1. One way the author describes a moral evil is that it is when someone acts from a coldly hostile calculation. Two of the issues that show this to me are the issues of racism and domestic violence.

Also, many people protest the act of abortion. Finally, we need to take the yes/no step. We must confront the evils of trafficking and prostitution and of abortion as evils and reject them. Then, once we reject these evils, we can fill the emptiness of evil with
