einstein's quote
The world, since the day it formed, has already filled with crime and danger. The percentage of criminal and social maladies is increasingly gaining nowadays with many kinds of fatal diseases and famine. As Einstein said :” The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it”. Good or bad, evil or kind, they all depend on human’s effort, whether we want to do it or not.
With the development of technology such as media, human can easily aware of society, environment and current events nowadays like the Middle East, Lybia and wars. Although people know all these news and reality, some have funny rather heartless ways to deal with this knowledge such as:” Let the people of Middle East kill each other, It does not affect me” or “ I pay taxes, so the government should take care all off it”. These quotes are the reasons why Einstein assumed this world is dangerous. It is dangerous because human is becoming apathy, distracted, inactive and narcissistic nowadays. People do not care about their surrounding situations, they only care for themselves, how to benefit them and make them better.
We are accidentally destroying the world not through our action, but through our inaction. Our inaction allows the evil to conquer and invade our world. Taking action can be time consuming, tedious and even dangerous, but it is the most effective way to minimize the danger and evil which has already existed long time in the world. In each case, the action you take has in some way make the evil harder to approach its success which is destroying the world. For example, if you are still little, the action that you can attribute is studying or helping your parents with chores. If you are older and mentally and physically developed, you can do things more dangerous like breaking up a fight or scaring off a robber, etc. Also action can comes from the smallest things you do everyday such as keeping the

    "Everyone is aware of the difficult and menacing situation in which human society - shrunk into one community with a common fate - finds itself, but only a few acts accordingly. Most people go on living their everyday life: half frightened, half indifferent, they behold the ghostly tragicomedy this is being performed on the international stage before the eyes and ears of the world. But on that stage, on which the actors under the floodlights play their ordained parts, our fate of tomorrow, life or death of the nations, is being decided. It would be different if the problem were not one of things made by man himself, such as the atomic bomb and other means of mass destruction equally menacing all peoples. It would be different, for instance, if an epidemic of bubonic plague were threatening the entire world. In such a case conscientious and expert persons would be brought together and they would work out an intelligent plan to combat the plague. After having reached agreement upon the right ways and means, they would submit their plan to the governments. Those would hardly raise serious objections but rather agree speedily on the measures to be taken. They certainly would never think of trying to handle the matter in such a way that their own nation would be spared whereas the next one would be decimated. But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective, and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic. There are, no doubt, in the opposite camps enough people of sound judgment and sense of justice who would be capable and eager to work out together a solution for the factual…

    Albert Einstein considered the greatest scientist of the 20th century hopes to accurately respond to Phyllis’s letter that asked him whether scientists prayed and if they did what did they pray about. Einstein’s response is rhetorically accurate in the fact that he lets Phyllis know the answer to her question in an understandable manner and is not abrupt. Einstein’s audience is a sixth-grade student so he answered his question by saying “no” in a kind way. The writer Einstein uses pathos and logos to allow his point to clearly shine; he also uses simplistic diction to recreate his audiences understanding.…

    Since the creation of the world, humans have been falling into darkness and evil, as displayed in stories like Adam and Eve. All humans-beings have the potential to become evil, which usually comes from self-centered wants. When people go down the path of doing whatever it takes to get what they want, they end up hurting others along the way. Evil tempts everyone on a daily basis, but it is the choice whether to reject temptation or give in that exemplifies who someone is. When humans repel evil, the good shows through and their actions have a positive impact. Surrendering to evil is the easy way out, but will lead to darkness and destruction, and make it almost impossible to find a way back to the light.…

    Although crime and deviance can be good, it can also disrupt the collective conscience and be a threat to society (Giddens. 1972). Removing crime completely is impossible as differences will form, no matter how small, crime is inevitable and will occur anyway (McLaughlin et al. 2013). However, sometimes crime is pathological and can put society at risk, it therefore has to be prevented or lessened (McLaughlin et al.…

    Since the beginning of days, the fight between the goodness and hatred, bravery and cowardice, and benevolence and evil has always existed. The frivolity of evil written by Theodore Dalrymple argues about the existence of evil among us, questions the reasons of its flourish and the reason why we commit evil. He begins his article by informing his audience of his career as a physician in a prison’s hospital where he treated several criminals. He also expressed his passion of treating the poor people because, according to him, treating the poor is more compelling and florid. Dalrymple then expresses the presence of different evil acts he witnessed at his work and in several countries all over the world.…

    In the first chapter, the author talks about how most people’s attention is on eye-catching images, instead of what is going on in the world. People care more about murders, airplane crashes, etc. instead of the exploding populations or the growth in the amount of nuclear weapons that exist. Because of this, our environment starts to deteriorate. The environment will continue to deteriorate, and such events will be out of control until the human race realizes just how selectively the environment persuades the human mind, and how the biological and cultural history determines our comprehension. The book is about fundamental connections to our past and how the human race can “retrain” for a new world of the future. The book’s intent is to help people from all walks of life, educators, decision makers, physicians, businessmen, etc., change the way they make decisions. People might begin to change and secure the human future if they understood the fundamental roots of the many problems we face. At no point in history, has the human race had the power to destroy its civilization and ruin a lot of the planet’s life-support systems in a matter of hours. Over the past three decades scientific evidence developed many forms of the nature of both the human mind and predicament, and has now pointed to the way to the changes needed. The evidence of this has been from many different forms of studies, including neuroscience, evolutionary biology, climatology, geochemistry, and cognitive science.…

    Evil a Learned Behavior

    What is evil? Is it characterized by a desire to cause hurt or harm, “an evil mood”? What causes people to do evil? The strong feelings of hatred and dislike that builds up in all of us or simply that all our emotions are constantly on the dark side for such a long period of time. What is right from wrong when the hate in our hearts makes us all make terrible mistakes and commit evil. The writings of Confucius say, “There is no light without darkness, no positive without negative, no good without evil.” Throughout the history of humanity, humans have committed inconceivable and unthinkable acts of cruelty towards one another. From the brutal wars during the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans, to the modern area of ethnic cleansing and genocide one cannot help but wonder what is the root cause of this evil. Unthinkable numbers of human life has been lost in every corner of the world from the genocides in Armenia and Nazi Germany to the guerilla wars in Vietnam and Cambodia and presently to the devastating conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda and Sudan. Evil is a learned behavior which is illustrated in dictators, school violence, and classical novels such as Lord of the Flies by William Golding and Night by Elie Wiesel.…

    They say that the world is cruel. I say that we are the ones responsible on how it turned out to be that way. We are so reluctant to the mindset that we have long before this day. It is the belief that we’re all innocent, that we are the victims. But it’s actually the other way around. Yes, I admit, we are the most affected by the violent floods, raging fires, deadly storms, and all other types of destructions that Mother Nature seems to be throwing at our direction. We suffer from fatal diseases, experience shortage of clean food and water, and share with very little spaces for shelter. But who are we to complain about such things? We cannot deny the fact that we, too, are the causes of the problems I’ve said earlier.…
