20117 이준우 Classical Argument Outline (change)

1. The introduction, which warms up the audience, establishes goodwill and rapport with the readers, and announces the general theme or thesis of the argument.
I will start by describing the situation everyone has already debated : As of now, we know that both nature and nurture play important roles in human development, but we have not known yet whether we are developed majorly because of nature or due to nurture. Then, I will shift attention to what is more important in shaping human behavior or characteristic. I will end my thesis, "The nurture plays more important role in shaping human behavior or characteristic than the nature."
2. The narration, which summarizes relevant background material, provides any information the audience needs to know about the environment and circumstances that produce the argument, and set up the stakes-what’s at risk in this question. In academic writing, this often takes the form of a literature review.
First, I will give a brief explanation of the behaviorism and the definition of the nurture. Then, I will summarize the research that I've done and provide an explanation for why the nurture is more important role. 
3. The confirmation,which lays out in a logical order (usually strongest to weakest or most obvious to most subtle) the claims that support the thesis, providing evidence for each claim.
I will start by examining how the behaviorism theory evolve my argument that the nurture is more important in shaping human characteristic than the nature. I will explain and describe the examples that support my argument, the story of Mencius, and the story of criminals.
4. The refutation and concession, which looks at opposing viewpoints to the writer’s claims, anticipating objections from the audience, and allowing as much of the opposing viewpoints as possible without weakening the thesis.
I will refute that DNA has a lot of information of the parent, so, It means that DNA has been more influenced. I will use the example, the formation of mother tongue.
5. The summation, which provides a strong conclusion, amplifying the force of the argument,  and showing the readers that this solution is the best at meeting the circumstances.
I will close with a summary of my previous points, then a brief explanation. I will end with a reaffirmation of my original thesis.

Source:
Nature VS Nurture in Psychology
http://www.simplypsychology.org/naturevsnurture.html

My Topic:
Between Nature and Nurture, Which is more important in forming human behavior and characteristic?

What I hope to learn from this source:
I want to find out more specific information for my topic. Moreover, through this source, I hope to found an theory of psychology about the nature and nurture.

Notes:
1. 

Behaviorism theory is most related to the nurture.

2. 
Bandura's (1977) social learning theory states that aggression is a learnt from the environment through observation and imitation. This is seen in his famous bobo doll experiment (Bandura, 1961). Also Skinner (1957) believed that language is learnt from other people via behavior shaping techniques. 

For many environmentalists there is a barely disguised right wing agenda behind the work of the behavioral geneticists.  In their view part of the difference in the I.Q. scores of different ethnic groups is due to in built biases in the methods of testing.  More fundamentally they believe that differences in intellectual ability are a product of social inequalities in access to material resources and opportunities.  To put it simply children brought up in the ghetto tend to score lower on tests because they are denied the same life chances as more privileged members of society.

Final Thoughts:
This source is not only specific, but also good. This source should be the theory for my reason. However, I should find out more experiences or examples about the topic.

20117 이준우 Articulation (change)

1)
I want to argue that nurture plays more important role in shaping human characteristic. Many people said that physical features can be identified as identical to that of your parents, like your eyes from your farther, and the hair color from your mother. However, personality and talents may have not come from your father or mother. The environment where you grew up may have a lasting effect or influence on that way you talk, behave and respond to the things around you.
2)
My first research question was, Between nature and nurture, Which one is more important role in forming the human behavior or characteristic?. As I search about the nature and nurture, I got an important article that explains about the experiences of nature and nurture. In the article, Physical features can be identified as identical, but the personality and talents may have come from the environment. After I read the article, I consider about my experience. When I was young, People have said that I look just like my mom more than father. However, I have not heard that my personality doesn't look like my parents. So, I choose the argument that nurture is more influenced than nature.
3)
I should find examples that support my argument.
a) Are there any examples that support my argument?
b) How can I compare the influence of the nurture to the nature?
c) What is the psychological theory of the nurture?
4)
My argument has a connection to the Harvard Sampler. First, it obviously is directly related to the human mind. Second, it connects to the psychological theory.
