Invisible Man Big Question

The speaker in the book Invisible Man, goes through a lot of different social environments and experiences many different kinds of people. He met good people, bad people, and people who's hearts were in the right place, but just never found a good way to achieve their goals. What would the speaker say when faced with the question "Is mankind inherently good or bad?" The person who stands out the most when thinking of this question, is Ras the Exhorter, and later Ras the Destroyer. He is one of the people who's heart is in the right place, but never found an effective way of achieving his goals. He was molded by his experience. He had a dream, that was his goal. His experiences shaped his actions while trying to achieve that goal. If you compare the people we know and interact with to Ras, we are all shaped by our experieces. So mankind isn't inherently good or inherently bad. It depends on where the person in question was born, what his experiences were, and the people he grew up with.
