For example‚ you may be having a great day

Human Nature and the Expression of Morals A sense of what is morally right and wrong is a fundamental aspect of human nature. It is considered morally wrong to kill living things and morally right to help someone in need. Throughout William Golding’s Lord of The Flies and Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird‚ there are several instances where standards of human morality fluctuate.

Human Natures Tragic Flaw Do you believe there is a beast within man that tempts us to do wrong and commit sin? Or is it just human nature to be sinful?
