Evil People

Is the nature of humankind basically good or evil?-Define evil-Are evil people made or born?

Evil is something bad that people tend to do or think to cause harm. I don’t think people are just born evil. A child doesn’t just know something is bad when they do it. They are taught what is right and wrong, and each person decides on which path the want to take. We all have different ideas or worldviews. Some people like to do things because they know the shouldn’t, others just want to have fun and let nothing get in the way, and some want to help or do their best to be good or almost perfect. The way you choose is usually how you’re brought up as a child and what influences you. An example would be, someone who is raised in a bad home with an abusive father may grow up to be just like him because its what they see and don’t know any other way to behave. Or they may choose to grow up as a gentleman because what they saw happening they did not like at all, but it's rare to navigate away from what you’ve seen you’re whole life growing up.
