The concept of being "good" or "bad" is a social construct and is determined by the laws or morals of a community. In order to say someone is "good" determines on your outlook of what is good vs bad to you and your peers.
For example, one community might say it is bad to kill animals and use their flesh for food where another community says it is good because the act feeds people. Who determines which side is really good or bad in this scenario? One might say that it depends on a majority of societies in the world, where another will say it depends on which side you are raised. Either way, are you good or bad for eating meat and encouraging other to do the same? Are you good or bad for not eating meat and not wanting others to do the same?

If we were to remove every thing, action, or language in the world that we perceive as "bad", what will be used to determine what is good and vice versa? Because human nature always sees the good and bad in everything, the truth is that good and bad cannot exist without the other. If we stopped all murder, rape, theft, and assaults in the world, we would always find something to put people in jail. The next capital offenses may be jaywalking, skipping jury duty, or spitting gum on the ground. Even if you do not see these things as horrible crimes today, if they were the worst criminal offenses, you would think the people as evil.
