Dictionary.com says for depraved:
–adjective
Corrupt, wicked, or perverted.
Is that it?
Is that the true and complete definition of evil?
Is this what it means to be deprived?
What makes something evil and someone depraved anyway?
What is evil?
What's truly the lesser of two, or more, evils?
These are some questions my class was asked at the beginning of Trimester, when Infamous and Notorious began in all the history classes.
For about a week or two we circled around this thought of 'evil' and the idea of certain people being 'depraved' as the entire class is built up on the deeds done in history and by man that have been labeled as such.
What I want you, the eager and possibly hot headed debater is this: You're own answers to some of these following situations, and decide if they're evil and deprived, or not.
1.) A drug addict mother fatally drops her young child while high on cocaine.
2.) A man shoots another man on the street in cold blood, with no reason.
3.) Someone commits murder just to see if they could get away with it.
4.) Someone burglarizes into a home and purposely destroys pieces or property within the home which held sentimental value to the owner, knowing full well how much the owner treasured the items.
5.) After assaulting the victim, the perpetrator finishes their beating by defecating on the victim.
6.) Changing a person's appearance psychically by scarring them on the face, so that the victim will always see the scar, and be reminded of the attack.
Keep in mind when you are giving your opinion for these situations, do not go into detail that if this and this were to happen then it would be this.
Just think of the act alone with no outside factors.
