How about:
Why some humans are Evil:
Some my think that humans are always nice. Some think they are always mean. What's the solution? All of them are EVIL. It all took place a million years ago, when Richard still roamed the earth...

Here's a good paper:
'Stupidity is evil. Therefore, everyone in the U.S.A. is evil... Actually? Screw that. You're all fucking retarded, evil bastards. I hate this class. I hate you. Kill yourself.' Then just copy+paste 'I HATE YOU YOU SUCK' for the next three pages.

I think that Nietsche wrote something about Man being evil, go google it~!
Humans being evil is a very subjective subject. Firstly it is important to establish what is meant by the term 'evil'. Most human societies have some form of moral-code prohibiting the killing of other humans in all but exceptional situations, indeed the killing of another person is seen by many as a fairly distasteful action even in those situations. The killing of someone who is defenseless is almost universally an act which is considered to be past the line dividing acceptable and unacceptable behavior which defines what can be considered 'evil'.
It is not untill the neolithic with agriculture and thus the stratification of society caused by agricultural surpless (De Laet, 371, 1994) ((History of Humanity Volume 1, Prehistory and the beginings of civilisation, UNESCO, Paris)) that property becomes an important factor in human lives, appearing in graves with some graves being more richly endowed in goods than others (De Laet, 371, 1994). Thus it can be argued that almost all property based perceptions of good or evil stem from social stratificiation occuring due to an agricultural surpless (Martin Carver, PersComm, December 2007).
Theres my 150 odd word attempt from a vaguely Archaeological view.
Nietsche is a good thing for this task too. Other than than try disecting the various laws and moral bits of advice in the bible if you think you can get away with it without being attacked for it and don't mind viewing a religious text as an interesting bit of history not as the word of a deity.

Well, you could go into a history of atrocities: The Egyptian enslavement of the Jews, the Roman genocide of the Chistians, the crusades, the chinese genocide of Koreans, the genocide of the Native Americans, Slavery, The civil war, WWI The Armenian Genocide, WWII, The Holocaust, Apartheid, the Cold War, Saddam Hussein, The Sierra Leone rebellion, the Rwandan genocide, the Bosnian Genocide, Jihad in general... I could go on and on.
oh I think plato and aristoteles were of the opinion that Man was intrinsically good sooo you could but those opposite to nietsche and maybe sade or something and make a comperative things of it.

