Humans Turn on Each Other
Humans turn on each other when threatened or even jealous. Pertaining to the twilight episode “The shelter” normal neighborhood friends are having a small dinner party. A nuclear attack was announced, and everyday citizens were willing to claw each other to death for a slim chance to survive. Every moment of good times and respect for each other quickly goes out the window, when the chance of death slips upon them. Why do human beings move quickly between love and adoration to only the strong may survive? Human beings will probably do anything if it means to survive its just natural pre historic man. Human history its self isn’t exactly all that wonderful and honest. Throughout our time, human civilizations have been motivated by both savageness and greed. We fought thousandths of useless wars and colonized lands that were already inhabited by other people. Human being’s sold people into slavery or just slaughtered them, stripping their land of precious minerals for their own wealth. Rapped innocent women and children and then denying them basic rights. Having all the education in the world and even a good child hood still couldn’t change our jealously, and why we turn on each other. Doctors, lawyers and even teachers are capable of all this. I watched congress men bicker and blame each other when America was in an economic downfall. Republicans and Democrats went back and forth turning on America while we watch helplessly. These are the very men we voted for to help change America and to work together for our benefit. Not much was accomplished because most human beings don’t want to take blame for anything. Some humans do commit evil and knowingly, but some are not aware of the full consequences of their actions. This is something that can be attributed to thoughtlessness, rather than maliciousness. People are afraid of death because we know so little about it, that’s why most people panic and lose all sense of control when faced by it. Love plays a role

    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.…

    For example, Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV) says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” This means that there is a plan and that those who fear rather than overcome are crippled with evil fear which is shown throughout real life by youth. Furthermore once said by myself, ”I’m not afraid of dying. I am afraid of dying of how others before me have thus I am afraid to drown.” This means that dying the same way others have is frightening it makes me scared to for example, go swimming in the deep section of a lake where others have drowned and…

    If we all have the traits to become evil, why does it become a reality only in some? Before this question can be answered, we must first ask what evil actually is. Evil is "an intent to cause emotional trauma, to terrorize the helpless, to prolong suffering, and gain satisfaction from it all." Someone is considered evil if they willingly and gratuitously inflict harm on others. These people cannot empathize, they revel in others pain, they dehumanize their victims, they are narcissistic, and grandiose (they play God).…

    Society tries to diminish situations that involve someone killing themselves or attempting murder to one person for no reason. But, when a situation arises like above, society makes sure that the world will know about an accomplishment concerning his/her act. Anymore, a person will try to give themselves a name and try to “fit” in for personal reasons. Therefore, some will try performing evil acts to justify themselves.…

    Human nature is not exactly perfect to say the least, so it cannot be exclusively good or evil. A reason for this is because certain situations may bring out the good or bad in people. For example, you may be having a great day, spreading positivity and goodness out to the world and then all of a sudden someone does something such as cutting you off while you are driving. This specific situation may bring out the evil in you and you could possibly chase the driver down,…

    Evil can be used in two ways- when someone has done evil and when someone has suffered evil. Since God is good, God does no moral evil; however, because God is just, God punishes the wicked and thus causes the evil of punishment. People are the cause of their own evildoing. Furthermore, because learning is good a thing, we do not learn evil. It is people’s inordinate desires that drive their evildoings.…

    Xunzi is a philosopher that theorized “Human nature is evil: its goodness derives from conscious activity” (Xunzi). Xunzi’s theory implies that if one were to perform a good moral action, it was because they were scared of punishment or the loss that they might incur. He believes that they do not perform a good moral action because they primarily want to, but because they are scared of the consequences of ones actions. Mengzi is another philosopher that…

    We are the ones who determine what happens in the United States. We will soon be able to make change through our votes. Right now, it's time for positive changes. If we all took a moment to step out of our comfort zone, we would realize we are all just people. If we took the time to learn about different religions and cultures, people will realize that humans are not very different from each other. When this happens, leaders with positive influences will be created, and people will understand and appreciate each other's differences. There will be some ignorant people along the way that do not want to change their beliefs. This should not stop us. We must push past these obstacles and unite together.…

    The difference in the way humans perceive things is part of the complexity of mankind. What is thought of as evil to one person can be seen as good to another, and vice versa. The issue of good and evil is brought up in William Golding's Lord of the Flies, when innocent boys are set on an island to bear the weight of society on their backs. What happens to them? How do past influences effect them? Are their actions good or evil? The actions of the boys were not a matter of being good or evil, but were actions for survival. A man's environment does not influence him towards good or evil, nor is he born with it inside. Man has instincts and inner drives that are not matters of good and evil, but of survival.…

    In all humans, evil exists. At some point we have to release it, and want to release it. For example, on the island Jack and Robert showed their evil while beating Wilfred, or even Robert who was hurt while the boys received pleasure out of his beating. Roger states, "He's going to beat Wilfred, I don't know why, he didn't say," (pg.159) as he giggles. Another example is when Robert is beaten by the boys for no reason in frenzy where he is the pig. They chant in chapter seven, "Kill the pig! Cut his throat! Kill the pig! Bash him in!" (pg. 114). These examples clearly show that the…
