- 1.–Find at least five (5) “real-life” arguments which could be rewritten as syllogisms.

2.—-Discussion 2: “Nature or Nurture Debate.”
The “nature or nurture” argument is based on whether a person’s behavior is a result of heredity or his/her environment. Review the “Either/Or” fallacies in the Thinking textbook. Please respond to the following:
- State the main reason why you agree with either the “nature” position or with the “nurture” position.
- Evaluate your own stated reason: Is it supportable with verifiable evidence? Is it based on reason or opinion? Would the other side think that your stated reason adequately supports your position?
- Explain whether there are other theories besides nature and nurture that might explain the variability of human behavior.
