Quote:  “Good and evil mean practically the same as noble and despicable; it is off difference origin, the cowardly, the timid, the insignificant and those thinking merely of narrow utility are despised.”

    I choose this statement because this means that every people has a possibility to become a bad and good person, it depends on how they implement their attitude but this show that good and evil are practically the same, I think this will become the same if the good person do the write thing for personal action this is consider good while bad.

Review:

            To begin this chapter let me first discuss who the author of this chapter he is Friedeich Nietzsche, he is a German philosopher and poet, and he has the idea of modern existentialism and deconstructionism view. To start with the topic slavery is legal system with the connection to the government. All slavery has a people under the system and they will this slave this is force to serve the other people called Master or Slave owner. This will show how the morality affects the slavery system. For the present era this slave system is wrong and not allowed because every person has the right to become a normal not to become slave even if they are poor.
