery, imprisonment,captivity...., the sum of rights and exemptions possessed in common by the people of a community, state, etc so u may see, there is no much difference in sense but u can say that liberty is more formal than freedom. \nhope this helps u :)
