Good vs. Evil

Judgments Good vs. Evil There are many concepts that are determined in the eye of the be put oner. People have different morals someones morals could be seen as corruption to someone else. What someone considers beautiful, another great power consider app tout ensembleing. A persons definition of justice could be someone elses definition of illegal. There are many factors as to why we all have different paradigms, such as the way we were raised, our past experiences, our culture, or our faith. Consequently, we all stress accordingly to our own perspectives. In East of Eden, tail end Steinbeck states that one can be assumed good or bad once the person has died.With our different paradigms, we would have different perspectives on good and evil. Therefore, we do not notice the correct definition of good or evil, so it would not be right for us to valuate someone at all before or after their death. Everything we see is perspective, but how are we so sure it is the truth? Take for e xample, a flower. To a kind-hearted, it is small generous to hold in his hand to an insect, it is big enough to be a home. The human and the insect are looking at the same flower, but view it differently. Is the ant simply miniature, or is the human just too big?It cannot be deemed because at that place are different paradigms that manipulate our judgment. There are also to a greater extent serious cases that this applies to. On July 5, 2011, Casey Anthony was found not guilty for murdering her young daughter Caylee. Observers were stunned and outraged by the jurys verdict. Jurors claimed that it could not be prove that Casey Anthony was guilty because there was not enough evidence. There were only facts that led up to the conclusion that Casey could be the manslayer, but there were no raw and unfeigned facts that clearly showed that Casey was responsible for the death of her daughter.The death penalty weighed a lot on the deliberation of the jurors. They had a life in their hands conclusions and inferences were not enough to find her guilty. The jury could be deemed good for following the law and abiding by their oath, or they could be deemed evil for letting a potential murderer get away with a crime. There are many positions on this verdict based on our viewpoints, but we do not actually know the truth. There are so many perspectives in the universe, we can never be so sure which is the correct one. Without knowing the truth, our judgments arent justified.They say there is a story behind everything. Stories usually have two sides to them, maybe even more. Often times, we want to believe that we know the full story. As human beings, we like closure and we do not like unanswered questions. But should it often occur to someone that there may be multiple unnoticeable sides to a story? Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her bedroom from an overdose on August 5, 1962. Monroes death remains a mystery and has make out one of the most debated conspiracy theor ies of all time. Some people believe that her death was a homicide, and some people believed it was a suicide.There could be many unbeknown(predicate) explanations to Monroes death, and we may never find out. Without knowledge of how she died, our judgments are not rationalized. There are always going to be unanswered questions and ambiguous endings. As humans, what we believe is virtuous usually leads back to our viewpoints and understanding of life. Everyone has their life structured a certain way according to their beliefs. Our beliefs have a huge seismic disturbance on our mentality and actions whether we believe in God, Buddha, Atheism, Karma, or anything at all. With differentiating religion and beliefs, there is no validity to our judgments.Without the knowledge of the truth, we are not able to judge righteously we would be assuming blindly. It is a human instinct to judge. We judge to make laws so society can function in an orderly manner, we judge to protect ourselves fro m harm by distinguishing what seems to be dangerous or harmful, and we also judge to make decisions to benefit ourselves, such as choosing the college to our desire. Although these are rational reasons as to why we should judge, they also lead to war, terrorist attacks, stereotypes, and prejudice. Our assumptions and judgments revolve around our perspective.Our paradigms frame our judgments, and this often results to different positions and viewpoints. The concept of good and evil are in the eyes of the beholder. The true(a) definition of good and evil may never be revealed in our lifetime. Consequently, we are not able to deem someone good or evil before or after their death since we do not have the understanding of these ideas in the first place. Works Cited Death of Caylee Anthony.
