So, I had to write a paragraph on what I thought evil was. It will be graded on a very strict scale. I just need to know, if it sounds alright, and maybe do some mild proof reading? thanks in advance guys :p

Evil Paragraph
Actions become evil when one does them to intentionally harm another. One could also be considered evil when trying to instill fear into a person. An evil person knows what they are doing is wrong, knows the consequences, but they do not care about them. Evil can also be brought into the realm of one’s morality. Depending upon what a person believes is right, anyone, or anything for that matter, can potentially be evil that threatens their right or good, if you will. During the Holocaust, the Nazi’s were doing what they thought was good, but to the rest of the world, this was an evil act. Evil could be summed up as a negative action to cause an even more negative reaction, all for the benefit of one’s self. Although, that is not always the case, sometimes there is no benefit, and the person does it solely because they want to do whatever they please, whether that is to kill someone, or rape another. As far as people being born evil, I believe that evil comes from the way one is raised. There could have been a horrible experience in one’s childhood, thus causing them to lose a grip on reality and slip into the world of evil, where all they know are negative things, and everything they do goes through their mind, but they ignore it anyways. In conclusion, evil is an element that isn’t controlled by a person, but unfortunately if one becomes evil it is hard to make them become good.
