Evillll!!! (Que dramatic music)
Evil is a very creepy and dark word. But how does one define evil? Is giving a 60 problem math assignment on the Friday before homecoming weekend evil? Is someone who never eats the end pieces of bread and leaves them for you evil? Is the guy at parties who always takes all the M&Ms out of the trail mix evil? In our society evil is a common word, however there are things in reality that are evil, terrorists, murderers, dictators. How we define evil soley depends on our moral views. 1930s Germany, Hitler thought he was doing the world good, we viewed it as evil, his staff and him would have disagreed. Someone who hunts animals like deer and birds may be seen as evil by animal rights activists, however by fellow hunters he is seen as a good person for keeping the population at a Good level. Evil cannot be defined by one person, it all depends on the psycologoical and moral stand points of each individual person. We as humans hold our race to certain standards, and those who break or separate from them are often viewed as radicals or evil people (In most cases they are) like Ghaddafi or Mubarak or Kim Jong Ill. Evil is what we view as morally wrong, and those who we think are out of line we view as evil, weather it is Hitler or that guy taking the M&Ms out of the trail mix
