Are we inherently good, bad, or moral?
Are we inherently good, bad, or moral? This is a question that has crossed the minds of many people. Depends on who you ask. If we had no structure, would we all fall and deteriorate as a collective whole? Depends on where you look. William Golding seemed to indirectly answer that question is his own way in his<b> famous </font></b>book ( 'Lord of the Flies' ). Stranded on a deserted island, unsuccessfully govern themselves, as moral decay spreads, lives are lost, and are questioned. Without structure, who are we really? Does a good upbringing automatically mean a moral person? Nope, but it may increase the likelihood. Structure does mean something. 80% of all serial killers came from challenging backgrounds to say the least. But what about the other 20%? Some have come from well to do families. Then does science factor in? Does a lack or too much production of a hormone condemn people to make the wrong decisions? My opinion is that we are neither. Any bad influence can turn anyone from a young age to someone who is at least questionable. That is not always the case, but it definitely increases certain odds. I think inherently, we are able to decipher what is wrong and right. But it's hard to make a definitive answer on a topic with more variables than a 10 page math problem. |
