    <>Human nature, good and evil" refers to the relationship between people within society.

    First of all, it is clear that "human nature is inherently good" is "the relationship between people", and people and wolves, people and mosquitoes cannot talk about the issue of good and evil, otherwise it is a paradox, for example, people treat mosquitoes well, they will hurt their friends and other people around them, which cannot be called "good". "Goodness" is to stand in one's own perspective to protect the interests of the same kind or the whole of the same kind.

    Second, it is clear that "human nature is inherently good" refers to the relationship between people within society. There should be controversy between people in different countries or societies on this issue. For example, when two countries are at war, it is very dangerous for the people of these two countries to come into contact with each other, and when the national level is a state of relatively friendly exchanges, the exchanges between the people will be relatively safer, because at this time, we cannot directly consider the relationship between people, but will be constrained by the interests of different countries, and there is also a possibility that there will be a paradox, treat the people of their hostile countries well, and there is a greater risk of causing harm to their own countries, thereby hurting the people of their own countries and even hurting themselves.

    Therefore, the inherent goodness of human nature that I am talking about here applies to a society (country), and it must be controversial to talk about the inherent goodness of human nature between societies (countries).

    The following focuses on human intelligence to explain the inherent goodness of human nature, and human intelligence is the premise of human nature.

    Human instinct. People have an instinct to avoid harm and strive for excellence.

    Human nature refers to the nature of human beings, and human nature is an extremely stable instinct in a person's life, which cannot be violated, and once people violate this instinct, it is a serious injury to themselves. Human nature is good, because people will always avoid harm, and when people hurt others, they are easy to hurt themselves.

    In the face of multiple choices, you will choose the best choice for yourself, people will always pursue excellence, this pursuit, stop at the best, because people will instinctively avoid harm, so trying to reduce the harm between people must be the pursuit of people, this is the logic of human nature.

    I think it's human nature. Since childhood, I have memorized the three-character scripture and said that at the beginning of people, nature is good, which is very correct. People are born very simple and kind, without any impurities, just like a blank piece of paper, but it is all kinds of fumigation that make him different and complicated.

    Although Lao Tzu said that human nature is inherently evil due to the selfish nature of human beings, it is also a kind of kindness to oneself. We all know that children are very kind and innocent. They are the best proof of the inherent goodness of human nature.

    No ambition, no scheming, just simply like their own world. Human nature is kind, which is reflected in our society, because of kindness, in the face of a sudden car accident, the teacher pushed the student away and dedicated himself; Because of kindness, in the face of the girl who fell from a height, Wu Juping stretched out her arms and saved a life. There are countless such stories, which convey the goodness of human nature and convey positive energy.

    But there are also people who experience the pressure of life brought by society, and all kinds of unhappiness and frustration make him hate the world, make him become selfish and self-reliant, and make him change his original kindness. But I believe that if we can care more about the people around us, give them some help in time when they encounter setbacks, let them feel their care and feel the warmth of society, he will never give up hope in life.

    In short, I think that human nature is inherently good, but under the influence of the environment, people in different circumstances and different environments have different personalities, some people are kind and some people are hateful, some people can still maintain the original intention of kindness and make great contributions to society, and some people have embarked on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes, and can only spend their lives in the cage of repentance. Human nature is good, don't let the environment change you.

    I believe that people are inherently good, because the environment and things happen that make people become evil.

    In my opinion, human beings are inherently good, but in fact, they are born good, not evil, but because of the circumstances and events, people have changed and turned people into evil people.

    I believe that human nature is inherently good.

    Human beings are born as a blank slate, not knowing good and evil, and then through the living environment, society and other factors, to change, some people insist on good, some people prefer evil.

    Therefore, no one is born evil.

    Answer: Human nature is evil, if human nature is good, there will not be so many people who suffer and suffer, as long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world! However, the fact is that human beings choose evil, and for the sake of profit, they can destroy human nature and kill too many innocent people.

    Human nature is inherently good or human inherently evil is a wrong concept, human nature is a blank slate, whether it is good or evil depends on the acquired environment and the influence of education.

    Whether it is vivid characters or examples in literary works, or living characters and examples that can be seen everywhere in real life, this point of view can be illustrated, that is, the idea that human nature is inherently good or inherently evil is extremely wrong. To put it bluntly, human nature is actually a blank slate, and whether a person is good or evil depends on the influence of the acquired environment and education. Whether it is a person who is a great traitor or a person of noble and great character, he is born with a blank sheet of paper and does not have any concept of good and evil.

    This truth is very simple, who has ever seen a baby born to know right and wrong, good and evil? But when this baby grows up, there are infinite possibilities, it is possible to become very vicious and cruel, and it is possible to become very kind and kind. The most fundamental determinant of which direction he will change is the environment in which he grew up and the influence of his education.

    If a baby is raised in the home and environment of a militant, he is likely to become a militant like Hitler in the future; If he is allowed to grow up in a peace-loving family and environment, he is likely to become another peace-loving person in the future.

    Personally, I feel that human nature is inherently good, but then again, good and evil are all in an instant, but everyone is born without a single mind, they are all very kind, they have experienced a lot of things, and they have not figured it out, so there will be some evil thoughts, but human nature is still kind.

    I think human nature is inherently evil, because if there is no evil in the bones, there will be no crime, there will be no bad way of doing things, there are many evils because they have it, so they are practiced, and in the end, everything is taken for granted, it doesn't matter. There is no guilt.

    "At the beginning of man", there is no such thing as good or evil in human nature. When people leave their mothers and come to this world, they are the inheritance of life, and there is no meaning of good or evil. There is only one purpose for joining a family and entering society, that is, survival, and there is no good or evil in survival itself.

