Assignment 3 - Jacquelyn

I don’t believe there is an absolute good and evil. Our choices may portray our moral standards and beliefs, but that’s not always the case. Our choices can be affected by anything from the weather, laws, bad timing, another person’s decision, etc.; I believe it just depends on the situation, and this can be difficult to distinguish whether someone is “good” or “evil”. For example, if a woman is being attacked and raped and then kills her persecutor, is she considered “evil” now or is she still “good” because she only killed him out of self defense? What considers this woman to be “evil” would be that she committed a crime. Another situation that’s less extreme would be someone opting to eat fast food every day. It’s not the best decision, but does that make them “evil”? There’s no law against eating fast food every day. There are many factors that go into someone being “good” or “evil”. I think being “good” is making a choice that has more positive outcomes and vice versa, and I think these are just terms to describe someone’s choices. Honestly, it’s healthy to have both “good” and “evil”. They balance each other out and help keep things busy.
