Everything a Person Does Is Influenced By Society

I affirm the resolution that Everything a Person Does is Influenced by Society.To do means to perform an action.Society is a group of people, of varying size and structure.Action is the fact or process of doing something, typically to achieve an aim.Influence means to have the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself.Interaction means reciprocal action or influence.Evolution is a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.I'll begin by stating the resolution then by explaining some justifications. Everything that we as people do; either as a group or as an individual, those actions are determined or influenced by the interactions with others. [1] The groups from which these interactions come from can be as small as a family or as large as American society or larger. Sociology is the study of structure and development of human society, and the interactions within it.Some of these actions are caused by the direct interactions, or by the influence of past interactions.People are influenced by society if they interact with society on a daily basis, or if they are loners who live in an isolated wilderness. Either way, society influences what we do in some degree, may that influence be either conscious or unconsciously known to us.I list three domains that support the resolution which I hold to be true.C1: ThinkingOne does not think fully isolated from others. Although one may think away, the thoughts themselves are influenced by society. The thoughts are a construction of society. Also, the ability to think comes from the genes that were passed on from our parents, which is a group that can count as a society by the smallest means.C2: Physical ActionsWe have learned to do a particular action from society. We are influenced in the actions that we do by social norms, or by the circumstances that society has allowed us to participate in. The tools we get are also determined by society. We live in our lives as part of a group in which we learn how to perform an action. We also learn from society how to do some actions such as how to walk, run, etc.C3: Unconscious ActionsSome unconscious actions, such as our emotions, are determined with our interactions with others. [2] Others, such as sleeping, is determined by where we can sleep, on what, when, and how is determined by society's interactions with us. Even if we woke up, fully unclothed, in a forest, unaware how we got there, society has made it the cultural norm to sleep at night, and wake up and be aware during the day. You cannot change this, and it is nearly impossible to fully adjust because it goes off our circadian clock which we have used every day of our lives.Our consciousness itself is also a structure that is caused by the interaction of society. Our experiences, either current or past, are constructed mental models, an mostly effective simulation of reality. Our consciousness is dependent on our present purposes. [3]The only action that may not be (although frequently is aggraved by society) caused by society is our primitive reflexes. However, these reflexes are a product of evolution, and evolution is determined with our relationships with society and the environment. For the purpose of this debate, involuntary reflexes such as are listed in link 3, and we will leave these types of reflexes out of the definition of an action for this debate. Other reflexes, such as sleeping, are influenced by society.Sources:[1] http://www.allpsychologycareers.com...[2] http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com...[3] http://en.wikipedia.org...
