social changes and evolution of earlier communication systems. Chomsky and Pinker base their theories on Universal Grammar concept, which is the assumption that languages have a similar design and universal structure. The counter argument, which Evans presents to prove their theory to be wrong, is that recent findings in linguistics uncover the existence of languages that do not conform to universal design. For example, Lao, the spoken language in one of the parts of Thailand, does not use any…

Ford Pinto Paper #5403 In 1978, an attack came unto Ford from unhappy consumers. These consumers, or more telling, their next of kin, were unhappy with the safety offered by Ford’s subcompact model, the Pinto.
