Human Nature- Powerpoint (Final Assesment)

The document explores the philosophical debate on human nature, discussing whether humans are inherently good or evil, supported by quotes from thinkers like Rousseau and Adam Smith. It highlights real-world examples, including the influence of environment on individuals, as seen in the case studies of serial killers Charles Manson and Andrei Chikatilo, ultimately suggesting that nurture plays a crucial role in shaping behavior. Additionally, it uses literary references, particularly 'Lord of the Flies', to illustrate the emergence of evil when societal constraints are removed.

INTRODUCTION For hundreds of years, going back centuries or more, countless numbers of philosophers have debated over the nature of mankind, whether humans are born evil or good. Numerous books and thinkers have argued over this topic such as the renown Lord of the Flies and the members of the Enlightenment Salon, about mankind’s nature with different concepts and interpretations. In this presentation, you’ll find quotes and analyzes of them from well know people and Lord of the Flies, and examples. Past and current news and my personal ideas on human nature will also be described in detail.
Nature Vs. Nurture Nature Nurture If we’re naturally good or If it is society that makes us evil good or evil I believe that nurture can corrupt an individual eventually. Babies aren't born evil, its only as they grow up, the environment and influence around them that effects what they do. FAMILY/ FRIENDS It depends on their family and friends too. For example, if a person had a bad family history, with their parents being murderers or gangsters, and friends who stole and made trouble, they’d most likely copy them because that’s what they’ve been seeing since a young age. CITY Also, it depends on which places they live in, like if they live in a poor part in a city and has a lot of shooting, gangsters, bullying and murders and such, then they will most likely be affected by that. If you live in a bad city it is because of the 'survival of the fittest' nature that you’d naturally become a gangster to save yourself, whereas in a good city with more police enforcement, you’d be much less likely to do the wrong things.
Mother Teresa: Brief Biography Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go. - Mother Teresa • Who is Mother Teresa? She spent all of her life helping the poor people in India, visiting and helping those who lived in slums and in poverty, giving her life to helping those who were sick and suffering. • What does she represent? Considered a saint, she represents the goodness in human nature, who willingly gave up her own needs and comfortable life to benefit and change thousands of others lives. WHY? • Founder of the Missionaries of Charity, where they opened schools, and various centers to treat the blind, the aged, lepers, the disabled, and the dying. • She also found the Nirmal Hriday (“Place for the Pure of Heart”), a caring home where the seriously ill could die with honor.
Mother Teresa: Human Nature • “When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.” - Mother Teresa • I believe that Mother Teresa has stated here, in an indirect way, of how human nature may work. • If we see a poor hungry man or woman, slowly withering away, it isn’t because they did any sin for god to punish them, in fact they could be living comfortably right now. • It is because we don’t care for them, that we’d just glance or avoid looking at them at all and just pass by. We’re much too selfish to care about their problems as we don’t get anything back from helping, we’d rather save our money for ourselves, even though they need it much more than us. • If we do help them, it would only be giving them a coin which isn’t enough to help them. Even if it’s a child, we are too selfish to take them into the warmth of our house and feed them, even if its during winter and freezing cold, with the person close to dying of coldness.
Mother Teresa your love everywhere you go.” $ • “Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread - Mother Teresa • Money isn't everything, giving money doesn’t means giving your love or caring. It doesn’t bring happiness, as those can’t be bought. EXAMPLE: If there was a beggar squatting outside your door, or shivering beside your building, the most a person would do would be giving them several coins, barely enough for them to buy a proper meal. If humans showed morality, we would at least try to help them to the best of our abilities, to find them a job or a possible way to live in better conditions.
Rousseau • In the Discourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality, he pointed out that it is natural in humans to be good • He believed that civilization corrupts humans nature and that it is not a wonderful thing as all of the people of his time had thought, but a terrible monster that would eventually destroy and claw away all of humans “born goodness” into shreds. • Rousseau explains that it is the influence by our daily lives that is affecting us and clouding our vision, growing the natural sin within us. He expresses that we, humans, aren’t born naturally evil, (because babies can’t be sinful,) but it is our surrounding environment that corrupts our thoughts and feelings. • “Man is naturally good, loving justice, and order” • It is in mankind’s nature to be good, independent and compassionate • He felt that feeling is more important than reason. Just do what you feel like, no matter the sensible reasoning for the task.
Adam Smith The Theory of Moral Sentiments (a book by Adam Smith) • “How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it except the pleasure of seeing it.” - Adam Smith quotes • Humans are complex, although we’re selfish, something within us still tugs at us, a desire to care for the welfare of others. • We wish to make other people happy, and yet we expect nothing in return, apart from the pleasure of doing it. • So humans, ARE naturally selfish, but we’re still good in away. Because we are taught from a young age either directly or indirectly about morality, we still have some willingness to help others within us.
Lord Of The Flies
Evil in Lord of the flies In William Golding’s novel, the Lord of the Flies, he constantly shows the evilness in our world. Set on an deserted island where a plane full of school boys crash, representing the miniature version of our world, this story shows us Golding’s perspective on Human nature. The Pig’s head on a stake The Pig’s head on a stake was placed in the forest as a gift to the “beast” by Jack, the Id in the story. SIN IN BOYS Simon, found out while looking at the pig head that the beast that the boys had imagined isn’t real but is the sin in human nature, of irrational fear.
The action of CRUELLY killing a living sow, a mother who was feeding her children, shows how … Jack and his hunters have cast aside their civilized selves for exchange being wild savages without mercy. The fact that they had FUN and tortured the pig to death shows how eventually a civilized and kind person can naturally turn bloody and ruthless overtime when left alone
Lord of the Flies: Quotes Before After “Roger stooped, picked, up a stone, aimed and threw it at “The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; Henry- threw it to miss.”- Narrator (page 51) the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and Roger still is civilized enough to miss Henry on purpose. ceased to exist.” – Narrator The thought of punishment and consequences still remain more clearly in his mind than the realization of Roger killed Piggy on purpose my shoving a GIANT being able to do whatever he wants. rock onto him = EVILNESS 1) Roger killed him out of cold blood for no gain at all. 2) Before Roger still had a bit of civilization in him , now its all gone, he has gone wild, and turned evil, showing mankind's true nature when finally having the ability to do it without punishments or consequences. Chaos
GOLDING’s MESSAGE William Golding’s message: Apparently, Golding thought that mankind was naturally EVIL and when left alone, they create chaos. Even if the person was previously civilized, if they are thrown in a place where there are no punishment or consequences for their actions, it’ll eventually dawn on them that they can do whatever they like, and that is when the monster comes out in a person. Golding shows us about this idea by putting a group of boys on a deserted island. With no laws and punishment for their actions, most of the boys start out from hesitating to kill a pig, to actually killing Piggy and Simon and attempting to hunt down Ralph in the end in pure cold blood. EVIL EVIL
INTERVIEWS
Interview of other people’s perspective Video Interview: Sara Pistono Questions for Interview 1. What do you think that human nature is like? Good, evil, neutral, or half and half? And why? 2. Do you think that man kind is “born” evil or good, or neither? Why? 3. Does society affect man’s thoughts, does it affect human nature? 4. Do humans have any “good” qualities in them? Or all are we completely absorbed in self interest? 5. If you put humans unaffected by society on a place, say babies were put on an island and they grew up there (somehow, without outside help). When they grow up, would they naturally become savages and destroy the island, or would they be “noble”, and have peace and harmony prosper?

