Good and Evil My report examines the connection of the coexistence of good and evil across texts and how these aspects effect human nature and society. The texts I used were ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee‚ ‘The Help’ by Tate Taylor‚ ‘Noughts & Crosses’ by Malorie Blackman and ‘Harawira drops N-bomb in water hui debate” by Danya Levy. I believe these texts explore the moral nature of society and human beings as essentially being good and evil through social drifts of racial prejudice‚

Was slavery a necessary evil in the constitution? In short‚ yes‚ at the time I think it was. Slavery wasn’t how it is now. It wasn’t looked at as a heinous act in that time period. In fact‚ it was as common as say‚ owning a hair dryer. I think that’s a good analogy‚ as harsh as it sounds. Slaves were thought of nothing more than property.
