LOFT Disscusion Questions

Are People born evil or does the environment that they are brought up in consume their innocence? For years the behaviour of humans have been watched by philosophers to answer the big question, 'are humans born evil?' Many people have their own answers to this question, some go to religion to seek an answer and some look a pon the events that have occured in their life or someone that they knows life. I have concluded that I disagree with William Golding's look on the human nature being evil at birth. I agree that there are many disgusting humans that walk on our Earth, but they were not born evil. When an infant breathed their first breath, they are pure and innocent. They crave the love of their mother and they haven't yet been exploited to the darkness of our society. A human becomes evil because of situations that they are put in, expectations of love and hapiness that have not been met, and heartbreak. These things create a darkness in ones soul and can sometimes lead them in a place so dark that they completely change. One can completely change from an innocent soul to a savage. The power we hold as humans is so immense that sometimes we don't realize that we're even chsnging, in a blur one can change into a monster because of one little incident. I guess in a way that makes humans powerless, we are powerless of the actions and events that can contort us into the monsters we'd never think we could become. I don't agree with the statement will go along with any type of activity, no matter how violent, when pressured by peers" If you are conscious of your actions, your beliefs and morals will overpower the pressure of whatever wrong acts your peers are asking you to commit. We live in a world where innocence is shattered, it's our job as a community to have proper equipped resources for people to go if they feel that they are becoming something that they wish not to be.
