Ain T No Man Righteous, By Bob Dylan

Human nature is basically the different traits that individual humans are born with and have picked up while being raised throughout their life. The early thought up idea of natural selection has close ties to the explanation of how human nature is good and or evil. If you look at the definition of natural selection, “ The process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring” you can see that there is no room for humans being kind to each other in a “fish eat fish” world. The competition between different humans or organisms is not a “fair” battle, This proves the scientist Richard Dawkins hypothesis and my own personal opinion of how humans are naturally evil due to the ruthless competition
Dylan's personal views also relate very strongly to the topic of human nature, his music is not only a set of words that have no meaning like most artists today. He had real lyrics that meant everything to him and how he tried to prove a point about the nature of human life. In his song “Ain't No Man Righteous, No Not One” he explains the hypocrites in life and how they push for only their personal gain. “ Look around, ya see so many social hypocrites, Like to make rules for others while they do just the opposite”, this part of the song shows how Dylan can see people cheating and competing to be a better and more achieved person. This relates back to the idea of natural selection, it shows how humans will do anything to be better than the other and it doesn't matter how low they will go or how evil they will become to achieve more in life. Another one of Dylan's writings “Blood in my Eyes” talks about the love he has for a woman and all the things he would do for her, but in the long run she leaves him for another man. “ Hey, Hey, Babe I got blood in my eyes for you…….. You don't want me ?give my money back”, this quote shows the battle to be happy and find a significant other to create a family with, which is a main factor in the idea of natural
Jean Jacques Rousseau was a French philosopher, writer, and composer of the late 18th century. Rousseau was a huge believer in the push to make humans grow and become good strong beings in nature. He expresses these beliefs in his writings of The Emile, “Like small animals….. they must be freed of their constructive swaddling clothes, and should be taught a manual trade, such as carpentry, and allowed to develop within it, further developing Their physical capabilities and hand-brain coordination”. This quote from Rousseau shows how his close beliefs to natural selection are, he believes that when it comes to raising children you must be very strict on them and raise them fairly tough to do hey become hard workers and are more likely to succeed in life more than children raised softly. Many writings of Rousseau were thought to be radical and totally unbelievable compared to the way things were done originally in the 1800’s. In another one of his works “The Social Contract” Rousseau talks about his personal opinions In government and how it should be ran. His famous quote “ Man is born free, but he is everywhere in chains”, shows that even though everyone is born free and can be anything they want, there is a Serbian point in their life where you have to face the real world of natural selection and the huge competition of humans trying to stay alive. Although Rousseau was a
