All human beings have good and evil within them. Most people act good most of the time, while very few people act evil most of the time. The many people who act good do it because they have a reputation for being good that they feel they must keep. Another reason a lot of people don't act evil is because later on, after a person has done their evil deed, they may feel shame or remorse for what they have done, and it will go on their conscience. More than occasionally, people consider that it may not be as fun or as easy to do what is considered "good" but they usually do realize that if they do something evil and they are caught, that there will most likely be consequences. Most people would like to avoid consequences and overall avoid getting in trouble in the first place.
