My belief is that there are no definite good and bad people in this world, but instead we are all in this grey area of being both being good and bad. The unit on human nature at the beginning of the trimester changed how I viewed the world completely. Specifically, when we as a class discussed moral dilemmas, I strongly believed at the time that there were good and bad people in this world and your actions showed what kind of person you were but the more we dug into moral decisions it become clear to me that no one could be the perfect moral human being.
