John Locke was an English philosopher influential on American government. He believed natural rights like life, liberty, and property were inherent and the main purpose of government was to protect these rights. In a state of nature without government, people's natural rights would not be secure due to a lack of laws and potential abuse by the stronger. This is why people consent to forming social contracts and governments, giving up some freedom in exchange for protection of their rights.
This document discusses ethical relativism and its implications. It defines relativism as the view that morality is relative to individuals, groups, cultures or societies rather than being based on universal truths. The most compelling argument for relativism is that different cultures have different moral codes and practices, showing there is no absolute morality. However, critics argue that cultural differences do not prove relativism, and tolerance itself can be an absolute value. The document also examines how relativism and corruption can influence business ethics and corporate governance.

This document discusses John Locke's natural rights theory and introduces some key questions about natural rights and the state of nature. It explains that natural rights theory imagines life without government, in a state of nature, and that according to Locke all people have natural rights to life, liberty, and property. The document then instructs students to work in groups to answer questions about natural rights and how people might organize themselves if starting a new society on an uninhabited island.
The document discusses whether the nature of man is good or evil. It presents evidence on both sides of the argument. On the side of man being good, it discusses quotes and actions from Lord of the Flies that show leadership, teamwork and sacrifice. It also discusses historical figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi who promoted non-violence. On the side of man being evil, it presents violent quotes from Lord of the Flies and examples of real-world murder, sexual offenses, and robbery. Famous dictators like Hitler and Stalin who killed millions are given as examples of human evil. Overall, the document does not take a definitive stance, but explores perspectives on both sides of whether the intrinsic nature of
What is man? This lesson begins the exploration of the nature of man, by examining Jesus. We see in Jesus the same as us: the body, soul (life), inner man, and spirit.
After looking at top-models in computer graphics last time, we make a 90° turn and look to the 'top-models' of human nature. What did some famous philosophers think? Is the human nature 'bad' (Hobbes) or 'good' (Rousseau)? Do these models agree with today's society and how we live today? Can they explain how we behave in daily life (e.g. why we are lazy or why we help each other)?
I will give give several initiatory insights, giving us lots of material to discuss at Koerner's.
From the Un-Distinguished Lecture Series (http://ws.cs.ubc.ca/~udls/). The talk was given Apr. 13, 2007.
Human nature involves thinking, acting, and feeling naturally without cultural influence. It can provide norms for living but also constraints. Christian theology views human nature as either spiritual/Biblical or natural/anti-theistic. The Bible describes human nature as having two elements - the body and spirit breathed by God, creating a living soul in God's image with the ability to make decisions. However, humans can also choose sin and fall from righteousness. Empirical views see human nature as selfish, while some theologians see it as basically good needing proper education.
The document discusses several perspectives on morality including ethical relativism, which holds that moral principles are valid relative to culture rather than being universal. It also mentions moral skepticism, objectivism, absolutism, and nihilism. Additionally, it covers the diversity thesis, dependency thesis, subjectivism, conventionalism, and criticisms of ethical relativism regarding cultural changes over time and difficulties with determining moral truths across societies.
Natural law theories propose that there are objective, universal principles of morality that can be discovered by reason and that inform just positive law. Key thinkers in the natural law tradition include Aristotle, Aquinas, Hobbes, Locke, Fuller, Finnis, and Hart. They variously argue that natural law is derived from human nature, God, or basic human goods. For Aquinas, natural law comes from eternal law and practical reason, and just human laws should conform to natural law. Finnis develops a secular natural law based on seven basic human goods. Critics argue natural law is not objective or universal and simply imposes personal views under the guise of rational principles.

The document discusses different philosophies and biological evidence regarding human nature. It explains that human nature includes logical characteristics and behaviors that are common to all humans. It also discusses theories that genetics, psychology, birth order, instincts, and hormones can influence human nature. The document concludes that both biological and philosophical evidence support the idea that human nature is an innate attribute that can determine behavior, regardless of environmental influences.
The document discusses the foundations of Christian moral life. It begins by noting that humanity is created in God's image as gifts of love. Morality is understood as conducting oneself according to one's identity and relationship to God. The Christian moral life involves following Christ's example by centering one's mind, heart, and actions on the Gospel. It requires growing in faith through love of others, prayer, and courageous commitment to God's mission. A morally good life recognizes that people are both unique yet equal, rational and relational beings who are embodied spirits and shaped by historical realities. Virtues, both theological and cardinal, are important for freely choosing moral good. Prayer and the sacraments help strengthen one's ability to
This document provides an overview of morality and ethics. It defines philosophy and explains how ethics relates to the study of morality. It outlines two approaches to studying morality - descriptive and philosophical. The philosophical approach includes normative ethics, which deals with standards of behavior, and meta-ethics, which analyzes the logic and reasoning behind ethical systems. The document also discusses where morality comes from, including objective theories based on supernatural beings or natural laws, and subjective theories that see morality as residing within humans. It explores the relationships between morality, law, religion and culture.
The document provides an overview of the development of human rights from ancient times to modern international law. It traces the origins of concepts like natural rights in documents like the Magna Carta and Declaration of Independence. It then summarizes major milestones in establishing international human rights standards, including the UN Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and International Covenants on Civil/Political and Economic/Social/Cultural Rights. The final sections define key terms like human rights, humanitarian law, and the different categories of rights.
This document provides an overview of philosophy of the human person and existentialism. It discusses how philosophy begins in wonder and aims to understand human life and reality as a whole. Existentialism emphasizes the individual's existence and freedom over rationalism. While existentialist philosophies diverge, they commonly focus on humans as actors and subjects rather than objects, and stress existence as situatedness and freedom in different ways. The document explores various existentialist thinkers like Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Sartre, and their views on authentic versus inauthentic existence.

