My Persuasive Argument thesis
Human can't understand all secrets about the human mind with behaviorism.
1. What do people about already know about my topic?
People know that the human mind is too puzzling to be analyzed only with science because many people observed many errors and limitation of behaviorism. In fact, many philosophers hated behaviorism because it only focused on 'what someone does', not 'Does someone exist?' - Proving one's existence is the most important task in philosophy and psychologists also did because it only focused on 'what someone does' , not 'how that behavior works'. Furthermore, in our life, many people experienced certain change of emotion which behaviorism can't explain.
2. What research has already been done about my topic?
Note. This paper explains behaviorism as methodology of linguistic psychology well. From this paper, we can understand what is behaviorism, what is its function in research and what is its limitation. I only read the part of 'Its Limitation' in this paper.
b) Detmold's Refutation of Positivism and the Computer Judge
Note. Behaviorism is one kind of positivism in psychology because it considers scientific experiment and foundation as the most important method of its research. This research includes author's refutation toward positivism suggesting the error of computer judge. We can judge the validity of positivism in 21C from this paper.
c) Over the Behaviorism ; Neobehaviorism
Note. Many behaviorists such as C. Tolman realized of their theory. Mainly the inability to prove how certain behavior was made was their agony. So, they tried to induce cognitive science to solve this problem. This rebuilt method has been called as 'Neobehaviorism'. This indicates that human can't prove all processes related to the human mind with behavior.
3. What are the implication of my argument?
Today, psychology emphasizes the scientific experiment influenced by behaviorism. It is correct that psychology should be one kind of science. However, many psychologists ignore other things such as unconsciousness, dreaming and so on because these things are difficult to be proved by science. If they agree in my opinion, they tried to develop other way to analysis these 'difficult problems about the human mind.' As a result, human can understand the human mind more variously and correctly. However, if they ignore my opinion, they only can be able to research outside appearance of the human mind - visible behavior -. Human must be not able to understand the inner process of the human mind. Human cannot understand themselves.

My Narration
Science is defined as a field which are composed of assured and universal empirical found anyone can't refute. So to speak, science is 'universal' and based on 'experience'. Many psychologists argued that psychology should be a science. It's right statement because human mind has some universal pattern such as reinforcement and attachment but it is different from others'. So it is essential to categorize psychology as science to research the human's mind systemically. In fact, not only scholars who study humanities, but also scientists are studying human's mind especially the information processing. However, Many psychologists get their high horse, saying that they can prove all secrets related to human's mind with high technology such fMRI in 21C. Furthermore, Richard Dawkins, famous scientist, had confidence to human's originality by science in The Selfish Gene. In spite of this attitude, some awaken scholars realized that behaviorism which reflects this attitude the best in psychology cannot explain the human's mind. For example, these scholars refuted the behaviorists' opinion that behaviorists see all human's psychological mechanism as compensate and reinforcement like animals. So, I would try to refute the scholars who over-believe the power of behaviorism with suggesting the fatal error of positivism and actual case which shows that behaviorism is limited in psychology.
