Who's a Good Guy? Who's a Bad Guy?



Good and bad are two words that are very hard to define. They can have a meaning full of range. One thing is kept consistent between the two words and that is the fact that the words are opposite.  Bad and good are adjectives that are used to describe many things. Each person or groups of people have their own bad guys and good guys. Some may have one and some may have more than one. The good guy can even be the person. To people looking at or watching someone they may think their good guy and bad guy are different. They can be interpreted differently from person to person.
            Good guys and bad guys are seen everywhere in the world. Children read and watch about them all the time.  They are also referred to as heroes and villains. The audience always likes the good guy and cheers for them. In most of the children’s books, movies, and TV shows the good guy will end up winning. The good guy will almost always beat the bad guy in whatever they are trying to do. For example, a good guy and bad guy many people know are Batman and the Joker. Batman comes in many encounters with the Joker and he is always trying to make things difficult for Batman. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman). Batman normally beats him though. This is one example of a good guy and a bad guy. There are many other good guys and bad guys. Many things in life can be put into a good guy bad guy situation. Sometimes good guys and bad guys don’t have to be people but things in life. For example in books sometimes a character is trying to complete something. Something like someone is trying to climb a cliff but the weather was bad so it was hard. The person would be the good guy and the weather would be the bad guy. The bad guy is most of the time the one hurting people. The main character is normally the good guy and anyone hurting him or stopping him from what he is trying to do is the bad guy. The good guys and bad guys are always going up against each other and fighting trying to hurt or stop one another. Good guys and bad guys can widely range. For example Batman and the Joker are a set of good guys and bad guys and so is a character and weather. But weather is something along with many others that can be a good guy or a bad guy. For one person the weather might be a good person but for another it might be a bad. Good guys and bad guys can also be teams. Anyone who helps the main good guy would also be consider a good guy. Anyone who helps the bad guy or goes against the bad guy is consider another bad guy. These are some common examples of good guys and bad guys.
             The Vikings were the type of people who were good guys and bad guys. Vikings did not like monks. They would kill many monks. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikings). In this situation the Vikings would be considered bad guys. But when they were at war and battling they were considered the good guys.  The good guys most of the time are the ones who a lot of people like. If it is between two people the group with the most favor would be considered the good guys because everyone likes them. No one likes the bad guys that is why they are considered bad. In the war situation depending on the person the good guy and bad guy would be different. To people rooting for the Vikings they would be good but for people who don’t like the Vikings they would be considered bad.
                Good guy and bad guy can have many different meanings. There are many different examples of bad guys and good guys. They are used widely around the world and you could find examples in many different situations.
