Good and evil: simply put, every person on Earth has both sides. Although the two are complete opposites, they coexist as a part of human nature — under a pleasant exterior, everyone has another side. The idea of these two qualities is explored in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (John W. Lowell Company, 1886). One day, while on their weekly stroll, the distinguished lawyer Mr. Utterson and his friend Enfield pass by a mysterious and unkempt house. Enfield then tells Mr. Utterson of a…

One of the most uncertain things that all humans face is their real identity. This difficulty has caused a lot of confusion about who we really are and how we become our own person. There are many different theories to how people can identify themselves, but Social Identity Theory is the most viable and reasonable.

Humans are overall good in my eyes and they were made good by God. People are put on this earth for reason and if they want to be to be evil and bad people then that’s their choice. Everyone has good in them no matter who you are. I believe that humans are good because of Ralph and piggy and when we mosses led the Israelites out of Egypt. William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies shows that humans are good through the characters of Ralph and Piggy. They both show examples of trust, leadership,…

"It is not power that corrupts but fear, Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of the power corrupts those who are subject to it" A quote by Aung San Suu Kyi.
