Life is composed of communication. Each day we communicate to at least one person. The brain is the beginning of communication. Even as infants, our brains send and receive messages of pain, discomfort, and pleasure. We express ourselves through speech normally and other times it is through other modes of communication, like sign-language or by the written word. The part of the brain for speech is traditionally found in the right hemisphere of the brain. Through many studies people have found that not every person is the same. What should have been obvious took many years to figure out. Because of the differences in people, the right hemisphere may not locate all parts of the speech mechanisms. When scientists and doctors first assumed the all people were made the same and functioned the same, it would seem as though we could assume they found many other qualities that they assumed were the same. When one makes assumptions on people and society the order of life that we live in can become crazed. Problems with medicine will occur. Social and racial discrimination will occur for if a white man believes all humans are just as he or she is and then comes across an Asian or African they would assume that they have "something wrong" with them, when it is not true at all. All people desire communication. It does not matter what race you are, where you come from, or what hemisphere your language components are. We are humans how have the desire to communicate.
