The Qualities Needed For A Foundation Of Humanity

Man was created in the image of God, but given free thought. With free thought came the thoughts and ability to sin. It does not matter what religious back ground that you come from or even if you are religious at all, it is easy to see that the world view characterization of human nature is accurate. When looking at resources or evidence that human nature has a tendency to sin all you have to do is turn on the television. The images and stories that we see on the news and through social media are not some recent events. We have been sinning since the creation of mankind, and with the world social unrest and current event mankind dies not look like they are going to stop.

Also, just apply what we do from day to day as humans. One day we will go out to eat have a lovely dinner, and though we are full, precede to a dessert that is not needed. Comes number less ominous. When that woman with a model figure dressed in BeBe walks by you grudgingly wish you were she. Hearing these inconsequential things, you would think nothing of performing them from day to day. These sins do not necessarily strike you as a good reason why we are innately born evil. Yet, according to the Bible gluttony lying, and coveting are all sins. In which every sin is weighed the same. Looking at sin this way, we begin to see how much we really do sin in a day.

I believe that human beings are basically good. When they are first born and grow up as babies and toddlers, humans are innocent. However, with the effects of outside experiences and social expectations, human beings can be prone to evil. Humans want to be recognized within society and this can be seen in the movie, “The Talented Mr. Ripley”. Due to the social environment that Tom Ripley lives in, he feels the need to fit in and be wealthy like the people around him. This causes him to seek for ways, whether the action is moral or immoral, to attain a higher social status.

life: seeing the world in relationship to oneself alone, versus viewing the world as an aggregate.

The soul is a non-material substance that somehow has a connection with one’s living body (Weisberg, January 2016). When the body dies, the connection between mind and physical being is broken (Weisberg, January 2016). After death, the body will rot away and parish. However, one’s soul, being a non-material substance, can not be destroyed, and with that, it is possible for a person, rather, a person’s soul and who they are, to live on after death (Weisberg, January

Many people have their own views on humanity. They can either be that humans are essentially good but can become corrupt or that people are just essentially evil. They have their own opinions, some people can tell their perspective on humans in other fashions. If people are essentially good, they how do they become corrupt? Or if are truly evil, then why do some people seem like they are kind people and they can never do such things? To take both of these into account, a person may saw that people are good but deep down have evil within them. People may ask how does the evil within a person come out, the answer to that is that it is thanks to their environment. The environment around a person can undoubtedly draw out the evil within them

The three most important qualities to uphold civilization are organization, a respected and powerful leader, and good role models.

I think that people do bad things because they want to follow what others do and that person don’t want to get judged and that person is probably scared to go for what’s right. Some people do bad things because they think it is alright and all cool. Then the people that are doing hateful and cruel and bad things are always trying to draw attention.

The idea of the soul varies widely in religious tradition. While these variations exist, its basic definition is unvarying. The soul can be described as the ultimate internal principle by which we think, feel, and will, and by which our bodies are animated. The soul is seen as the core principle of life or as the essence of a being 1. Views on the permanence of the soul vary throughout religious tradition as well. While some view it as a mortal entity in flux others believe the soul is an immortal and permanent unit. These interpretations vary from time period to time period and between religions. These characteristics of the soul are interpreted differently through an Eastern or

Evil exists whether moral or natural evil but moral evil is done by choice. Every soul that sins brings their own punishment upon themselves. The source of sin is not found in the body but rather in the corruption of will. “Sins are committed when, out of an immoderate liking for them, since they are the goods, we desert the best and highest goods, which are you, O Lord our God, and your truth and your law" (71). Augustine points to the disobedience of Adam as the cause for the perpetual corruption of humanity.

Evil has not only been seen on the good people. When it rains, the rain does not fall on people differently. It rains on good and evil alike. Similarly evil falls on the good and bad alike because we all live together in an imperfect world. We all are the descendants of the first parents who disobeyed God. Augustine claims that sin entered the world through pride. The pride that the devil had when he refused to bow before Adam and the prideful fascination about God that pushed Adam and Eve to succumb to the

This topic on souls is very fascinating and I had a hard time deciding which author’s view point I would agree. After reading the chapter by Rene Descartes, “Reality Consists of Mind and Matter,” I believe that our souls can be separate from our bodies. This is where afterlife takes place, and reincarnation. Being a Christian from birth our family belief is that our body is the physical being in reality today, however our souls will live on forever be it in a good manner or not so good. Our souls would reflect our physical actions in our afterlife where we would live forever.

Scripture seems to contradict itself with regard to the human body. Sometimes the body is seen as precious, for instance in 1 Cor 6:19-30, and sometimes as a hinderance to unity with Christ, 2 Cor 5:6-8. This seeming ambiguity within scripture has created distinct and conflicting schools of thought among Christian thinkers regarding the body and spirituality. Some advocate that the body is an essential part of our spirituality and should be embraced; others that the body is a hinderance to it, and should be approached with suspicion

In reality all humans are not inherently good or bad; doing something bad does not make you a bad person and vice

I believe humans are all created equally as good, but some choose to do evil things. Everyone makes mistakes, but that’s not what i mean by evil. Evil, meaning harming others or one’s self. People do evil things as a result of many things. A haunting childhood, mental problems, struggles, or even stress. It also depends on what morals people are raised with, or if they’re raised with any. Some kids are tortured by their parents as children, and turn out to be the same way or end up torturing other people. Some even become murderers due to so much anger built up from their childhood. Some people are born with mental problems and hurt people without knowing the intensity of the damage they’re doing.
