In C.G. Jung's work, he emphasizes that contemporary humans are not inherently more evil than those from ancient times or primitive societies. Instead, the difference lies in the advanced tools and technologies available today, which allow individuals to act on their darker impulses more efficiently and on a larger scale.

This perspective highlights that the potential for wrongdoing has always existed within humanity. What has changed is the capacity to execute harmful actions, leading to greater consequences in the modern world. Jung’s analysis invites reflection on the ethical implications of our tools and the responsibility that comes with them.
