The Moral Instinct: an Exploration of Univeral Morality in Humans and Non-Human Species
Submitted by Rebecca W. on Wed, 05/07/2008 - 10:41pm.The study of morality has historically been relegated to disciplines such as philosophy, history, and literature. However, emerging trends in research suggest that the field of neurobiology would be a valuable addition to this list. Neurobiology research may offer needed insights into the biological underpinnings of social cognition, and particularly of morality. Precisely because the study is firmly grounded in a wide spread philosophical tradition, discussions about the neurobiology of morality shed light on many other aspects of the interconnectedness between cultural knowledge and scientific knowledge.

it. I want to provide a prescriptive
redemption of uncomfortable situations.
However, I am exploring discomfort from the point of view of the person

Sandra Cisneros seems to have a way
of creeping up on me… of finding me over and over again. Her short stories
popped up when I attended Bryn Mawr’s Writing for College program, and when I
tutored students in English over the summer. The week before we looked at
selections from A House on Mango Street in this class, I went to my
education field placement and observed a seventh grade class who was reading
the same book. She always finds her way into my life, and she always inspires
me to keep writing when she does. For years, I have struggled to find my voice
both as a writer, and as a woman in today’s society. I admire Cisneros because
she writes about what she knows – her family, living in poverty, being a woman
