“Man’s nature is evil; goodness is the result of conscious activity. The nature of man is such that he is born with a fondness for profit. If he indulges this fondness, It will lead him into wrangling and strife, and all sense of courtesy and humility will disappear. He is born with feelings of envy and hate, and if he indulges theses, they will lead him into violence and crime, and all sense of loyalty and good faith will disappear.” (Tzu 84). Hsun Tzu is one of many people who believe that mans nature is evil. Tzu argues that man is full of hate. Hsun Tzu made some very good points,

Many people base their opinions about others on first impressions. We do not take the time to get to know someone and create a relationship with them. With a first impression many usually look at fashion. We judge people 's social status based on looks. At times, we apply the same idea of judging a book by its cover to other humans even without noticing. We examine their every move trying to find something different about them. Just

Tzu believes that people are all born evil and that that need to be taught how to be ethical. Like fellow Confucius philosopher Mencius, Tzu believed that no one entered the world with moral principles. Tzu said that people lacked any moral direction at birth, and would become corrupt and dangerous if not taught otherwise. At the core men where selfish creatures, with envy, and hatred if left in its natural state. The only way to stop this from happening was to educate people, putting them on a path to righteousness. Humans must choose to be good, it is not an inborn instinct so we must continue to learn to be good with practice. “(Tzu) claims that all human beings experience certain desires—primarily desires for bodily satisfaction and comfort and for social honor and position—and that we cannot reduce or eliminate these desires” (Robins). The difference between a bad person and a good person is how they are educated; they are brought into this world with no idea of morality. People cannot be forced to learn, but with help from learning everyone can become a good, moral

There are people who believe or will argue bullying is good for kids. They believe it helps children mature and be psychologically good. They believe bullying can only help children understand not everything is good in the world. According to the Daily Mail written by http://dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1280625/bullying-good-children-study-finds-fight-popular.html “A study has shown that youngsters are more popular and more admired by teachers and friends if they return schoolyard hostility in

No matter how open-minded a person may claim to be, everyone makes presumptions on first impressions or rumors. Despite seeing someone for only a split second, people make assumptions about others’ attitude, personality, and character! Usually, people tend to notice things that they feel are grounds to pass judgment upon. The quote “ You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it” by Harper Lee is a quote that truly signifies how people should perceive others. Rather than judging someone, people should place themselves in their shoes and try to understand their way of thinking

While Mencius believes that humans are inherently good, but can be corrupted by circumstance, Hsun Tzu argues that man is not inherently good at all. He rejects this view, saying that Mencius "has not really understood man's nature nor distinguished properly between the basic nature and conscious activity" (158). Hsun Tzu does admit that humans have some inherent good in them: "man possesses energy, life, intelligence…" (45). Even so, Hsun Tzu believed that any such inherent good can be lost completely, and that the evil of man can overwhelm him beyond hope: "in the case of the incorrigibly evil men, punish them without trying to reform them" (33). This means that self-improvement alone (and not nature) can save humans, as Hsun Tzu believed that all humans start with the same basic nature: "the gentleman by birth is no different from any other man" (16). Hsun Tzu again returns to his belief that for man to evolve beyond his evil nature, "learning must never cease" (15).

Through the Hsun Tzu’s opinion, he put forward the “man’s nature is evil”. In the article, he said: “Man’s nature is evil; goodness is the result of conscious activity”. It means human’s nature is bad, incomplete and weak, and we burn with the “fondness for profit”, but the issue decided the people become bad or good, it is if we follow our nature or we change it and learn to be better.

We see the same ideas in uglies. The society is willing to change their entire body in order to be “pretty” and more accepted. People are willing to go through with things like this because, we only see the good sides of it, but never the bad. All Tally ever wanted to do was to get the surgery. She saw the parties, the “happiness” ,the friendship, but never saw what it really

“Human nature is evil and goodness is caused by intentional activity” - Xunzi. Humans by nature have natural tendencies to evil however not everyone acts on those emotions.

The article Medicalization of Racial Features: Asian American Women and Cosmetic Surgery by Eugenia Kaw discusses the multiple reasons why Asian American women undergo cosmetic surgery. It mostly focuses on the so called “ethnic body modifications” such as blepharoplasty commonly called “double eyelid surgery.” The discussion is based on the findings of multiple researches and interviews that have been done in the San Francisco Bay Area. It suggests ways in which the medical world promotes such racial and gender stereotypes in order to achieve their goal and to make profit from such procedures.

Have you ever thought about how people judge others without motives or reasons? Well this quite common in today’s world. We judge people by

Also people judge them without knowing what is going on. Everything that bullies do is a cause of their mental issues. Authors, Dorothy Espelage and Melissa K. Holt mention in their articles “Journal of Emotional Abuse” how boys are more often bullied than girls.Also it talks how older students take part in bullying more often than the youger ones because they have more available resources to do that.. Younger kids do not know how to use facebook and other media that is available to them.In adition the studies from their articles prove that people that are bullies tend to hang out with other people that are bullies, and that is how bullies are geting stronger and abuse more and more innocent students,kids and even elders.

Many women will participate various forms of cosmetic and body sculpting to reach their desired appearance. Other women may even develop an eating disorder in order to lose weight. Both of these actions are extremely harmful to the human body in that they put the body under extreme stress and that they are life threatening. In Western Society, more and more young women are affected by an eating disorder or have undergone cosmetic surgery. It has been shown that “up to 20 percent of people with serious eating disorders die from the disorder” (WVFV, pg. 230). If people did not feel so obligated to reach a level of perfection in order to feel accepted by society then the numbers of how many people die from eating disorders or cosmetic surgeries would not be as high as they are today. How can we lower these numbers?

To elaborate more on Mencius’s way of life, he talks about how human beings possess four moral traits that all intertwine to make us into who we truly are. These four traits are humanity, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom. Just like how Mencius states that human nature is naturally good, these four aspects are not ”welded to us from outside. We possess them inherently” (Mencius, 6A.6). Mencius explains that all humans have these “sprouts” within them from birth that make human nature good. What is exceptional about this philosophy is that Mencius emphasizes the need for these sprouts to be tended to in order to grow correctly. In other words, no one is truly born bad. Mencius even defends this

The concept of human nature is somewhat debated in Confucianism and its followers. In the absence of a personal or supernatural god in this belief system, the question of whether someone is inherently good or evil does not have the same importance as it does otherwise. For example, Christians believe that they are created with sin and must create a certain form of relationship with their god to live a moral life. However, without such a personal god, the focus is more on human behavior than and sort of dogmatic debate. In fact, Confucius hardly ever touches on this issue but noted that "by nature men are similar; by practice men are wide apart" (Confucius, N.d.).
