Daniel Kemp (Aim)

The purpose of the term “Dual nature of man” is to describe the struggle between the two sides of human nature. An old Cherokee Indian describes, “‘It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.’ He continued, ‘The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.’” (Proverb) Human nature has two paths, one for good and one for evil. Everyone has the ability, or the nature, to choose good or evil. Thus, man has two natures and the term “Dual nature of man” describes this struggle.

(Luis Quintero) Historical

The idea of dual nature of man will and does make history. The theory of dual nature of mean will and does cause history because of its truth. Everyone has two opposite personalities per say. One personality wants one thing, and the other wants something else, and for the two personalities to achieve what they want, they have to oppose each others actions. For example, if a man wants to give to others, but he also wants to build his monetary wealth, he has to choose if he wants to be greedy or be giving. Every single person has these kinds of conflicts going on inside them. Dual nature of man has sparked plots and character ideas for many movies and many books including //The Nutty Professor// (1963 and 1996)and //The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde//.

(Matthew Maher) CULTURE PART

The term “Dual nature of man” affects the modern society in literature in what boundaries is good and wrong in characters and text, which it is incorporated into. This can be seen in books like //To Kill A Mockingbird// in the statement by Jim Huffman, “ We simply cannot allow our carefully cloistered youth to be exposed to bigots, even if they are fictional.” (Huffman). In modern society the dual nature of people has a whole has changed in terms of what is okay and what is wrong now the society. A example of this can be for the talk about race in books where this is now seen has wrong, which is why there is posts like these that try ban books. This is the case due to our new modern culture where there is the ideology that any form of text or titles that are directed or not towards an ethnic group. Back then the extend of what was wrong and good back then was not as great compared to what it is today, giving authors back then the ability to write about all kinds of subjects. In this current day there has been changes to books or they just have been ban from libraries. In time the dual nature of our society has a whole will continue change rapidly, because entire culture is on the fact track where new ideologies of everything are coming out that are like a censorship on literature, but there will always be those people that never accept that text for what it is. Wrong and right and what they mean to society will always be changing.
