Can ordinary people do evil? Why are humans so comfortable hurting each other? Is there a line where human compassion finally kicks in?

Yes, ordinary people can do evil. Anyone can perform evil acts or act evil. We are animals that have formed a society based around love, but love and hatred come from the same place. Love and hatred (which cause us to do such evil things,) are extremely strong emotions. When we are too overwhelmed by such hatred, we forget our compassion and let rage take over to perform evil acts. When the hatred calms, we see what our emotions have led to, leading to feel compassion for those we hurt. It is also in our natural instincts that we compete with eachother, much like other animals. This is why we are so comfortable hurting eachother.

Hope this helps, sorry if it is too long! :)

conflicting values are demonstrated between two different groups in animal farm. first, the farm animals value hard work. this is shown by them working late and working long hours at the request of the pigs. napoleon and the pigs, however, sleep late daily. furthermore, the animals value equality. this differs from the value of napoleon and the other pigs. instead of equality, they value only gaining power and maintaining their own privilege, which is demonstrated by their taking extra milk and sleeping in beds.
