Are You Born Bad By The Things You Do Or Happens To You?

“The mind is its own place, and in itself Can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n…Here we may reign secure, and in my choice to reign is worth ambition “ (Paradise lost.120-21). This explaining humans can't be naturally born to act evil but it can

A new born baby is not born with sinful thoughts. Babies are axiomation of purity and innocence . Experiences such as a bad childhood, neglect by parents, abuse, power changes humans into being evil. How someone is nurtured also determines if they will become good or evil. Ego, lust, jealousy, betrayal, failure, and greed are some causes of evil.One is not born evil.

No one is born good or evil; it is one's environment and the people they encounter in life which makes them good or evil. A lot of time it is not the individual's fault of the way they are, they might have seen so many bad doings that, they are use to it and might think that it is right. One is not born with a vision of knowing what is wrong and what is right in life, but learns when something happens to

It is a very arguable subject on whether or not people are born with good intentions, and therefore taught by others the ‘evil’ side of their personality. Whether it is the absence of ethical conduct in human nature, or just the way one perceives a situation, evil seems to be prominent in our everyday lives. Humans seem to have a moral code that follows them with every decision they make, yet despite the laws of morality and society, people of this world still seem to behave inhumanely because of the act of self-preservation, human interest, and who exactly the authority figure is at the time.

The question “What makes us who we are?” has perplexed many scholars, scientists, and theorists over the years. This is a question that we still may have not found an answer to. There are theories that people are born “good”, “evil”, and as “blank slates”, but it is hard to prove any of these theories consistently. There have been countless cases of people who have grown up in “good” homes with loving parents, yet their destiny was to inflict destruction on others. On the other hand, there have been just as many cases of people who grew up on the streets without the guidance of a parental figure, but they chose to make a bad situation into a good one by growing up to do something

All human beings, from birth to death, have an evil part of them used to survive hidden deep inside their mind. This is evident in babies who can seem innocent but really have a selfish attitude towards others since their only goal in life is to have their needs met. Evidence of this being true can be found in William Golding’s The Lord of The Flies and the film adaptation of The Hunger Games. Mankind is inherently evil but civilization changes us, we always go back to our evil side, and without a good government or set of rules we all become savages.

I think that humans learn to be evil. Small, cute babies that come out of the womb, are completely innocent. They have not yet had a gruesome thought or selfish action, they are simply born as neutral. Over the course of time they begin to develop characters. Their personalities are created based on the environment they function in. Their actions reflect their experiences. If someone live in an abusive house, since they are not familiar with any other type of life, they will most likely act similar to the way their dominant acts at home. Bullies at school regard others with cruelty because they might get treated the same way in their house. Another example is that a “friend” can persuade or pressure someone into beginning a new, bad behavior such as taking drugs, drinking excessive amount of alcohol, or having suicidal thoughts.

People are not essentially good or evil, where they come from, how they were brought up, the things they have experienced and seen, will most likely determine whether that person is good or evil. However, certain situations can change that person's learned good or evil, this is called situationally created good/evil. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, the children have been raised through what society would call a good environment. When the children are left on their own with no adult supervision, we see dramatic changes in the children when they have to create their own form of savagery to survive. However, this goes sourly wrong when some of the children get caught up in their desperate situation and start to perceive things on how

In today’s world, there is an innumerable amount of different types of people. There are those who commit horrendous crimes and those who try to make the world a better place in any way they can. With such an unambiguous difference between these types of characters, it leads society to question if people are born good or evil. While many would argue that mankind is inherently good, there is substantial evidence to support the opposite. On the contrary to this point, some people say that society would function perfectly without laws because most people appear to be honorable.

Good and evil are determined by society and one’s value of what is right and wrong. Everything good or bad that comes in our life is because of who we

Therefore evil cannot live in the hearts of people." (Bates, C. 1986.) Applying this quote to whether humans are inherently good or evil, it is proven that it is impossible that a person is naturally evil. The evil actions that a person would perform would be a result of ignorance of their environment or of values of their

Ever wondered what makes a person become evil is he born or destined to be evil, or can the people or the community around them just influence them to be evil? People and their surroundings influence evil on them. In inadequate parts of town people are influenced into evil societies such as gangs despite laws and other countermeasures. Some also act good or heroic by free will. When People decide to act based on those who influence them, however, they may choose to make decisions through free will.

Could someone be born evil? This question may sound inaccurate but could it happen? Our body produces a gene called monoamine oxidase (MAOA) when we produce low amounts of it, it could result in antisocial and violent behavior but this won't make us evil what could become disastrous is if we mixed low amounts of this gene with the wrong environment and how we were raised. It has been found that psychopaths produce low amounts of this gene mixed with their lives upbringing. This may have been what caused Bob Ewell to be an abusive and evil man. He most likely produced low amounts of this gene with the unsanitary conditions he lived in. Even if this could be the case it seems very unlikely.

We are not born evil. A newborn baby is not able to cause much harm. Parents consider a baby to be good when he or she is quiet and easy to take care of. However, a bad baby is one that is difficult to take care of, too loud, or requires too much attention. Babies are not inherently evil; they just do not know any

What makes a person good or evil? Why are some people labeled as good and some evil? Why do some people have traits or characteristics of both good and evil? Are people truly evil or do they just make bad choices? Throughout our lives we are faced with making decisions about our lives and often the choices we make can determine the path we follow. Depending on our life choices we can be labeled as either good or evil. Good and evil are relative; one person can be good while another evil. Some people can possess a combination of both good and bad traits. But even those who are considered bad can be rehabilitated to display good qualities such as empathy or kindness.
