Good vs Evil: Jania Stevenson

Good and evil are concepts that are thought to have a clear, definite line between them. There are good people and bad people, and the good people don't do bad things and the bad people don't do good things. Although this is what is believed by most people, I think that this is not the case. In the movie "Bernie" there is a guy named Bernie who lives in a small town. Everyone knows him and he is well liked by everyone because they thought he was a good person. He ended up shooting and killing a woman he worked for. This shows that there is no absolute line good and evil. The line is blurred by the fact that everyone has the ability and the choice to be either one. This movie also shows that good and evil are viewed differently by different people. The people who liked Bernie still viewed him as a good person after he committed murder. To them, he was just a good person who did a bad thing, while to others he might have been viewed as evil. So in the end, there is no true good and no true evil and both of these concepts can be perceived differently by different people
