Everything a Person Does Is Influenced By Society

========REBUTTALS=========How Actions influence Society" I said in R2 that society is a group of people, of varying size and structure."I don't see how this definition has any impact on the argument I made against it. I am talking about human beings that we didn't even know existed on the total opposite spectrum of the planet developed speech the same way as their brothers from far away. We literally developed speech naturally in accordance to creating our own society, and directly influencing that soiciety there in.Natural actions"I said that "all actions are influenced by society" besides automatic brain functions and primitive reflexes. Society is a term that can be broadly applied. Society can mean humanityitself. Or, society can mean mycommunity that only consists of a few thousand people. Usually society is applied to areas withsimilar cultural-social distinctions."If this is really what you are argument, then I will go as far as to say that this is abusive, and a logical fallacy. You are literally giving me nothing to argue with this statement. This argument detracts the ability for me to make any arguement against your case, as it basically says that every argument I have made is impossible to look to. I don't see why automatic brain functions and primitive reflexes should be an exception. You must substantiate your claim that EVERYTHING a person does is influenced by society. The resolution doesn't say "except for the only things you can argue that with". Conformity "So you agree that humans are susceptible to the influence of society. However, that doesn't mean that ALL human actions are performed as a direct result of society, although it strongly leans that way."This is not what you are supposed to be arguing though. You are supposed to prove that EVERY action a person commits is a direct result of society. You are essentially proving my side of the debate by saying what you are saying. It is my job to prove that not all humans conform to a society, and you have just proved that for me. Thankyou. "The colonists were their own society away from the British. Evenso, when we fought the British, our motives were influenced by society because society had hurt us(taxation without representation)." Incorrect. Conforming to society, would mean that we are constantly influences by the ideas and beliefs of the society we live in. This was obviously not the case with the revolutionary war. We brokoe away from society, and formed ourselves a new society. That society was influenced by people, contrary to people being influenced by it. Psychology"About the DDO memebers such as Inferno, their motives are still influenced by society (in this case,DDO). They are influenced by society who comments on their posts, and like the attention. Society influences them to stay on DDO because of the fun experience and their ability to communicate their unpopularideas."This is a logical fallacy. You are assuming that member such as the ones I have pointed on here our influenced by society because of the attention they get. However they are not accepted by the society as participants of the society, nor do they wish to be. Their actions are based off of their own accordance to being actively un-supportive of being in a society. Thus saying that their actions are influenced by society, would be contradictive based on the results. If humans learn languagenaturally, that doesn't mean it IS NOT influenced by society. The action of speaking a language is still influenced by society.You provide no base for this claim, thus it is unsubstantiated. Language is formed by people to create and influence society. Without language, a society would not work properly. We humans directly influence society through the use of developing communication methods such as speech and language. This is also a natural instinct as every nation has their own unique language seperate from other nations across the world. The fact that there is so many different languages just proves how humans will always naturally create them. "Thus, what we see of others in our society, regardless of size, we understand others through empathy. We learn because of other humans with our mirror neurons and other neurological systems through experience, and by alesser extent our automatic brain functions, which are still influenced by society."This argument is irrelevant because it doesn't prove that actions are learned from society, all it basically states is that humans have the capacity of learning. So we can safely assume that most learned actions will be similiar outside of a societal environment as they are inside of one. We will still learn how to communicate, eat, survive, etc. Our learning process is not effected completely by a society.=======MY CASE=======We Influence Society"We do influence society. However, then society is changed, and still affects us in other ways. If we didinfluence society (example: Amend Constitution to add Balanced Budget Amendment), society influenced us in the first place to make us want to influence society. In the example I put, we were influenced by society (high deficits), and thus we responded. So the interaction between society and individual goes both ways. I upheld the resolution." So according to your rebuttal to this argument, you are still saying that I am right. Even if society does influence us back in different ways, we still influence society in a lot more ways than it influences us. Societies are so different from each other in every country. The fact that they differ from each other so intesively, is exclusively due to the fact that the people in them, change them so much. That's why morals are so different and subjective to each individual society. The Scientific Approach "With feeding, society makes a price on goods. Therefore, we decide while being strongly influenced by society's price on goods. If the good has been determined healthy by society, we are more likelyto eat it too. See, even passively, society has an influence on what we do. "This argument is pointless. The fact is even without a society, my point is that humans would still eat. Thus there is no way possible eating can be an action influenced by society."With bowel movements, the food determines on what is used for nutrientsand what for waste."So are you arguing that society influences what we poop? " For breathing, society has influenced this instict as well. Through the chemicals ourindustries and societies have emitted into the atmosphere, the chemical composition of the air has been altered. "What we breathe in is not what I was saying was influenced. I am talking about the specific act of breathing. We have to do this regaurdless of what society influences us to do, thus this rebuttal is invalid. "However, you could argue that the genes that were passed on to us were affected by society on how our parents were affected by society. So really, I win here."No you don't. The genes that our passed on to us aren't decided on thus they are not influenced. The genes we recieve from are parents are purely natural and not synthetic, thus society has made no impact on our genes according to your definition of society. ========Conclusion==========I have proven that people influence societies rather than societies inlfuencing them. Everything we do as a group in our society is directcly caused by the people themselves in those societies. The fact that there are constantly so many changes in societies, just proves that people will always continue to change the way their society works.Also that withstanding, natural instinct specifically tells us what actions we must use in order to survive. Aside from being in a society, me must assume most learned actions would be learned instinctually. It is for all these reasons I strongly urge you to vote in negation to the resolution.I really hoped you enjoyed round one og MIG's debate tourney, and wish my opponent good luck in the next round. Thankyou!
