It can also be as complex as involving the uninvolved or innocent people into your life affairs, which basically means that when someone is evil, they drag someone who had nothing involved with you into your own affairs. Evil can also be in forms of omission and commission. In the Puritan lifestyle, evil was extremely common. The Puritans believed that evil was a sign of disobedience towards God, and brought by the Devil. The play, “The Crucible”, written by Arthur Miller is an excellent example of evil being practiced in a Puritanism society.
East of Eden is a novel in which John Steinbeck discuses the roots of evil in its most common form; human. Through a detailed plot structure and numerous characters, he told a tale of brutality, cruelty, rejection, and isolation. An important character who helped to illustrate evil throughout the novel was Cathy Ames. Cathy was a very smart person, who ruthlessly lied and used other people to satisfy her own needs, “Cathy’s lies were never innocent. Their purpose was to escape punishment, or work, or responsibility, and they were used for profit” (Steinbeck 74).
“In each case, the actors sitting on the chair kept protesting, screaming, exhibiting excruciating pain. But the subject went ahead on the insistence of the experimenter.” (Jha 436) Does this make the followers that help in the evil act, evil as the authority that tells them to do it?

Three characters openly state their prejudice against the accused boy because of his background. The 3rd Juror is prejudiced against him because of the antagonism between himself and his own son: “I think we’d be better off if we took these tough kids and slapped ‘em down before they make trouble, you know?” The 10th Juror believes, “These people are born to lie. Now, it’s the way they are and no intelligent man is gonna tell me otherwise. They don’t know what the truth is…They are different. They act different.” The 4th Juror has similar beliefs to the 10th Juror: “This boy, let’s say he’s a product of a filthy neighbourhood and a broken home.
For the reason that the child may realize that he or she is being mistreated and unloved when punished. It might seem that spanking children makes them afraid to repeat the aggression; nevertheless, it is more likely that they are afraid of the spanker. Psychologist Stephen Glenn states, “Spanking a child only causes resentment, sorrow and anger”. These particular feelings can lead children to have resentment towards their parents. As a parent it is much better to change a disciplinary method than have their children show remorse towards
Justice cannot be served if you have red-herrings which put you off track.Another feature that Cameron Nunn has used to show justice, through the use of the mystery detective genre, is suspects. An example where it shows this featureis on page 103 – “Thomas Dyson, a large muscular boy with a foolishgrin. It was easy to imagine him as the thug who tormented the juniors.‘It’s got to be him.’” The effect of the technique is that David and Simonsuspect Thomas Dyson to be the bully of the school. This adds tension to thereader by revealing the suspects and questioning if it could be them or not. As aresult, the boys go to Thomas Dyson’s house believing that he is the one whokilled Pieter Lehr.
The reason that spanking confuses them is simply this; parents are the example of the difference between right and wrong and all spanking is doing is telling the child is that every time somebody does something wrong they should be smacked for the mistake they made. Secondly, spanking simply installs a sense of "fear and resentment" towards the parent. The only result that comes from making a child fear the parent is just reverse what is trying to be accomplished; discipline. On top of fearing the parent, the child will also lose respect for their parent and make the relationship between parent and child become very weak. Discipline will not work if parents do not have a good relationship with their child This highlights how spanking a child will weaken the respect that is needed between child and parent.
Children can also get mental problems because of spanking such as killing themselves. Children start to think about why they were born and asking themselves if they should live in a world where they just get spanked all the time. Therefore, parents who spank their children should change their minds about spanking their children. Spanking children is not a good way to discipline them because children will have bad relationships with parents and other people. For example, children who are usually spanked by their parents have problems with them because of spanking, so children will become more aggressive with other people who are around them.
