Are Humans Naturally Good, Evil, Neutral, or Something Else Entirely?

Write a one-page paper in which you offer up your view on whether humans are naturally good, evil, neutral, or something else entirely. Make sure you begin your paper with a one-sentence summary of your view and your primary reason(s) for thinking this – the thesis statement. Spend the rest of your paper supporting this thesis.

A standard thesis statement looks like the following: “In this paper, I argue that x because y.” For instance, in a paper where someone argues that we ought to abolish the death penalty, their statement may say something like this: "In this paper, I argue that the death penalty is morally impermissible because the state should not have the authority to take the life of any of its citizens."

So, your thesis statement in this assignment should briefly explain your view on human nature and briefly summarize the main reason why you think this.
