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? |

Ah, the old Nature vs. Nurture question.
Man is born fundamentally good, but as people have already said, society shapes them. |
