About this Quote

This quote by Iris Chang suggests that people have the prospective to do wicked, but it is just under certain situations that this potential is released. This indicates that individuals are not inherently wicked, but rather that particular scenarios can draw out the worst in them. This might be due to an absence of resources, a sensation of powerlessness, or a feeling of injustice. It could likewise be due to a lack of empathy or understanding of the effects of their actions. In any case, it is very important to acknowledge that individuals have the possible to do evil, and that it is necessary to produce a society that is conducive to favorable behavior and prevents unfavorable behavior. By producing a society that is encouraging and understanding, we can help to ensure that individuals's capacity for evil is not released.
