That was a prompt twice 8th grade year when we read The Diary of Anne Frank, once before and once after. As cheesy as it is, I still can't believe that after all she had gone through, she would still believe that people are naturally good.
Are people naturally good or bad? |

Well yeah, there's a lot of religious standpoints you can take from here.
If you go with Adam and Eve, then we're born sinners. Reincarnation, then depending on your actions in past lives. There's also that we're born neutral, and that it depends on how we are nurtured and raised during our childhood. |
