What Makes Us Bad?

We become bad if we hurt others constantly in an irrational manner, being abusive and ignorant also makes us bad, these are some examples why we become a bad person, in short if we do bad things that can harm others or anything that can cause destruction to God’s creations we are becoming a bad person. We are judged by others on how we act and behave and even how we treat others if we act, behave and treat others badly we are judged by others us a bad person having a bad personality.

What makes us good? Explain.

We become good if we do good things. Good deeds are example of being good. It is good to be good because the consequences of doing good are more favorable than those of not being good, for example I did a good deed therefore I’ll be rewarded and avoid punishment. God is thus a surrogate parent, and by being good we gain divine reward and avoid divine punishment.

Shared reflection about the article

Jeffrey Kluger’s article is very interesting he focuses on human being behavior. He states, that humans have a developed sense of morality which is primarily taught from childhood. Our highly developed sense of morality separates us from animals, I highly agree with it because we can distinguish what is right and wrong, what is good and bad, what is moral and immoral. Morality might be a hard concept to grasp, but we acquire it fast. All in all, Kluger talks about, how morality is taught from childhood and a person’s decision to do something bad or good is based on empathy.
