Chapter 5:"The Bad Seed" OR "The other Boys Made Him Do It"?

I wrote this on May 15th and didn't post it because I thought I want to write more.
But its June 18th today, and can't remember what I wanted to write so I'll just post it.
Sorry for not having a conclusion x(


Chapter 5 was interesting than chapter 4 to me. I felt the importance of the introduction part of a writing. Chapter 4's introduction wasn't so interesting and didn't make me go into the book, but in chapter 5 the example of murder in China and the U.S. was interesting and let me read the other parts in a good rhythm. I would like to write an essay which can get the readers attention and make them read the body part without boredom.

In the "Casual Attribution East And West" there was an evidence that casual attribution differences mirrors the attention differences, comparing Hindu East Indians and Americans. I would explain as the Indians did if I were asked the same question. Well, this is not the main point I'm talking about this topic. What I was surprised was that "the children in the two cultures didn't differ in the the sorts of explanations they gave." In the very first ELP class, Rab made us do a discussion on 'nature' and 'nurture' and I said that nurture effects the people more than nature. But I didn't have any evidence and I wasn't really sure, so reading this I was very surprised.
