March 3: Reflect on your research topic for debate
In class, we were asked to debate certain topics of human life and quality. Megan and I paired up and randomly chose the pro side if humans were inherently good. This was a good topic to debate about because it was a topic I believed in. Megan and I tried our hardest to come up with as many good comments on the topic as we could, even though they really were more or less the same thing.
Here is the debate Megan , Tahra, Vanessa and I participated in.

As we researched for this topic, we discovered the first emotion a child feels is love. They don’t know any other emotion. All humans are also born with a conscience. They all know the difference between right and wrong. The only exception is people who have been diagnosed with Anti Social Personality Disorder. These people have no consciences.
We found out that the main reasons why all humans turn evil is because of the influences around them. A persons environment showcases the evils of the world, but those who have been taught the difference between good and bad don’t give into the evils. Their environment If a person grows up in an environment that is willing to protect everyone from the evils that turn people into cruel hearted people, they are less lucky to do wrong. Unfortunately, this is hard to do because there are all sorts of influences in the media and surroundings that always talk about all the violence. Even the simplest of shows show someone punching someone else or killing someone.
The internet has its own online debate on whether humans are inherently good or not, to read one click here.
Once again, my favorite TV show, One Tree Hill showcases how easy it is to show violence in the programing.
