Evil in Society

Society as a whole can be evil or kind, but people show evilness in modern society more often than kindness. Everyone has a decision whether or not to do something evil, but people choose to do the wrong things because they have a thoughtlessness attitude, and their inconsequential feelings of others. People display evilness in modern society and examples include the Newtown shooting, the suicide of Tyler Clementi and the Ponzi scheme Bernard Madoff started.
