Do you believe humans are inherently good?

Back to General Discussion

My teacher asked the class this question today in preparation for a book we're going to start and the majority voted no, which I found really interesting. Nobody really explained their reasoning which was a bummer cause I was really curious why they said no. I said yes because I believe nobody is naturally born evil, but their circumstances are what make them do bad things. It's a very naive look at human nature and not a good argument but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I want to see what other people have to say about this.
