RJA #10a: These Statement

RJA #10a: Thesis Statement

Research Question:
What are the genetic and biological etiology theories of violence and aggression?

Precise claim:
Understanding the main theories behind violence and aggression, especially genetic and biological theories, will help to get into the brain of violent individuals.

Reasons:

~Neuroscience provides valuable information about the ongoing nature vs nurture debate.

~The brain contains the cerebral cortex and limbic system, which consist of grey matter and nerves cells involved in the regulation of emotions. If these areas are damaged, individuals may be more prone to violent behavior.

Complete thesis statement:

Understanding the minds of violent individuals heavily relies on biological and genetic theories of violence that provide valuable information about aspects of nature versus nurture, which are at the forefront of an ongoing debate, as well as important information about the anatomy of the brain and different systems that assist in regulating emotions.
