Finally, what is the purpose of good and evil? What is good and what is evil? Throughout this paper I will discuss my…

with their lives knowing that there is both good and evil in the world. Some might distinguish the evil outweighing the good, while others spot the good outweighing the evil. Whichever side one might choose from this debate, it is natural that for humans to stop and wonder about humanity. A recurring controversy that crosses over a person's mind is whether humans are naturally and inherently good or, worse, they’re naturally and inherently evil.

Evil is found all over the world. No matter where one looks, it is always there. Throughout history, evil has played a major impact on people’s lives.
