동물의 삶을 관찰하는 것이 인간의 본성을 연구하는데 좋다 |
It has been controversial whether or not observing life of animals is good for researching the nature of humans. However, I basically disagree with the position that viewing animal life would be helpful for studying the real character of human beings. This is because human have reason differ from beast, and it is hard to determine a particular species to compare with mankind since there are so many kind of animals around the world.
Most of all, while animals behave depends on their instinct, human have ability to control their instinct by a reason. Generally, famous scholars have insisted on importance of reason as being human since 1800s, and that has been driven factor to develop advanced society. Accordingly, most of instinct of human are affected by the reason, and it is impossible to derive correct conclusion concern with real character of mankind by only studying the life of animals which does not have reason and behave by only their instinct. For example, In 2007 Human being Research Journal, I have read that nature of human have been changing since developing human culture. The Journal mentioned that Human had to control their instinct by thier original reasons, because Human need cooperation with each other to survive in tough situation. From this information, I am able to convince that nature of modern human is considerably different from that of animals. |