Serial killers explained • For both Charles Manson and Andrei Chikatilo, they both had terrible past lives. Indeed they have done terrible things, with Charles Manson a famous criminal representing the evil icon, and Andrei Chikatilo the most notorious serial killer ever. • However, if they had had better lives, with family members who cared for them, and that they were never mistreated, they may have never became brutal mass murderers, they could’ve actually been GOOD. If they had had parents to teach them what was right an wrong, like for Charles Manson, if his mother wasn’t also a criminal, they would’ve probably never have looked at things the wrong way that they did. • Although, it is quite possible they were born in that way too. For Charles Manson, he could’ve been a pretty famous musician if he had chosen to. Instead, mankind’s “evil nature” kind of overtook him, and he turned to murdering instead.
• It is true that humans are naturally selfish and greedy. As shown in Lord of the Flies, mankind when left alone without the boundaries of civilization to keep them in will eventually run wild. However, I believe that like Adam Smith said, humans are naturally born evil, but there is still some good within us, either by donating or just helping out people in trouble. We’re good in a way such as Rousseau mentioned. • Nurture can also corrupt an individual eventually. Babies aren't born as murderers, it’s the environment around them that effects what they do added by the fact that we are naturally self-interested. If a person had a bad family history, with their parents being murderers, they’d most likely copy. If you live in a bad city it is because of the 'survival of the fittest' nature that you’d naturally become a gangster. • If you compare Charles Manson and Andrei Chikatilo, as much as it is their personal fault, they had terrible past lives. However, if they had had better lives, with family members raised them up, teaching them the right concepts they could’ve actually been GOOD. • I believe that there is no plain good or evil in an individual, with few exceptions. We are naturally evil, yet good in a way, and we’re both affected by Nurture and Nature. There is no completely good or evil person on this world, and there never will be a perfect individual on our planet.

