Are People Naturally Good
Persuasive Speech I believe that everyone is naturally good, but the environment that we are in influences how we choose to perceive and live our lives. When Adolf Hitler was 8 years old he was an active member of his church and sang in the choir and even worked towards becoming a priest. Two years later his younger brother died from the measles and he became very depressed. Later on in his life, he was influenced strongly by anti-Semitic war propaganda and slowly became the man the world knows him to be.

We learn greed, selfishness, Gossiping, hatred, lie, and stinginess. It is impossible to be born with these qualities. There is no way to carry such genes in our blood. Human being is pure. However, society and environment contaminates us…

    How drug use and psychological problems led to the dictator we now know as Adolf Hitler. Hitler was not only disturbed by drug use and psychological problems, but he also had insane problems that would disgust anyone in their right mind. I will be exploring and explaining multiple reasons upon why Hitler was a smart, yet, at the same time an ignorant ruler. Some of the root causes come from Hitler’s childhood and how his parents treated and raised him. His early adulthood also served as a root cause, mainly because of his participation in World War 1.…
