NeutralI don't think that we are inherently good or inherently evil. I think that individuals choose to be good and evil. Claiming that we are inherently good ignores genuine malice, while claiming that we are inherently evil unintentionally eliminates personal responsibility. If we are all innately evil, there are no logically consistent grounds for any ethical code. No matter what evil a person committed, they could always make the excuse that they were born bad and that so was everyone else, meaning that their actions were as justified as any other. This is a problem with any outlook that downplays the importance of free will. It is equally important, moreover, not to view certain people (but not others) as innately evil apart from the decisions that they make, because doing this is the basis of all forms of prejudice.
