  • In another, they even acted as judge and jury. When asked to take away treats from a 'naughty' puppet, some babies went further - and dished out their own punishment with a smack on its head.
  • Instead, they suggest that the difference between good and bad may be hardwired into the brain at birth.

Difference Between Good and Evil | Difference Between | Good vs Evil - 0 views

  • Good coexists with evil and there can be no thing such as ‘good’ unless there is ‘evil’ and vice versa
  • Good and evil also depend upon the context and results. While an action or a person may be considered good in a certain situation, the same action or person may be labeled bad in another situation. For instance, fire produces warmth during winter. When it destroys property or life, it turns evil.
