For my First Draft < Confirmation >

1. What is my thesis?

The human behavior radically comes from emotions rather than reason.

 

 

2. What types of source am I using to defend my thesis?

 I am using a famous psychologist’s opinions and theory and other experts articles.

 

3. Are my arguments mostly based on evidence, logic or emotion?

My arguments have no hard evidence. Because my topic is philosophical and psychological, there is detail statistics or evidence little. My arguments depend upon logic more and emotion less.

 

 

My Confirmation

  There are some difficulties to shed light on the truth of complicated human behavior with specific evidences. Thus, discussing this topic should depend on logic and real examples. I will introduce appropriate logic and examples to support this idea.

  The first reason why I think so is that emotions are the first response which induce one to behave in particular way toward your body state or surroundings. This is also supported by Freud’s <Psychodynamic Theory> mentioned above. His theory which mentions the id, ego, and superego can be interpreted as concept of emotions and reason. Also, according to his theory, the process of human behavior is clearly explained through the concept of them. I skip specific explanation of the theory because I have already mentioned above.

  Also, think of your daily life. From getting up and eating to sleeping, most behaviors start very momentarily by the feeling of your body without reflection. It is because, emotions operate directly and primarily to influence on human before the operation of reason. Imagine your morning. Before getting up, sense of fullness that you slept enough or fear that you might get scolded later if you don't get up now come to you and make your eyes open. When you are working, if your boss set you a hard task, the excitement that you will be able to take a break after completing it or the fear that you might be scolded from the fierce boss make you do the work happily or reluctantly. In this way, the starting point of human behavior can be explained with emotions. In this part, the emotion is former emotion.

  In the next, human can control his or her behavior by reason(reflection) which comes after the start of the behavior. A Korean famous psychologist, Buyngsu Kim says that reason plays a role to control or limit one’s behavior through the reflection about reality, emphasizing that the most reliable origin of human behavior is emotions. Also, as mentioned above, once human starts to do something by the former emotion, they feel consequent emotion as an impression which comes from what you did. By the consequent emotion, you operate your reasoning system to control the behavior or save the memory as feedback. Suppose that you have a meal. After you overeat, you will think that overeating can make you unhealthy and fat, so you make your own conclusion that you will never overeat next time. Like this, a kind of system which estimates what you did and control your behavior is what reason do.
