Persuasive Paper “The universe is a good creation of God, and sees no evil in it. It is a cosmos-an orderly harmonious system. However, there are indications that he sees the universe in its infancy, complete in every form but growing to perfection and immortally. In the lord of the flies by William Golding, the beast in the boys on the island was their alter ego which is in everyone. I think mankind is essentially good because everyone is born good not evil. Then at the same time we have that alter ego that lures us into the bad. But as you can see I will have willing proof on how mankind is good not bad. I am writing this persuasive paper not because it is a grade but to show you that mankind is essentially good. First mankind is good because we are social human beings but what makes it seem like we are bad is that us human being have different beliefs. But we like to treat the people that are different from us like for an example people with disease’s or mental illnesses badly that one reason what, makes us look bad but we are all good. But we humans aren’t born with feelings or emotions or desire. But basically we are looking for positive things for people to say to us and that’s one thing that lures people to doing bad. And I belief that we want to do good not because we want to but because we need to and that’s what makes us

    In Lord of the Flies, William Golding writes about people being essentially bad, and in history Adolph Hitler shows a persons true evil. First off, the boys on the island used their hands and teeth to tear Simon apart. Secondly, the only boy on the island who killed someone, Roger, killed Piggy in cold blood. Finally, Hitler killed two-thirds of the Jewish population. All of these examples show that humans are essentially…

    This all leads to a person thinking that we are born this way, no matter how much we try there is evil within us.It is understandable why people believe this way because when you see all of this happen it makes you think of these thoughts and all this darkness leads to the that idea of human beings are inherently evil. Additionally, while people read the book Lord of the Flies their idea of nature affecting us to be this way may strengthen. As it stated in the Lord of the Flies “Jack began to clean his bloody hands on the rock ”(Golding,120). This shows why people believe that humans are evil, this twelve year old just killed something with his own hands and he has no guilt about doing this action. Though people are right that humans are evil it is not true that we were born this way, people turn this way, they are formed into this way. Humans are like liquids whatever container you put them in, they shape according to them. This is the same…

    As Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung once said, “As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of a mere being.” In other words, man’s purpose in life is to help one another find the good in a world of malevolence. In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, it becomes apparent to the reader the contrast in shades between the good and the bad. Each person here on Earth has two parts of his or her being: light and dark. It is the side people choose which defines them. Take for example Ronald Reagan. He could have easily continued with his successful career as a movie star. But instead, he chose to move into the realm of politics, where greed and corruption rule. His mission? To be the voice for those who have none, and to fight for the common good of our nation. The world would be perfect if everyone chose the light side. But like a classic movie, if there is a ‘good guy’, there must also be a ‘bad guy’. And so a divide is created. Humanity must speak up for what is right and moral, see the goodness in everything, and to realize that each small random act of kindness is equal to many unkind acts. Therefore, one must agree that human nature is essentially good.…

    Growing up in the country is like a fresh breath of air, you need it but once you've taken it in your life gets infinity better. Like air, everyone needs family, someone to take care of or even to take care of you. There is no place to do that better than the country, there you can have both. I've had personal experience with growing up in the country and it is because of growing up where I did that made me the person I am today. Growing up in the country I always had my family not matter what, making those connections made it easy to stay connected to my family even now when we all don't live so close. I am one out of eight children also one of the oldest which meant I had to help with the younger siblings. I didn't mind, doing it actually helped me gain a great relationship with each of my siblings. Living out in the country not only gave me a chance to be with my brothers and sisters, but also my mother and father. I remember helping my father with the animals; horses, cows, chickens, you name it we had it.…

    According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, the word ‘good is defined as “Of a favorable character or tendency,” and the word evil is defined as, “morally reprehensible.” Philosophers and Psychologist have debated on the topic of humans being good or evil for centuries and our society is still unsure of what to believe. Humans do not like to think of themselves as pure evil, but they also do not consider themselves all good either. Although some may claim humans are inherently good , the truth is humankind is inherently evil because of selfishness, and revenge.…

    Are humans inherently good? It is a question many people are puzzled about, and many do not know the answer too. The fact that humans may be born good and slowly turn evil because how corrupt society is, or that they have been born bad and been put in order from lessons and rules in life is completely unknown. It is such a complicated question that there has been no solid proof to whether humans are good or evil. Many studies support that we are all inherently good to begin and those who are evil only do so because they have been created by their own experiences in society or the background they have come from. All men are inherently good to begin with and those who become "evil" have been created by their own life experiences and personal background.…

    I did not look forward to coming to this class at all. I hated writing. I absolutely hated it. All I knew about writing was the classic paper with an introduction, body paragraphs with two commentaries after every one concrete detail, and you better not forget to re-state everything you have already said in the paper, that has already bored you to death, in the conclusion paragraph. I have always been the type of writer who throws together a paper that might not completely make sense and hoped for a B. I know this is not the best thing to do, it is not good at all honestly, but could anyone actually enjoy writing about if a man is morally good after his whole town accused him of having an inappropriate relationship with a young girl? I never…

    Have you ever wondered why your parents teach you manners? Or why they punish your for hitting your sister or biting your brother? Humans must be taught to be good because we are born inherently evil. The definition of evil is being somewhat wicked and immoral. The definition of good is being morally right and having integrity. Now, some people may say that this is a horrible thing to say, but if you think about it, how do all these bad things happen if people aren’t truly bad? Why do we have crime, rape, domestic violence, war, and murder? Not all people do these things and most people believe these are wrong, but there are people who still do it anyway. Humans can be good, if they try; however, humans are born inherently evil.…
