Assignment 3: Charlotte Kessinger

I believe that there is good and evil in the world due to the society we live in today but it is a word we use to describe our behavior. I think that whether a person is behaves good or evil depends entirely on their life experiences. If a child was born into a life of abuse without love, he or she may not understand what good can bring to them or others. This child may grow up to be a human who has no problem or guilt killing people or hating others.
However I think that good and evil are concepts that humans have made up in order to punish or praise people. A person can do a horrible thing, carry out a mass murder but come to realization that what they did was completely unacceptable. While he may have carried out the killing because he had a rough childhood, was desperate or a mental disorder, he can change himself. People may want to punish this man for life but what if he becomes a caring sweet human?
 It is difficult to determine what makes somebody good or evil and may depend throughout culture due to different ideas of good or evil. They are subjective terms that can vary. Being good or evil also may depend on the context. Is it wrong to murder Adolf Hitler who killed millions of Jews? It depends on what a person believes therefore good and evil are just schemas.
I think that a person is not entirely good or evil, they may behave a certain way but it does not entirely define them for forever.
