Evil Around Every Corner Humans have always been capable of doing evil things. It is almost instinct even if we know it is bad.

2. In your opinion, what do you think about Holmes claiming he was the Devil? Can people be inherently evil (are people born serial killers)?…
Gregory Maguire has remarked, “People who claim that they're evil are usually no worse than the rest of us... It's people who claim that they're good, or any way better than the rest of us, that you have to be wary of ”(Goodreads). During WWII, Hitler believed that what he was doing to millions of innocent people was for the good of his nation. This makes him a truly evil character in history. The prisoners of his death factories included the Jewish people, Roma, homosexuals, and political prisoners.…
A person isn’t born evil but it’s the circumstances that one grows up in that creates one’s identity. People tend to do everything in their will to get out of hardship and find a better life for themselves. Although the process of achieving that comfort is controversial; some people take the hard and long way whereas others prefer to take the quick and short way of success. Especially in a world where we want everything quick and fast, the later way is preferred by most.…
A question that has been asked since the beginning of time, can a man be purely evil? Several famous figures have only made the question expand, due to their acts of terror upon mankind. Recent figures such as Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden, along with a past historical individual, Elizabeth Bathory, lead us to believe there are people born with an evil filled soul. However, all of these ghastly personalities had to have families and loved ones that saw the true person inside of them. After speculation of these four figures, it can be concluded that although a person may commit countless, horrific acts, they can still have good in their hearts.…
People are not born evil. It is my opinion that as a child, we are always molded and influenced by the important people that touch our lives daily. Basically it begins with our caregiver’s weather it is our parents, grandparents, family members or babysitter. The mother and father plays a major role on their child’s personality. Therefore if somebody experience any type of abuse during their childhood whether it is physical or mental, most times they are awkward socially and they view society differently.…
Crimes against humanity are acts towards a population that damages to hurt the population in a whole. A tremendous act against humanity was the extermination that the Nazis planned against the Jewish population in Europe. These actd started with the rise of one man, Adolf Hitler. World War one ended with the Treaty of Versailles which set the environment up for Hitler in the Nazis to rise. The Third Reich guided the social crime against the Jewish people and use excuses such as racial laws for the violent acts that led to the tragic loss of World War two.…
In our world there are some evil people who will kill, cheat, and steal. But there are many more people who are seen as selfless and put others before themselves. So a question that has been going through many people's minds for centuries is whether humans are inherently good or bad.…
Some people can be born evil, and some people can develop evil traits as they get older. Humans are not evil nor good. Humans are just human, and the only reason for them to become evil, is if the environment they are surrounded by, encourages bad behaviors. Humans when they are born don't have a sense of what is going on, so how could we tell if they are born evil?…
To say a person is naturally good or evil from birth is a misnomer. Good and evil are traits that exist within every individual in equal measure. Every person without fail is a combination of various positive and negative aspects. People that behave in a cruel manner that can be construed as evil could be rehabilitated and eventually display good qualities such as empathy and kindness or vice versa. Being good is in my own opinion is the combination of abilities to empathise with others, and the to put others before yourself.…
- Everyone is born with evil inside them; it is just a matter of how far someone will take these ideas to push the person to their breaking point. - We see in this Shakespeare play that evil is the common piece that links both Macbeth’s together along with the witches too. - There is also the supernatural element with the witches messing with fate and free will of Macbeth. - When Lady Macbeth hears the prophecy that her husband will becoming king of Scotland, it is that idea of more power which kick starts the evil inside her.…
Introduction: Obedience refers to the act of obeying commands from an individual who is perceived as an authority figure. As a form of social influence taught from early childhood, obedience plays a crucial role within society to create and maintain order and stability (Colman, 2015). Although obedience serves numerous productive functions, orders given to cause physical or mental harm can be detrimental. Throughout his rise to power, Adolf Hitler used this psychological mechanism for his own political purpose which consequently led to the killings of millions of innocent people. During the Nuremberg trials where justice was sought against Nazi war criminals, Adolf Eichmann surprisingly claimed in his defence that he had simply obeyed orders (Baron & Branscombe, 2013).…
Being Inherently Good This has been a long argument for many years that people have tried to pin point an answer to. Not only has there been many debates on being inherently good or evil there is much evidence that humans are inherently good. Human nature means the ways of thinking, feeling and acting that are common to most people. It is our base mentality to be inherently good.…
I liked the “180 The Movie” because is informative for people who doesn’t value life and it’s a reminder or an eye opener for people who value life, but they are not strong in their beliefs. It was very strong in the information given, but as humans sometimes we need to be shown and talk to like that in order to realize how bad the consequences are due to one person wrong decision with no spiritual belief and values. I also liked the way the interviewer handle the different responses of everyone in the movie and the comparisons he made with the Holocaust situation relating it to abortion, and the value of life when introducing the ten commandments in the bible. Every time I heard a question in the video I was giving myself a personal response…
We all know the story of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, right? Every American knows that these people were much more than Americans, they were great American Presidents. These were men who physically changed the world to be the way it is today, imagine if our nation was never born or turned away from racial discrimination. America would not be where we are today if it wasn’t for these men and many other great Americans like them. Why could I safely assume that you knew who these men were?…
