Refutation and Concession

1. What is my thesis?
 Music has considerable positive effects on human mind.

2. What is the opposite position?
Music has negative effects also. 

3. What arguments can I anticipate?
a) music makes people feel distracted.(cannot concentrate on something)
b) some study says certain kinds of music make people feel likely to commit a suicide.

4. How will I counter those arguments?
a)it can be different what song a person listen to. 
b)It is not always true. People don't feel likely to commit a suicide with every songs.

My Refutation and Concession

 Some people can say that music makes people feel distracted and there exists high possibility that people's concentration can be dispersed easily when they are being absorbed in something. However, it is not always true. It can be different accordance with which song a person listens to. 
 In addition, opponents would say that some study says certain kinds of music make people feel likely to commit a suicide. For example, a song named 'gloomy Sunday' are regarded as the most mysterious song ever. In Paris,1936, one of the members of the orchestra that performed gloomy Sunday has committed a suicide with a gun and there were no people left after finishing the performing. However, it isn't also always true. In the world where we live now, there are happy and delightful music that convey happiness and pleasure to people than the song like gloomy Sunday. So the opposition's opinion isn't logical.
