Deven: Write
about one interpretation of evil and then write about how you see this
interpretation.
The Socratic
view believes that there is one evil which is ignorance. I feel that this is only half correct. I feel that this is only half correct in the
sense that some people are just mean like Roger from Lord of the Flies. Some people just enjoy pain and know exactly
what it means and have a complete understanding of their actions and their
effect. The thing is that their actions
are limited somewhat by their understanding.
I believe that the kind of evil this
applies to is people like Hitler who ignorantly killed hundreds of Jews in
concentration camps because he saw them as a flaw. He ignorantly caused the death of many people
because of his own disagreements with them.

I totally agree with you about how ignorance can be interpreted into a form of evil. Like people not caring what they do, who they do it to and who it effects. They just like to inflict pain on others. But I also think this kind of evil such as Hitler can be interpreted as people believing that they are right or perfect and that everyone should be like them. And if your aren't they kill you off.
