Human nature is the behavioral traits that all humans share and according to William Golding our human nature is a tendency that leans towards evil. William Golding is the author of Lord of the Flies, a novel that was published in 1954. The novel is about a group of boys who's plane crashes onto a deserted island without any adults there to look after them.

In criminal activity we can see this being done because when the criminals get to the court room the charges more openly stated are the ones that caused other people harm rather than what the criminal was actually trying to do. You can also see that the people who get hurt are the ones who were either by standers or people who trusted the criminal. Overall, all humans are naturally evil and it is part of their behavioral traits to act this
