A little compare and contrast
I recognize that these are just two snippets that focus on microcosms of entire cultures in a technological age. They’re nevertheless an interesting moment in “compare and contrast,” since both appear in today’s papers.
From Israel: scientists have figured out how to use technology to make the paralyzed stand and walk.
From the Taliban: Talibani fighters were planning on skinning a British Marine alive, and then broadcasting it on the internet.
I’ll leave you to draw your own morally relativistic conclusions, if any.
