293 Words1 Page

People are evil at heart because they choose to kill innocent people and attack other people with different beliefs. Many times in history, there is evidence of the horrible acts that people have committed and killed innocent people. For example, the horrendous terrorist attack of 9/11. This appalling terrorist attack happened on September 11, 2001, and killed over 2,900 victims. Consequently, it destroyed the remarkable twin towers with the two coordinated attacks. Hijackers took control of two airplanes, both with many passengers, and flew them into different floors of both the towers. These hijackers knew that these fierce attacks would murder thousands of citizens, yet they still chose to go through with them. Not only did they target

    There are two kinds of evil, moral and natural. Moral evil is things like murder, rape, stealing, terrorism, etc. Natural evil is things like suffering and unpleasantness typically as a result of moral evil. Evil is that which has no power of its own. Evil is darkness, a negation of light. Its power is in us, in our fear of it, in that we consider it a "something" worth responding to.

    War is not a cheap man’s game. At the core of every nation sits an economy comprised of varying wealth and resources. A nation’s prosperity is dependent on its economic fortitude.

    Chapman and Harris then continue to argue that this irrational reaction was caused by the number of deaths that were seen. They argue that there are more deaths due to fatal car accidents and they go on to mention the 2001 earthquake that took place in Gujarat, India that killed nearly 20,000 people (Chapman & Harris, para. 2). We tend to see deaths closer to us as more tragic but forget that there are more people dying across the globe. This argument is valid, however, not to say that 9/11 was not tragic. They continue to present valid arguments and with that also accusing the practice of malice. Malice, according to Chapman and Harris, is th...

    For example, Ted Bundy and terrorists like Oklahoma City bomber, Timothy McVeigh who have committed serious crimes. Furthermore, during the first decade of the 21st century there were 26 percent more executions in the U.S. than in the 20th century. For instance, during the same time period, the U.S. murder rate decreased by 24 percent (Marquis, 22). However, how would you know if someone was innocent or not? What if they had been framed by the actual killer? That’s why it would take a long and complex process to find out whether that person had not committed such crime. Therefore, innocent people could be put to death for doing no such crimes.

  • Iago: Suffering Through Evil

    1480 Words  | 3 Pages

    What is it that makes a person evil? Is it their actions, their words, or their thoughts? Is it more acceptable if “the end justifies the means”? Telling a lie that doesn’t have a negative effect on anyone, and that saves someone grief, is considered good. So why is killing someone to save others considered bad? The morality of an action is based solely on the outcome. Thus, doing anything whatsoever that is required to get the desired result, regardless of the methods used, would be considered “ok” if the result was of a good nature. Human nature is hardwired in us through the brain. So, human nature, being good or evil, is hardwired in us as well. It is our choice whether or not to act on these thoughts of sinful nature. For Iago, he not only thinks about crude things he also acts upon those thoughts. The actions of a military warrior, executed in normal society, show the “ethical blindness” of a man with no filter of morality ().

    There are many different points of view about human behaviors. Through specific characters mentioned in Fahrenheit 451, “A Very Old Man Enormous Wings”, and “The Lottery”, individual attitudes are exaggerated to the point that their evil motivations behind their behaviors are obvious. Everyday humans attempt to attach the connotation of good to humanity, but it’s just because humans want to look past the fact that we are realistically not good. It is very difficult for us to reflect on our own behaviors. Even though people try to avoid admitting it, we always try to be the best in whatever we do. We naturally make our own survivals the best we can make it. Harming others knowingly and enjoying it is a hallmark of being evil. Good is not only

I was only two when September 11th happened, and I have grown up in the society that was shaped by September 11th. The American society has completely changed because of the events on September 11th. Since the September 11th attacks, the US has grown and created new intelligence offices, redefined what it means to fly, and has been involved in many different ongoing wars. This new America that we live in is like something out of the book, 1984 by George Orwell, where everyone is constantly being observed by the imaginary “Big

    The answer to the question "why people do evil things when they know these things are evil" is ultimately dependent on perspective. So if you are wondering whether "the ends justify the means" is a sufficient answer to that question, I would argue that it depends on who you ask and the context in which you ask that person. To the people who strongly believe in the end goal, this would be considered a sufficient response because it makes them feel a little better about the evil they are doing. However, to the people who don't support the goal, this would considered an insufficient response because the means is all that those people see. Perhaps a couple of hypotheticals could help explain this.
