The topic about human nature has been discussed all the time. Meng Zi said： “one always has a good nature when he was born.” However， another Chinese great man has a totally opposite idea about future. As far as I am concerned， goodness and evil both exist in human nature. The key point we should be clear is： why could someone be good but others not？ Our society always is in disorder because of evil. The reasons of evil of human nature should be classified so society can run in order. In my point， the reasons mainly exist in the education of family and school

Humans education in family， school， even religion has two-side influence to evil of human nature. On the one hand， well-educated people can restrain themselves from evil things. On the other hand， education can mislead people to bad mind. Rationality is a person walked out of the natural state of a fundamental reason， the rational ability itself has a kind regulation and has foresight， enable people to establish the long-term view and produce a kind of desire of peace. In human nature thought of religion， because of the fragility。In western culture， Bible claims there is sin in human nature. This opinion not only gives people a reason to do evil things but also educate people restraining themselves to wash the sin. This is an example to show religions double influences to evil. According to the Bible， "Adam's disobedience corrupted human nature" but God mercifully "regenerates." "Regeneration is a radical change" that involves a "renewal of our human nature." Thus， to counter original sin， Christianity purposes "a complete transformation of individuals" by Christ （Strauss， 1878）. From this， we know how a book， or religion， influence peoples mind. The goal of Christ's coming is that fallen humanity might be "conformed to or transformed into the image of Christ who is the perfect image of God." The New Testament makes clear the "universal need" for regeneration. A sampling of biblical portrayals of regenerating human nature and the behavioral results follow.

We could conclude that： human nature is not always good or evil. A baby has been influenced by the outsiders from the moment he came to the world. The body， from physiology side， is a room where the evil can be product.
