What is evil?
Evil is something that creates disastrous effects and can often cause violence, harm, or death to other humans. To me, evil has a fairy-tale conotation because no one really uses it in a real sense. Evil is what you hear about in stories and children’s books, making it more of a literary term than a common term in the modern world. It’s hard to articulate evil because some emotions can only be known at the precise moment you feel them. One picture I chose to represent evil was the Lorillard Tobacco company, which is the manufacturer for many brands of tobacco such as Newport and Kent. Tobacco companies can be considered evil because they continuously brainwash the public into thinking that smoking is not bad for you while people are constantly dying from smoking related diseases. The propaganda shown in TV, magazines, and newspapers sometimes target teenagers, telling them smoking is great, which affects my generation. Another example of evil in our society is Wal-Mart, which promises to sell items at ridiculously low prices. The hidden story is that Walmart completely dominates and ruins other businesses in the area, has a very poor healthcare plan, and destroys the environment while it sucks up all of our natural resources. Not cool.
