Nietzsche Good And Evil Good

When it comes to defining morality and establishing the difference between right and wrong, there are several different approaches. One might ask who is responsible for distinguishing between right and wrong and ultimately what is moral and immoral. Is this concept different between individuals? Is it different between cultures? In Julia Driver’s 2007 piece, “God and Human Nature”, theories are discussed in order to convey a better understanding of morality and how it is determined. The theory to be discussed is the “Divine Command Theory” and Driver discusses the role of God in assessing morality.

From the beginning of Canto 1 “Inferno”, Dante illustrates his fears by relating it to his perception of good and evil as he has learned from his catholic background. In line 3-6, quote “for I had wondered off from the straight path. How hard it is to tell what it was like…... (the thought of it brings back all my old fears).” (ALIGHIERI) (CANTO 1Ln.3-6) From this quote, the writer instantly introduces his Christian’s believes. By moving away from what the church expects of him, yet his “old fears” as he recalls them, can also be identified with his exile from Florence, the city of his birth. Furthermore, from the separation of his wife and four children who remained in Florence, as consequence for Dante’s political separatist believes from

Many people ask are people evil or are people behaviors evil? I believe that it could go both ways that people are evil, and their behaviors are evil.

Where does evil come from? Are we born with it? Or as the years go by do people change and become evil? The thought of people being born evil, though an interesting topic to discuss, is absurd. Everyone is born innocent and good. However, as some people get older they develop an evil side. For some this evil side will dominate the good with which they were born. An individual’s environment and experiences can change a person as time progresses. A once good person can become evil when they are put into negative situations. This has been supported through many scientific studies and has also been seen in classic literature. Despite circumstances, each individual has to make the decision whether they are going to remain good or become evil.

The setting of the movie in a classic suburban community around the 1950’s. The community aims for perfection in a way, that nothing odd is okay. That is why the mansion, where Edward Scissorhands has got residence, is a spot of dirt of the picture of perfection the community is trying to show. The color scheme makes the good versus evil theme very clear in the movie, in the way there is a clear contrast between good and evil. For example, the ‘good’ of the movie is shown, when we see the colors of the characters and the surrounding area. Another example is the dark colors of Edward Scissorhands’ residence and himself in general; a dark and gloomy look, which resembles sadness, death and depression. All characteristics we can relate to Edward Scissorhands and his backstory in general. The community works around the comfort of conformity; that means, that matching beliefs and values is the key to acceptance to town, where ‘Edward Scissorhands’ take place.

In all history textbooks, you can always find a leader that has accomplished many feats, but how have they done that? Do you really think the way they accomplished their goals were “good”, or civil and just? In reality, the answer is most likely, “No”. Although their accomplishments have changed the world in many different ways, they almost always implicate the evils in men. Unfortunately, all humans have that aspect in them; a primal, savage instinct that drives them to complete their desires, often with the use of violence. Yet, all humans also have the aspect of “good” in them. This includes the peaceful, civilized, logical, and reasonable society that many people live in today. In the novel, Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, the

We all like to think that evil is not born within us, but rather nurtured into us; while this may be true for some, others have evil born directly into them. When man toys with the powers reserved for only God, God strikes back with a wicked evil to show man the power that they truly lack. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein contains a prime example of a being born of unnatural causes and thus having these evil urges that they cannot control.

Goodness and evilness coexists within us all. Lord of the Flies, a classic novel by William Golding, discusses a group of boys - Ralph, Jack, Piggy, and Simon - who are stranded at an island without any resources and have to survive on their own abilities by maintaining stability and conquering their fears. In the novel, Lord of the Flies Golding uses the paint, spear, conch, and the fire as symbols to demonstrate that within every society, social order and rules along with conscience and logic, are factors that constrain and limit the evil urges that exists inside everyone.

Neither. Or both. Man created the qualities good and evil. To some people an action or event might seem good, to others the same could seem evil. Therefore, good and evil are subjective qualities that everybody defines differently. The official definition of “good” is morally right. Consequently, everyone has a different set of morals that can change the definition of good. Man’s behaviors can sometimes be considered good, other times be considered evil, but man evolved behaviors that increase our chances of survival and reproduction, whether they be typically good or bad.

People can be defined as neither good nor evil because many factors lead to us being a mixture of both. One of these factors is that we only have one perspective of life and the actions they do. This means we don 't have all the information to be able to form an opinion on them. Another factor is that we are unable to measure how good or bad an action is. This means that we can not say if the good actions they did outweigh the bad actions that they did in their life. These factors mean that we are unable to judge people and say whether they are good or bad.

“We all have good and evil inside us.It's what side we choose to follow that defines who we are”-J.K. Rowling

In Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, he outlines the different scenarios in which one is responsible for her actions.  There is, however, a possible objection which raises the possibility that nobody is responsible for their actions.  Are we responsible for some of our actions after all?  If so, under what circumstances?  Based on an evaluation of Aristotle’s arguments and the objection that stands against it, people are responsible for voluntary actions and involuntary actions whose circumstances or particulars they themselves have caused.

“The line between good and evil is permeable and almost anyone can be induced to cross it when pressured by situational forces.” (Phillip Zombardo) William Golding, the author of a well known book, “Lord of the Flies”, beliefs what Phillip Zombardo said about good and evil.

Moreover, not only Gobs but also Freud think like that because both suggest that people have selfish motivations for surviving in the society and they does not have any positive or altruistic sides. For example, you believed that people are basically good, it means that poverty or some other forces can cause people to commit violent crime, because it is only reason why people can make crime despite to their initially good nature. In addition, Sigmund Freud states that in civilized society people use violence only on criminals, and the point is that there is no law which can prosecute people who hide their domestic evil. Finally, the biggest argued that evil nature of humans was argued in several different experiment.one of the experiment was happened in the Stanford. Participants were divided into two groups such as: three prisoners and three guards. The experiment mainly focused on the participants appearance, for example prisoners were dressed into prison clothes for feeling more demeaned and humiliated, however at the same time guards were dressed into like real guards with sunglasses for appearing more detached and less humane. The results were terrifying because the guards took the matter seriously and sometimes harassed the prisoners with the help pf physical punishment, or even

Morality has long been used by human being as a basis for their actions. Believers of God think that doing good deeds is being moral and thus these actions will save them from their sins. They believe that following God’s will, that is the 10 commandments and in the new commandments stated in the New Testament is the written and visible basis for these actions found in the Holy Bible. .
