That was the questions posed to my daughter this week in, I think, her lit class. I'm listening to her while trying to get correct instructions to a friend's house "who lives up on the west hill of Auburn somewhere, near Serena's"
Most of the kids, 14 and 15 year olds, voted for that most people are, intrinsically bad. Which made me turn my head, and miss the turn off to said friend's house.
"But I voted that most of them are good," she added.
"So let me get this straight, they think most of the people are, on the inside, bad, but they do good things because......?"
"Because it benefits them," J. responded.
Okay.
That's a troubling view of the world, even from jaded 15 year olds.