3. Man is both good AND evil
Human nature differs from how people view on
things and what they believe in.
Basically, “good” is the name we give when a
person does things that humans in common like
“evil” is the name we give when a person does
things that humans in common DONOT like.

5. Importance of laws and orders
within a society
“Which Is better, to have laws and agree, or to hunt
and kill?” is said by Piggy in Chap 11. Piggy asks a
rhetorical question to indicate that human nature is
meant to have laws and orders in order to form a
society.

6. Order and Cooperation
“ We can use this to call the others. Have a meeting.
(16:9).” Piggy states this to Ralph informing the
need of order and cooperation among people-
human nature is meant to work together to better
one’s condition.

7. Adam Smith’s
(Philosopher) thoughts
"How selfish so ever man may be supposed, there are
evidently some principles in his nature, which interest
him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness
necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it
except the pleasure of seeing it."
(http://www.adamsmith.org/adam-smith/)
Human nature is complicated and complex.
People are self-interested, but at the same
time, we also like to help others too.
8. Conventions and Groups
Today, conventions and groups are organized
to help people who are in need of help.
UN (United Nations)
UNICEF (United Nations International
Children’s Emergency Fund)
WHO (World Health Organization)

9. Helping Others (Personal
Experience)
Back in the days when I was in Korea, I often had
friends who got hurt and needed help. Whenever
there were accidents, I helped them get to the
nurse. This suggested that it is human nature to
help others who are in harsh conditions.
12. Robbery…
First of all, why are there
frequent robberies?
The answer to the
question is because
people are never satisfied
with what they have. It is
human nature to be
jealous or to be greedy of
something.
13. Murder…
Few month ago, in Korea, a wife in a family killed
her husband to earn the death benefit which was
about $100,000 and was caught few weeks later.
This kind of murder is due to the human nature of
being selfish and greedy and when considering the
frequent murders, it is evidently clear that human
nature is EVIL.
14. Thomas Hobbes
(Philosopher) thoughts
Thomas Hobbes was a Philosopher who
believed that human nature was evil. He
claimed that all humans have an evil side
in themselves and they would need laws
and orders to control what they do.
15. Evilness is something that is
within a human being.
“There isn’t anyone to help you. Only me.
And I’m the Beast. . . . Fancy thinking the
Beast was something you could hunt and
kill! . . . You knew, didn’t you? I’m part of
you? Close, close, close! I’m the reason
why it’s no go? Why things are the way
they are?”
The Lord of the Flies speaks these lines to
Simon in Chapter 8. These words informs
Simon that the “beast”, which symbolizes
fear and evilness, is within the boys. http://www.google.com.hk/imgres?q=bad&um=1&hl=ko&newwindow=1&tbm=isch&tb

16. The existence of laws and
penalties
When considering the existence of
laws and penalties and its
functionality, we can assume that
people need something to control
themselves in order to prevent crimes
and incidents from happening. As a
result, human nature is evil and
orders are prerequisites to maintain a
stable society.

18. Roger
In the beginning of the
story, Roger is a civilized
boy who followed Ralph’s
rules. However, as Jack
starts to gain power among
the boys, Roger starts
treating Jack as his leader
and turns into a savage
boy.
This proves that man can
be both good and evil. http://www.google.com.hk/imgres?q=roger+lotf&um=1&hl=ko&newwindow=1&tbm=isch&tbnid=2-

19. John Locke’s
(Philosopher)
thoughts
According to John Locke, human
nature is both good and evil and that
humans have an innate sense of
right and wrong. He claimed that
“Man is by nature a social animal.”

20. Conclusion
After reading LOTF (Lord of the Flies) and exploring some
philosopher’s thoughts towards the authenticity of human nature, human
nature seems to be both good and evil. When people are born, they are in a
clean state and they are gradually influenced by the society or even the people
surrounding them. John Locke, a philosopher, claimed that “Man is by nature a
social animal.” which supports the idea that “good” or “evil” is decided from
what one adapts to. Like Roger in LOTF, man can easily assimilate the
changed environment and can undergo a sudden change.
Moreover, the existence of laws and penalties prove that it is
impossible for humans to be just “good” or just “evil”. For example, if we
consider the law-breakers, we can’t say that they are good; conversely, if we
consider the innocents, we can’t say that they are bad. When analyzing the
forms of governments in different countries, it is evidently clear that people are
both good and evil since there is no utopia or dystopia. Therefore, people are
both good and evil.
As mentioned, this question is a very complex and philosophic
question to consider, thus there isn’t a correct or incorrect answer to it.
