To Sign or Not to Sign?
Child development experts agree that it is a good idea for parents to begin talking to their babies from the moment of birth. From that moment on, babies are learning language.
Why wait until babies can speak to teach them to communicate with the caregivers? Why not teach them sign language and communicate with them in sign language when they are 4 or 6 months old??
Controversial at the time it was first suggested a few years ago,
teaching babies to sign has plenty of supporters and lots of
companies willing to train you and your baby to sign. In fact, the
only detractors come from those who fear that parents may feel
under pressure to learn sign language in order to make sure their
babies get the claimed “jump start” on language development.
Among the benefits are exposures to making language six months or more before most children speak their first word (usually at 12 months) thus enabling babies to express themselves. Experts say babies and caregivers are less frustrated because they can express their needs and wishes. It is also believed that signing babies become more adept at spoken language earlier. Some suggest that IQ scores are higher among babies who signed before speaking by as many as 10-12 points.
What is your take of this idea? Have you ever heard of it? Would
you want to learn sign language in order to teach their babies to
sign?
Below are a number of websites to further explore the topic. Look at one or two of them before participating in the discussion.

Que. As we saw in the class lecture one of the most controversial ideas of Marx was his quote: “Religion is the opium of the people”. Many people now discuss the decline of the role of religion in people’s lives and wonder if Marx’s concept may be outdated. Here is your chance to update Marx’s ideas. For this question, you are to substitute the word “media” for the word “religion” in the above quotation. In other words, the quote you are dealing with reads “Media (or “social media”, “Facebook”, “Twitter”) is the opium of the people”. What you are to do is to focus on one aspect of media (it could be television, “reality tv”, video games, advertising, “second life” computer simulation games, sports (on television and in person), movies, social media, “Facebook”, or “Twitter”) and using the ideas discussed in the summary of Marx’s quotation – apply the same analysis to media today. Using examples to support your ideas, in what ways can it be said that today media operates to “dull the senses” and thereby (using Marx’s terms) operates as a highly addictive and sedative “opium of the people”?(subject is sociology)
(The answer need to be soft copy only)

Euthyphro's third attempt at a definition of piety occurs between 9d and 9e: "The pious is what all the gods love, and the opposite, what all the gods hate, is the impious." However, by line 10e, Socrates has concluded that "the god-loved is not the same as the pious." How did we get here? In other words, if the conclusion to the argument is "the god-loved is not the same as the pious," what are the premises? What are the steps by which we arrive at that conclusion? You will find all relevant premises, be they explicit or implicit, between lines 10a and 11b.
