Good

two categories good and evil. ‘Good’ meaning someone who does not cause any harm to a person or thing in any situation and ‘Evil’ meaning is the opposite, a person who intentionally hurts people or things. Some debates that surround this topic are good deeds and the selfish or selfless intentions behind these good deeds and the ability of one evil deed weighing out all good deeds. Although some humans’ good actions are motivated by selfish intentions, humans are fundamentally good because they…

stealing is a good thing if it serves the greater good, for example, Robin Hood. The words “bad” and “good” are subjective and can vary in people’s views. Yet, by looking at the world today, it is difficult to say that humans are naturally good. However, when a child is brought into this world, one tends to associate them with purity and innocence. Assuming this child commits a crime, one cannot judge nor blame the child since he or she knows nothing in life yet. So are we born good, but we…

How can a person tell if a person is good or bad? To answer this question first,an individual need to define the two words “good and bad.” To be good, a person would need the sense of approval, and to be bad, a person would feel inferior. The long debate about “Are people actually good” has questioned the mind of philosophers and the average person for decades. From the perspective of many psychologists a person is born with “Tabula Rasa” a blank slate. When a person is born, they have a blank…

lesson or moral of the story. Good vs. evil is the theme of the story “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” by Rudyard Kipling. The theme is good versus evil since the main battle in the story is Rikki-Tikki and Nagaina. Rikki-Tikki represents the good because he is brave and protective. Nagaina is the evil, whereas she is a bully and is greedy. I can see how people might think “Accepting a challenge leads to positive results” might be the theme, but the theme is clearly good versus evil. Good vs. evil is…

question of what was good and what was evil, since the lines have become increasingly blurred over the years. On one hand, evil is anything that causes physical, mental, or emotional harm to another human being, whereas good is anything done for the physical, mental, or emotional well being of others. The fact remains that people are born good and without evil intentions, but it is the choices a person makes in his or her lifetime that determine whether or not that person is good or evil. One…

shows that man has the ability to decide between good and evil, contrasting Golding who views that all man is innately evil. This difference is portrayed through the characters Ralph and Frodo, Roger and Sauron, and Piggy and Gandalf. I. Golding uses the character Ralph to show that man struggles between choosing good versus evil and chooses evil, compared to Tolkien’s novel where Frodo has to make the choice for good and ultimately chooses good. A. Ralph finds himself having to decide between…

ways. “Good”, like any other word,-has different connotative meaning for every individual. Some people consider a certain act good while others would wait to determine it good or not based on the situation. For this reason, it is an intelligent choice to define it by describing universal qualities and analyzing previous definitions that the majority of the population can agree with. Once these requirements are set, one can come to the conclusion that Sister Aloysius is a morally good person.…

“Good” versus “evil” is a dichotomy examined time and time again throughout literature. This contrast can be presented obviously in fairytales, however, when the juxtaposition builds subtly throughout a novel, it inspires a different type of dissection. However, each occurrence of this juxtaposition presents a conundrum. Who has the qualifications to make a statement on what is good and what is bad? However the fact of the matter comes down to this: the concept of good versus evil is elusive as…

According to Jorah Mormont, “It’s tempting to see your enemies as evil, but there’s good and evil on both sides of every war ever fought.” This is fundamental in The Red Riding Trilogy. No one knows how deep the corruption is until it is too late. Those that were thought to be good were evil and those thought to be evil were good. The baddies at no point tried to hide how bad they were or how far they were willing to take things. Their motto was, “To the North- we do what we want.” They were…

Good vs. Evil and morality are key themes in Ender’s Game. It is mainly represented in the characters and the motivation for their actions. Some characters seem to have more of one quality, but it is shown in Ender’s Game that both good and evil exist in everyone. It’s just their motivations, and whether they decide to act upon good or evil that decides who they are. Graff and Anderson are two characters that portray these traits. They decide that Ender is the one they had been looking for, and…
