From there, it is apparent that evil cannot disappear until we examine our own personal evils and discuss them to gain further insight so that it will vanish from society.
Once we recognize the existence of something that can reasonably be called personal evil, we must then also recognize that it has collective as well as individual dimensions. Organized crime syndicates, militant emerging nations, oppressive social structures, and profit-crazed multinational corporations are, in a real sense, the social extensions of personal evil. On both individual and corporate levels, one of the saddest features of human evil is its strange admixture with good or apparent good. Marriages are wrecked for lack of mutual understanding, educational communities are undermined by disagreement about how to pursue common ideals, political parties are thrown into disarray by excessive ambition, and nations are ripped apart by struggles for power. (Peterson, 1998, p. 4).
Organized crime is becoming indistinguishable from capitalist business while capitalist organizations are behaving more like organized crime groups.
In the midst of the biggest financial rip-off in history of this country, it is clear that within capitalist organizations there are billions of dollars are being misplaced by Savings & Loan criminals who steal and have gotten away with it. This is complete insanity due to the fact how this country defines crimes in society. If a person steals $5, they are considered as a thief, however if they steal $5 million, they are labeled as a financier. Organized Crime has always had a negative label because of the constantly changing environment in America as well as the social state of its homeland. Due to how society defines organized crime, people are convinced that the Mafia consists of criminals, pimps, and murderers. "During the 9th century, the Mafia's main purpose was to strengthen themselves against enemies, which invaded their homeland in Sicily. It was supposed...

Michael Moore so Controversial? Michael Moore was born in 1954 in Flint, Michigan -- "the home of the wealthiest corporation in the world: General Motors." (Roger and Me, 1989). The tragic plight of this once economically booming, blue-collar city is the basis for much of his filmmaking; and it is what formed the foundation for his particular outlook on the state of American society.

Problem of Evil Natural Evil vs. Moral Evil Natural evil is a term that embraces theodicy, in the sense that there are devastating earthquakes, and tornados, tsunamis, and hurricanes, and other terrible weather situations that harm people and communities (Philosophy of Religion).
