The word I picked for my paper is "evil." I picked this particular word because people put a lot of emphasize on the "good," but I believe that "evil" is just as important. For example, there cannot be "good" if there is no "evil," meaning one would not have any perception of what is actually what. Therefore I think that "evil" is just as important as "good."As of now, the word means a lot to me, as we encounter it every day. There are a lot of movies which compare "good" and "evil," and we encounter it every time that we ask ourselves "what's the right thing to do?" If we simply changed the question, we would ask ourselves "what is the wrong thing to do?" and encounter "evil" in a much more direct way.
I am curious to learn about more definitions of the word and study the connections it has to history. I am looking forward to look at religious perceptions such as heaven and hell, and lstudy philosophical ideas about morals.
