For grossly imperfect creatures like us, morality may be the steepest ofall developmental mountains. Our opposable thumbs and big brains gave us thetools to dominate the planet, but wisdom comes more slowly than physicalhardware. We surely have a lot of killing and savagery ahead of us before wefully civilize ourselves.
The hope--a realistic one, perhaps--is that the strugglesstill to come are fewer than those left behind. Simpson's acquittal may haveoutraged people, but it did make the morality tale surrounding him much richer,as the culture as a whole turned its back on him, denying him work, expelling him from his country club, refusing him service in a restaurant.

We're a species that is capable of almost dumbfounding kindness. We nurse one another, romance one another, weep for one another.

The deeper that science drills into the substrata of behavior, the harder it becomes to preserve the vanity that we are unique among Earth's creatures.
What Makes us Moral? What Makes Us Moral By Jeffrey Kluger If the whole human species were a single individual, that person would long ago have been declared mad. Yet we make What makes us Moral? Dazu hab ich mir eine. The Line Between Good and Evil In this essay , I will explore the nature of evil, and the psychology of the human mind. In the book Lord of the Flies innocence was lost because the boys were stranded on the island.
Without civilization and adults helping the boys make good decisions, the boys changed from innocent schoolboys into savages. Lord of the Flies by William Golding is a book about the life of school aged boys on an unknown island after their plane crashed, and how they lived without adults to lead and guide them. Jack and his hunters grow to enjoy the acts of violence that take place. Piggy is in denial about some of the violence. Guilt is the emotion people feel when they have done some wrong, while shame is a more fundamental feeling about oneself, and that something about oneself is wrong.

In order to relate to this beginning time William Goulding wrote during World War II, Lord of the Flies, expressing the innocent can easily be shaped for the destruction of their own people. According to Goulding, mankind is initially wicked; therefore its man-made civilization is imperfect and further destroyed by its own creator.
