Are People Inherently Good or Evil?

A philosophy paper I had to write for my class. There are a few word fumbles and incorrect information, but I'll fix it with annotations. Let it be clear that this is my opinion.

@SteveLanning1 none of that matters, the point is that when you are born, you are a fresh new life in this world, not evil, not good, and you might be brought up in a middle or upperclass family indeed, but many things can influence you.

@philxcorexinxurxface According to a recent study, over 75% of Al-Quaeda 'soldiers' who are sworn to kill western or western-influenced people were raised in middle or upper-middle class families, have engineering or other high-discipline degrees (60%), approximately 65% are married and a majority have children and most speak 4-6 languages. Most of them come from well-educated parents, above-average incomes and standard of living.

@HawkeyeLieutenant The justice system was originally made by people trained not to act evil, basically people acting against their nature. People conform to the system out of fear usually. Nowadays, the ones leading the system (or people who follow morals in general) seem to enforce it on convenience. I could go into detail, but there's a character limit I'm going to exceed.

This question is pointless imo, people are not merely just good or evil, it depends entirely on the people who raise you and who you grow up with.
