Assignment 3-Sara Ueland

The concept of good and evil is subject to one’s opinion. The basis of what is right and wrong comes from religion or natural law. Every religion shares common moral principles including: honesty, integrity, fidelity, generosity, justice, and tolerance. Someone that contains these character ethics would be an example of the “good.”
There is no fine line that says something is right or wrong so it is up to interpretation. These moral principles act as standards for what is right but do not tell us when we have crossed this line.
People are not put on this earth to be strictly good or evil. One’s experiences and childhood shapes their personality and beliefs. Growing up in a troubled or rough environment impacts your moral standards and personality. Another factor is your parents. Their ideals and actions are reflected upon you and shape you as a person as well.
In conclusion, we are not predestined to be either good or evil but influenced by our family and the people we surround ourselves with.
