Evil Civilization

When looking back in our past, there is a clear distinction in how much more civilized humans have become. We no longer are running around naked or living in houses made out of mud. However, how civilized are humans really? Civilized people don't savagely kills others or do hard drugs to experience a sort of happiness in their life. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde shows how civilization in humans is very confused. Dr. Jekyll is very civilized: using manners and not ever being violent towards other people. But Mr. Hyde is a murderer and rapist who has no morals what so ever. When thinking of Mr. Hyde, you think of a very uncivilized person who one could never imagine being in our world today. But we have murderers and rapists all over the world. This just shows that there is evil in our world, a lot of evil. However, when one thinks of evil they may think of witches and dark magic, just like in the novel of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but I believe evil is seen in our world today in those people who commit those horrible crimes. With civilization does not come purity, or a lack of evil. A huge evil has been seen right here in the United States very recently: the bombing in Boston. Who bombs a place that is causing no harm to anyone? It was a friendly, competitive race. This is a perfect description of evil because many people were killed and injured for no reason what so ever. Evil exists a lot in our world today, even though we are more civilized then we used to be.
