    Reasons Against

    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Bandura's social learning theory demonstrates that children acquire moral judgments through systematic observation and imitation of caretaker behavior.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The absence of explicit verbal instruction does not preclude the presence of implicit behavioral modeling as a primary transmission mechanism.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Conflating 'explicit instruction' with 'all instructional mechanisms' commits a false dichotomy that obscures how observational learning functions.

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Aristotle's account in the Nicomachean Ethics holds that moral virtue is acquired through habituation guided by correction from those who already possess practical wisdom.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Empirical developmental research by Turiel distinguishes moral domains from social conventions, showing children respond differentially to authority-based correction in ways that presuppose instructed norm hierarchies.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The poverty-of-the-stimulus argument for community-only acquisition proves too much, as analogous reasoning was used to postulate innate linguistic structure that later empirical work substantially revised.
