Are humans good or bad by nature?
01-25-13
I believe humans, by nature are good. Even though there are many bad temptations, humans have more willpower than anything else, and that is what prevents us from giving in to those temptations. People typically have good in them from birth, and if left that way, it will become their personality, but if they grow up in a bad environment, it heavily influences who they become. People's first reaction to a problem of another person, is usually sadness for that person, and eventually finding a way to help.

J.A. - What is the purpose of Government?
The government exists to create and enforce rules for the people. The citizens also rely on these rules so they can have equal rights and other freedoms that are guaranteed by the government. This leads to a system where people are given the same political and economic opportunities.
