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? |

Everybody has their own will, but that can also lead to bad things. Most people realize that they have to do good in this world. There are some people with mental problems and etc etc who abuse their willpower and overpower/disrespect others.
I think everybody has the power to turn their lives around, and become a better person. It's all in what they want to do, because you can't change somebody without them seeing what they need to change and realize what's wrong. |
