Human Nature Essay: Evil
Everyone who has a good side, also has a very bad side. Humans are naturally evil, although people will act good, in our darkest moments we will do whatever it takes to save ourselves or get what we desperately want. We become demons.
Humans will break the rules that they’ve made. We as a species have created rules and morals for us to follow. But if we were born naturally good, we would not need rules to follow. Sometimes the rules we make for ourselves end up making us evil in the end. The rules that were supposed to be used to keep us from doing evil things, end up making people angry, sad and evil. Even the people who make the rules will become evil.
We are taught at a young age to be good. If we were born naturally innocent then there would be no need to be taught to be good. Our morals are mostly based on what we've been taught by others.
Humans are naturally selfish. We will help ourselves before we help others, we will do whatever it takes to get what we want. When trying to survive we have to help ourselves and we end up doing bad things. This is apparent in the stories of Night, Lord of the Flies and The Cold Within where some characters in all of the stories act selfish and greedy to help save themselves.
Humans are the most truthful when angry. Anger is a form of evil and we say things we might regret when we're angry, but sometimes we say things we actually mean. When we are good we try to help others and be nice and we try not to say hurtful things. When we are angry we say the truth and sometimes the truth can be ugly. We are more truthful when evil, this is another reason for why we are naturally evil.
Humans are naturally evil. We make rules to stop us from being evil. We teach each other to be good. We act selfish just to save ourselves and get what we want. We are more truthful and honest when we are angry. Humans show their true thoughts and opinions when they're evil.

Great starting paragraph to catch my attention. If you put in a little more in real life situations that would help out. Great use of vocabulary words and not repeating the same word over and over again. You finished the essay off nicely by saying what humans actually think. I really like how you put in how rules and morals are broken by us about everyday. Work on paragraphing a little but it wasnt really a problem. All in all a great essay!
ReplyDeleteNot to be mean I think your progressing. I think the story was intriguing at the intro. But with that said you repeated yourself a lot. Not exactly saying the same thing in the same words, but saying humans are evil they hurt people. I think on the intro you caught my attention but going down the essay I wasn't really feeling like the attention was being kept. When you referenced the other texts you didn't give a specific example on how they were being greedy and selfish, if you would of had an specific example I think others would understand your point a lot better. Overall your essay was okay and my personal opinion you were so close to being on point.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely gave plenty of examples to support the fact that humans are evil. Two things I want you to consider are 1. using more text evidence from the novels we have read, and 2. being sure that each sentence is complete and not a fragment. Overall this was a good foundation for future essays. Grade: 79%