I enjoyed the first paragraph and i must say your English is, well amazingly ... i dont have words to describe it lol.
Anyhow I reconsise what your trying to say, simply put "taboo"
Money is the root of all evil. Only humans have money. Money is the root of humanity.
Pad that out a little and you're done.
Pad that out a little and you're done.
and gold,rubies and other shinies!
I think you misunderstood what I meant by "pad".
Does it need to be necessarily about one of the "deadly sins," 'cause that's been played out time after time... you could make a suggestion that humans are like cancer, we just keep multiplying and destroying for as long as we wish. I know it's in one of those general "sins" themes, but that's why they're generalities. If you don't mention them it may seem less like one of the many other essays that cites them incessantly. I'm using cancer as the idea just for the fact that it gets a great emotional reaction from people, and you know that means a heated debate about how humans are/aren't like cancer. Hope that might help ya.
An English paper is after one of two things. Creativity - which you can't fake - or Referencing Texts - which you won't get here.
Imo just sit down with a piece of paper put any ideas that pop in your head on a paper pick the one you like the most and go from there...i've never had much luck from asking other people what i should write about.....we all have different views and ideas and you cant necissarily take something from someone elses opinions and write a paper about it, what if the teacher asks you how you came up with the idea? or why you do/dont feel so strongly about it
For sake of argument:
Man isn't 'evil.' Evil is subjective to the person's point of view and the situation. Man is inherently an animal and with such an association (go seek Darwin if you want to go more into depth on the evolution of Man), it stands to reason that he will be a complex structure of both self-absorption and socialism. While we require the need of a 'pride' we will always resort to doing something because we want to or it benefits us ans a singular person. Even the seven deadly sins stem from our selfish needs.
Example: 1. Lust -- To pleasure ourselves.
2. Envy -- To want something for ourselves
3. Greed -- To want material for ourselves
4. Gluttony-- To want to indulge ourselves
Praepropere - eating too soon
Laute - eating too expensively
Nimis - eating too much
Ardenter - eating too eagerly
Studiose - eating too daintily
Forente - eating too fervently
5. Wrath-- To wish harm on others to benefit ourselves
6. Sloth -- To be lazy when one chooses not to do anything
7. Pride -- That's just selfishness embodied.
It is becoming obvious that man cannot just avoid passions. Nature made man to live his authentic life in and with these passions, that for one to talk of passionless man is to be self contradicting. What is man if not a bundle of passions unfolding itself? If this proposition should serve as a definition, then it has the tendency of reducing man to the level of animals that are only instinctual. There is no doubt hence that man is an animal sundered from the rest by his rationality. Rationality makes man what he is. If rationality is removed from man, even for a second, he would definitely return to his animalistic stage where only instinct rules. But despite this, it seems that the animalistic nature of man, most often than not imposes on him the tendency to live beyond the expectations of his rational self. What would have cause this except that man easily succumb to the dictates of his irrational self, sometimes, to the detriments of his rational being. The irrational self in man should be our concern in this work and this is what I regard as passions of man.
We should not also neglect the fact that passions of man is not only negative or opposing to virtues. They are not totally wrong and misleading. This is a fact. Passions build man, and the same passions destroy him. Passions are like fire. When fire is well guarded and controlled, it becomes the most reliable servant and friend you can ever think of. On the contrary, if you leave fire to grow wild, destruction is imminent. Likewise, guarded passions breeds an authentic man. Man devoid of passion is already in his grave. Passions of man serve him better when the man in question is capable of controlling it. Our act of the mind called will-power is therefore essentially needed for these passions to be put in check. When one’s will-power is weak, passions are capable of playing its destructive games on the person. Will-power is an act of the mind, born out of rationality endowed to man, that enables him to make decision on his own and hold on to that decision no matter the consequences that would eventually follow. Every rational man suppose to have this will-power. It is this will-power that is nursed to control our passions. It tells us when to act, when to withdraw from action, when to react and the manner to do so.
Passions are as bad in grade as their being good. They build good and serene human society, but later destroy it. Passion is a servant as well as a master. In either of these two, it goes to the extreme. Man, being naturally engrossed in passion could not get himself liberated from it. Man is ontologically, a product of passion. To this extent, we could remember that even the very semen that produced man was released at the climax of passion. Following this example, one could reason with me that it is practically impossible to remove passion when issues relating the whole being of man is being discussed.
From birth, man moves towards his passions. His passions increase daily as the child is gradually growing into a man. The passion to survive moves the child to weep whenever it is hungry or tasty. This unconscious behaviour is to impose compassion on those around, for them to satisfy its demands. Passion has led many to sexual gratifications. Sexual tendency as a passion in animal pushes it intercourse which invariably leads to prolongation of the animal species. Passion has tied up friends in an unconditional love. The same passion has made a mother to offer her own life in order to save her child. Passion to dominate, has built up many destructive weapons that keep many weaker societies in great fear of being trampled upon by their stronger counterparts. United Nations is a product such a passion. Passion of anger has terribly destroyed many homes, sent many to their early graves and violated seriously the law of human rights. When passions have nothing positive to contribute to the society and the well being of mankind, such passion is regarded as being erroneous. Many other atrocities committed by erroneous passions can never be totally exhausted here and now. But by the way of introduction, I just want to create the awareness that the most terrible enemy of mankind has been discovered. It has been eating deep into the marrows of men, undiscovered. I have the intention then to unmask the enemy who is no other person except the unthinking self in man. The irrational self, otherwise called passion.

Bravo Lisa. acceptance of passion wihout being ruled by it. Sounds like Nietzsche's Ubermensche.

I'm a man of evil... He once had me write a paper on how domestic violence was bad.. and something like that..
I knew he was abused while he was a child, and i didnt care i wrote about how it was their problem not mine and for them to be strong enough to do something about it... actually my paper was alot meanier, but yeaaa

Who hasn't done that? There are millions of people who are "christian" because they were told to be and most of them drop it at the wave of your hat.
I've made two people rethink the idea that all human beings are good deep inside (one abandoned it, the other concluded that while it's true sometimes that part is so deep you may as well abandon it) but that doesn't make me an excellent rationalist. It just makes me a very horrible person.

Did you not pay attention to anything I wrote or did the massive amounts of passionate knowledge escape you? Honestly, its a different way of seeing Man not as the civilized being he portrays himself as but rather as the member of the animal kingdom he naturally is.
