Are people good or bad?

Question

Assuming that every action of yours and others is completely anonymous, would people be good or bad?

Answer 1

Good.

Answer 2

neither.. because no one would trust eachother.. so it would just be caotic (sp?) =/

Answer 3

Bad, if you grouped everyone/thing together it would come out moreso bad, I'm sure...

Answer 4

I think it would still be an undecided thing. People are complex and no two are the same. I believe in the goodness of people though.

Answer 5

good and bad are moral terms, morals are constituded by the validity

of a given situatrion, kind of like a measuring cup showing us just how

far we can go before we've gone to far, and how do we know how far is

to far? and that's determined by how we're raised, we all claim to have

a belief system, what we don't realize is that inadvetantly we wouldn't

believe in anything if we weren't taught to believe in it in the first place,

and how we are taught eventually determines the true out come of our

actions, cause bottom line, we realy don't need to believe in anything

to be good or bad, i'm atheist yet i know it's wrong to kill, i don't need

religion to tell me this, and yet in a religious persons eyes, there's no

way they would ever consider me being a good person, though they

might talk a good show, inside it bugs the h**l out of them that i could

deny a god of goodness and yet have the audacity to consider my self

a person who represents goodness in it's true form . . .

" Are people good or bad?" . . .

Neither, there what ever they have to be to accomendate there survival,

i said i knew it was wrong to kill, that doesn't mean i wouldn't if some

one was atticking my wife, after all, if it's wrong for me then how did it

become right for someone else unless who ever rock there cradle, had

a srewd up belief system in the first place . . .

Answer 6

What does it mean to be good or bad?

People are people

Answer 7

I think they're both.

Answer 8

Good and bad are concepts, formed by people as they grow up and begin to associate things with principles. If your question is serious, I think you would be interested in learning basic psychology, because it goes over how people learn to differentiate things between right and wrong.

You see, good and bad are just words, and they vary from person to person. You may believe that having a relationship with more than one person at the same time to be immoral, and yet, there are some religions that view polygamy to be acceptable. People form these ideologies based on how they are raised, and their own personal insight on the world at large.  

Answer 9