Human Nature- Powerpoint (Final Assesment)

  • 1.
  • 2.
    INTRODUCTION For hundreds ofyears, going back centuries or more, countless numbers of philosophers have debated over the nature of mankind, whether humans are born evil or good. Numerous books and thinkers have argued over this topic such as the renown Lord of the Flies and the members of the Enlightenment Salon, about mankind’s nature with different concepts and interpretations. In this presentation, you’ll find quotes and analyzes of them from well know people and Lord of the Flies, and examples. Past and current news and my personal ideas on human nature will also be described in detail.

    Nature Vs. Nurture Nature Nurture If we’re naturally good or If it is society that makes us evil good or evil I believe that nurture can corrupt an individual eventually. Babies aren't born evil, its only as they grow up, the environment and influence around them that effects what they do. FAMILY/ FRIENDS It depends on their family and friends too. For example, if a person had a bad family history, with their parents being murderers or gangsters, and friends who stole and made trouble, they’d most likely copy them because that’s what they’ve been seeing since a young age. CITY Also, it depends on which places they live in, like if they live in a poor part in a city and has a lot of shooting, gangsters, bullying and murders and such, then they will most likely be affected by that. If you live in a bad city it is because of the 'survival of the fittest' nature that you’d naturally become a gangster to save yourself, whereas in a good city with more police enforcement, you’d be much less likely to do the wrong things.

    Mother Teresa: BriefBiography Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go. - Mother Teresa • Who is Mother Teresa? She spent all of her life helping the poor people in India, visiting and helping those who lived in slums and in poverty, giving her life to helping those who were sick and suffering. • What does she represent? Considered a saint, she represents the goodness in human nature, who willingly gave up her own needs and comfortable life to benefit and change thousands of others lives. WHY? • Founder of the Missionaries of Charity, where they opened schools, and various centers to treat the blind, the aged, lepers, the disabled, and the dying. • She also found the Nirmal Hriday (“Place for the Pure of Heart”), a caring home where the seriously ill could die with honor.

    Mother Teresa: HumanNature • “When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed.” - Mother Teresa • I believe that Mother Teresa has stated here, in an indirect way, of how human nature may work. • If we see a poor hungry man or woman, slowly withering away, it isn’t because they did any sin for god to punish them, in fact they could be living comfortably right now. • It is because we don’t care for them, that we’d just glance or avoid looking at them at all and just pass by. We’re much too selfish to care about their problems as we don’t get anything back from helping, we’d rather save our money for ourselves, even though they need it much more than us. • If we do help them, it would only be giving them a coin which isn’t enough to help them. Even if it’s a child, we are too selfish to take them into the warmth of our house and feed them, even if its during winter and freezing cold, with the person close to dying of coldness.

    Mother Teresa your love everywhere you go.” $ • “Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread - Mother Teresa • Money isn't everything, giving money doesn’t means giving your love or caring. It doesn’t bring happiness, as those can’t be bought. EXAMPLE: If there was a beggar squatting outside your door, or shivering beside your building, the most a person would do would be giving them several coins, barely enough for them to buy a proper meal. If humans showed morality, we would at least try to help them to the best of our abilities, to find them a job or a possible way to live in better conditions.

    Rousseau • In theDiscourse on the Origin and Foundations of Inequality, he pointed out that it is natural in humans to be good • He believed that civilization corrupts humans nature and that it is not a wonderful thing as all of the people of his time had thought, but a terrible monster that would eventually destroy and claw away all of humans “born goodness” into shreds. • Rousseau explains that it is the influence by our daily lives that is affecting us and clouding our vision, growing the natural sin within us. He expresses that we, humans, aren’t born naturally evil, (because babies can’t be sinful,) but it is our surrounding environment that corrupts our thoughts and feelings. • “Man is naturally good, loving justice, and order” • It is in mankind’s nature to be good, independent and compassionate • He felt that feeling is more important than reason. Just do what you feel like, no matter the sensible reasoning for the task.
  • 9.
    Adam Smith The Theoryof Moral Sentiments (a book by Adam Smith) • “How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it except the pleasure of seeing it.” - Adam Smith quotes • Humans are complex, although we’re selfish, something within us still tugs at us, a desire to care for the welfare of others. • We wish to make other people happy, and yet we expect nothing in return, apart from the pleasure of doing it. • So humans, ARE naturally selfish, but we’re still good in away. Because we are taught from a young age either directly or indirectly about morality, we still have some willingness to help others within us.

