First day of Sociology!
I was very excited to be taking Sociology my senior year, because I wanted to know why people and I did the things we did. Also, why certain things influenced people in the ways they do. One question that I have heard several times within the last couple days is, "are people naturally good or evil"? This question puzzles me a lot. One response I have to the question is that whether people are naturally good or evil they are naturally selfish. I believe this is true until one may reach motherhood. I believe people will do things for themselves so that they will reach there end goal, what ever that it, and then worry about the "little people".

Good or evil as individuals is an interesting question and one that I honestly still wrestle with as much today as when I was in HS....now we can see that people behave in ways that society defines as good and evil a lot more based on different factors influencing them. Which can bring us back to that first question...if societal factors influence the # of evil or good behaviors then are we really ever good or evil????
ReplyDeleteI think that people are naturally good at heart. it is how they are raised or their surrounding that mold them into who they are and what they have become, whether they come off as good or evil. I think your good though Leah :)
