Humans in nature

[colony]

If humans were to be left alone in nature, without government, laws etc.. Would they be generally good, or evil? Why?

Ok I woultn' but there would be evil ofcourse =p DUH!

And I'm too tired to say why =D

if you dont teach them anything they would not be good or bad, just like a monkey.

if you teach them morale i think they would try to apply the learned things. i dont think anyone is born good or bad. you act based on what you have learned.

[Richard Creager]

Good and evil are relative terms.

they would be awesome, thats what they would be.

if someone on these boards would make a weapon of mass destruction we could make our own ideal culture out of the ashes of this one and test it. just make sure to save enough girls!

OMFGXZZOR!¡ Cook, Im taking a participation in government class, and they just asked me the same question today.

I would have to say that humans would posses both evil and goodness, but the environment the person grew up in would affect thier prefrences. yea somthng like that, sorta, maby....