    Evil in Lordof the flies In William Golding’s novel, the Lord of the Flies, he constantly shows the evilness in our world. Set on an deserted island where a plane full of school boys crash, representing the miniature version of our world, this story shows us Golding’s perspective on Human nature. The Pig’s head on a stake The Pig’s head on a stake was placed in the forest as a gift to the “beast” by Jack, the Id in the story. SIN IN BOYS Simon, found out while looking at the pig head that the beast that the boys had imagined isn’t real but is the sin in human nature, of irrational fear.

    The action ofCRUELLY killing a living sow, a mother who was feeding her children, shows how … Jack and his hunters have cast aside their civilized selves for exchange being wild savages without mercy. The fact that they had FUN and tortured the pig to death shows how eventually a civilized and kind person can naturally turn bloody and ruthless overtime when left alone

    Lord of theFlies: Quotes Before After “Roger stooped, picked, up a stone, aimed and threw it at “The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; Henry- threw it to miss.”- Narrator (page 51) the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and Roger still is civilized enough to miss Henry on purpose. ceased to exist.” – Narrator The thought of punishment and consequences still remain more clearly in his mind than the realization of Roger killed Piggy on purpose my shoving a GIANT being able to do whatever he wants. rock onto him = EVILNESS 1) Roger killed him out of cold blood for no gain at all. 2) Before Roger still had a bit of civilization in him , now its all gone, he has gone wild, and turned evil, showing mankind's true nature when finally having the ability to do it without punishments or consequences. Chaos

    GOLDING’s MESSAGE William Golding’smessage: Apparently, Golding thought that mankind was naturally EVIL and when left alone, they create chaos. Even if the person was previously civilized, if they are thrown in a place where there are no punishment or consequences for their actions, it’ll eventually dawn on them that they can do whatever they like, and that is when the monster comes out in a person. Golding shows us about this idea by putting a group of boys on a deserted island. With no laws and punishment for their actions, most of the boys start out from hesitating to kill a pig, to actually killing Piggy and Simon and attempting to hunt down Ralph in the end in pure cold blood.

    Interview of otherpeople’s perspective Video Interview: Sara Pistono Questions for Interview 1. What do you think that human nature is like? Good, evil, neutral, or half and half? And why? 2. Do you think that man kind is “born” evil or good, or neither? Why? 3. Does society affect man’s thoughts, does it affect human nature? 4. Do humans have any “good” qualities in them? Or all are we completely absorbed in self interest? 5. If you put humans unaffected by society on a place, say babies were put on an island and they grew up there (somehow, without outside help). When they grow up, would they naturally become savages and destroy the island, or would they be “noble”, and have peace and harmony prosper?

    Serial killers explained •For both Charles Manson and Andrei Chikatilo, they both had terrible past lives. Indeed they have done terrible things, with Charles Manson a famous criminal representing the evil icon, and Andrei Chikatilo the most notorious serial killer ever. • However, if they had had better lives, with family members who cared for them, and that they were never mistreated, they may have never became brutal mass murderers, they could’ve actually been GOOD. If they had had parents to teach them what was right an wrong, like for Charles Manson, if his mother wasn’t also a criminal, they would’ve probably never have looked at things the wrong way that they did. • Although, it is quite possible they were born in that way too. For Charles Manson, he could’ve been a pretty famous musician if he had chosen to. Instead, mankind’s “evil nature” kind of overtook him, and he turned to murdering instead.
  • 21.
    • It is true that humans are naturally selfish and greedy. As shown in Lord of the Flies, mankind when left alone without the boundaries of civilization to keep them in will eventually run wild. However, I believe that like Adam Smith said, humans are naturally born evil, but there is still some good within us, either by donating or just helping out people in trouble. We’re good in a way such as Rousseau mentioned. • Nurture can also corrupt an individual eventually. Babies aren't born as murderers, it’s the environment around them that effects what they do added by the fact that we are naturally self-interested. If a person had a bad family history, with their parents being murderers, they’d most likely copy. If you live in a bad city it is because of the 'survival of the fittest' nature that you’d naturally become a gangster. • If you compare Charles Manson and Andrei Chikatilo, as much as it is their personal fault, they had terrible past lives. However, if they had had better lives, with family members raised them up, teaching them the right concepts they could’ve actually been GOOD. • I believe that there is no plain good or evil in an individual, with few exceptions. We are naturally evil, yet good in a way, and we’re both affected by Nurture and Nature. There is no completely good or evil person on this world, and there never will be a perfect individual on our planet.