    Man is an omnivore, and his food source is much more abundant than that of other animals, which is also inseparable from good and evil. Cows and horses eat grass, tigers and wolves eat meat, can you say that it is good to wag their tails and eat grass? Can you say that you are evil in tearing flesh with your mouth wide open?

    It's all about living. Therefore, there is no basis for saying that "human nature is inherently good" and "human nature is inherently evil", let alone relatively absolute. The theory of good and evil can only refer to people's acquired language and behavior, which has nothing to do with the "beginning of man".

    The good and evil of a person is determined by the nature of the event. Those who do evil things are wicked, and those who do good things are good people, and good and evil are not immutable. Therefore, good and evil have little to do with the "beginning of man".

    At the beginning of man, "at the beginning of man, nature is inherently good" and "at the beginning of man, nature is inherently evil", from the mouths of many celebrities at home and abroad in ancient and modern times, and even fought for red-facedness. If this is a philosophical proposition, who can tell us that the child is a wicked person? That kid is a good guy again?

    Even if you can point it right, it is based on the events of the day after tomorrow. We ignore the simple fact that it is the events that prove the character, not the people who determine the quality of the events. Where did "at the beginning of man, nature is inherently good" and "at the beginning of man, nature is inherently evil"?

    People are all a blank sheet of paper at the beginning, and they are all kind, so human nature is naturally good.

    Human nature should include two aspects: the particularity of human consciousness and the universality of human beings as a material being. From the perspective of the particularity of human consciousness, human nature is evil; From the perspective that human consciousness exists on the basis of matter, human nature is good. The existence of human beings is the result of the unity of the "privateness" expressed by the particularity of human consciousness and the "publicness" expressed by the universality of human beings as a material existence.

    "Private" and "public" are opposites, but "private" can never exist apart from "public", and must be built on the basis of "public". In human society, "private" is a manifestation of "evil", and "public" is a manifestation of "good". Therefore, "good and evil" are opposites, but "evil" can never exist independently of "good".

    As mentioned above, no matter how "evil" a person is, he has a "good" side, but his "private nature" is seriously detached from his "public nature", and the form of "evil" is too prominent; On the contrary, no matter how "good" a person is, as long as the person still exists, he will definitely show his "evil" side, but his "evil" is imprisoned by "good", and the manifestation of "good" is too prominent.

    People are inherently good, in fact, people are kind when they are born, no matter who they are, whether they are foreign or in their own country, kindness begins to appear from a young child. It's just that later due to a lot of uncertain things that made this person evil, evil is all influenced, and there is evil lurking in the depths of human nature, selfishness is a kind of evil, everyone is selfish, and they will do something for their own purposes, all hoping to make themselves better, to make themselves better than others, and to look down on those who are from the same background but live better than themselves.

    People's evil is stimulated, as far as the book "Water Margin" is concerned, everyone in it is worth getting along, in our opinion, they are all heroes, but everyone is forced, the government is persecuted, the reality of helpless persecution, so that these people have to go to Liangshan and fall into the grass, only this approach can give themselves a certain place to settle, the justice of the government representatives, the freedom and justice of the heroes representatives, in fact, everyone has their own suffering, from another angle, the approach is the same, good and evil are all want to appear, As a higher animal, at the top of the food chain, do you think people are evil? They kill small animals, eat pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, fish, etc., and put these living beings.

    I think human nature is inherently good, because we are born, all this kind of character and some other cognitions have not been established, we are in the process of gradual growth to learn good and evil, good and bad, and gradually adapt to the various rules of this society, so that some of us may go astray, so at the time of birth, we are all a blank slate, in the future of their own development, what grows up is some of the essential conditions for us to finally determine good and evil.

    Human nature is inherently good, but human beings have encountered different things and experienced different circumstances in their life experience, which will lead to different ways for people to deal with good and evil.

    This is a classic debate topic. This issue was discussed back in '95 at the International Collegiate Debate. Human nature should be inherently evil, and if it is not inherently evil, it will not be able to adapt to the natural harsh weather and living environment when human beings are born, and there are still great animal attributes at that time.

    But with the development of humanity. With the abundance of material conditions, human beings can be more standardized, and they have gradually transformed into goodness.

    Mencius's Theory of Human Nature and the Lines of Thought of Its Argument 1Discuss nature with the original heart, and argue that everyone has a good nature with the four ends. Mencius said:

    Everyone has a heart that can't bear to be human. ......Therefore, it is said that everyone has a heart that cannot bear others, and when people see that their children will enter the well at first glance, they all have a heart of compassion, not so that they are handed over to the parents of their children, not so they want to be honored by their friends in the township party, and they are not evil. 2.

    Argument that human nature is inherently good is that its feelings can be good, and it is not that goodness is ready-made. At the same time, it is pointed out that the cause of evil is nurture, and the reason for not being able to do the best is possible. Mencius said:

    If it is emotional, it can be good, and it is the so-called good. If the husband is not good, he is also guilty of being untalented. Everyone has compassion; Everyone has a heart of shame; Respectful heart is shared by everyone; Everyone has the heart of right and wrong.

    3.Reasoning from the commonality of human beings points out that reason and righteousness are the same as those of the heart. Human nature is inherently good because people have a natural tendency to be reasonable.

I think that people are born without self-consciousness, from a natural point of view, there is no good and evil in human nature, because the word good and evil is the product of consciousness, when children begin to have memories at the age of two to four, from the perspective of social cognition, the lack of cognitive innocence can be said to be good, and the lack of constraints can also be said to be evil (such as mutilating ants for fun), good and evil are not absolute, everything is complex and two-sided.

There is no good or evil in human nature!

Good and evil are originally a kind of consciousness in people's subjective world, and they cannot actually represent whether a person is good or evil, and there is no absolute coordinate for judging good and evil in the world.
