Are People Good Or Bad Essay

794 Words4 Pages

Are people more good than bad? I believe more good than bad people exist in the world. All people do is emphasize the bad things that happen in the world. Mostly all people see on the news are the bad things that are happening . Because of the personal experience, current events and, observations J. Gould is correct in his claim that most people in today 's society are good. Personal experience is one reason I agree with Gould 's claim. In my personal time I have experienced people doing good deeds, for example, when me and, my family went on vacation to the beach for a week during the Summer.

Some of the things I observe are the kids at my school always helping each other and, making sure that they are happy and, not sad. For example, when I forget or run out of supplies I always can count on someone at my school to help me out. I know I should always come prepared but, having friends to rely on shows that they care about you. Next, I observe the people at my church that always help people for nothing in return. They are always willing to help people. For example, when a woman at my church got cancer they raised all the money to pay for her doctor 's bills. Lastly , just neighbors in your neighborhood that watch out for you, or just do neighborly things. For example, one time my neighbors lawn mower broke and, I saw that he was trying to cut his grass with scissors so, I decided to use my lawn mower to cut his grass. Doing kind deeds doesn 't just affect you it affects the people around you in the way they feel about people in the world. These are the personal experiences, current events, and, observations that agree with Gould’s claim that more good people exist than bad. It shows how much people will do for each other just out of the love in their

    Tolkien shows that in the human race, each individual determines his or her goodness. Bard, for instance, is a hero and a kind man, though grim. But the old Master of Laketown is greedy and manipulative in an almost pitiful way—he dies out in the desert, clutching gold stolen from the town. Humans seem to be more often good than bad but mostly somewhere in the middle. The elves are the truly good race, and the goblins the truly evil one.

    Juan Luis Vives, a Spanish humanist, demonstrates a perfect example of an individual who has faith in humanity and believes that we as a whole can do better. Juan believes that no one knows what the ideas of a the poor are or under what circumstances they are living, but people don’t help because,”others withdraw because their good intention is embarrassed by the great number” (Doc 1). Since Luis was a Humanist and he wrote this in a book, he must have meant it and wanted to spread the word to others that it is not a sin to help the poor. Another person who witnessed the poor would have to be Rembrandt van Rijn, in his painting Beggars Receiving Alms at the Door (Doc 6).
