Assignment 3: Come to the dark side, Luke: Thomas Stokes

I do not believe in absolute evil, or absolute good. Many people that are good have done bad things, and vice versa, many people that are bad have done good things. One example is Aang and Zuko from Avatar, the Last Airbender. In one episode, Aang, the savior of the four nations, lies to two conflicting tribes of people in order for them to get along, and also accidentally burns his first fire bending master; Zuko on the other hand is a banished prince sworn to capture Aang to restore his honor to the Fire Nation, and later in the series (spoiler alert) becomes Aang's fire bending master after realizing his father, the fire lord, is basically crazy, and he needs to help Aang take him down. However, there are many examples of completely neutral parties. These parties aren't morally aligned with either absolute good or absolute evil. One of these examples is the non-bending citizens in season 1 of Legend of Korra, which is the sequel series to Avatar, the Last Airbender. They are a neutral party because they simply want to make a living in the world, but are put behind those with bending.
