What do you understand by being "inherently good"and "inherently bad"? Do you believe that all human beings are either inherently good or bad? Give arguments to support your view.
Good and bad are binary opposites. Inherently is defined as something that is built-in or a part of the makeup of a person or thing.
Inherently good refers to goodness being inherent in the individual across time and space irrespective of the circumstances. Similarly inherently bad refers to badness being inherent in the individual across time and space irrespective of the circumstances.
It is difficult to demarcate the behaviour of the individuals under the absolute ideals of good and bad across time and space. Hence it is difficult to categorise individuals as inherently good or bad. But with some minor exceptions people like Gandhiji and Mandela can be put under the category of inherently good and Hitler under the category of inherently bad.
But the clear demarcation as inherently good or bad is not a practical idea because it is difficult to put the things as white and black when the reality is in grey. There are no absolute values which can demarcate the things as absolute good and absolute bad. Hence the clear distinction of things as absolute good and absolute bad seems an unrealistic phenomenon.
As the theory of consequentialism propounds there are no absolutes and the things can be evaluated only under the shadow of results, it would be a daunting task to put a clear demarcation as inherently good and inherently bad.
Unaelewa nini kwa kuwa "mzuri kiasili" na "mzuri kiasili"? Je, unaamini kwamba wanadamu wote ni wema au wabaya? Toa hoja za kuunga mkono maoni yako. Uzuri na ubaya ni kinyume cha binary. Inherently ni kitu ambacho ni kujengwa katika au sehemu ya makeup ya mtu au kitu. Inherently nzuri inahusu wema kuwa asili katika mtu katika muda na nafasi bila kujali hali. Vivyo hivyo, ubaya wa asili unarejelea ubaya ambao ni wa asili kwa mtu katika wakati na nafasi bila kujali hali. Ni vigumu kuamua tabia ya watu chini ya mawazo kamili ya mema na mabaya katika wakati na nafasi. Kwa hiyo ni vigumu kuainisha watu kuwa wazuri au wabaya. Lakini, kwa baadhi ya tofauti ndogo, watu kama vile Gandhi na Mandela wanaweza kuwekwa chini ya jamii ya asili nzuri na Hitler chini ya jamii ya asili mbaya. Lakini kugawanya wazi kama asili nzuri au mbaya si wazo la vitendo kwa sababu ni vigumu kuweka mambo kama nyeupe na nyeusi wakati ukweli ni katika kijivu. Hakuna maadili kamili ambayo yanaweza kugawanya mambo kuwa mema kabisa na mabaya kabisa. Kwa hiyo tofauti iliyo wazi kati ya mambo kuwa mema kabisa na mabaya kabisa yaonekana kuwa jambo lisilo la kweli. "Kwa kuwa nadharia ya consequentialism inadai kwamba hakuna ""kimsingi"" na mambo yanaweza kutathminiwa tu chini ya kivuli cha matokeo, itakuwa kazi ya kutisha kuweka mipaka ya wazi kama asili nzuri na asili mbaya."
