Answer:

Human nature is evil; its good derives from conscious activity. Now it is human nature to be born with a fondness for profit. Indulging this leads to contention and strife, and the sense of modesty and yielding with which one was born disappears. To be truly evil, someone must have sought to do harm by planning to commit some morally wrong action with no prompting from others (whether this person successfully executes his or her plan is beside the point) Mencius. Mencius argues that human nature is good, understanding human nature as the innate tendency to an ideal state that's expected to be formed under the right conditions. Therefore, humans have the capacity to be good, even though they are not all good.

Meter influences all of the following in a poem except it's
AlladinOne [14]
We don't have any poems to pick one which isn't affected by meter. If we see the list, we can find one that isn't affected by one. A quick note about meter, from an aspiring poet: meter is always there, even if it isn't followed. Most poets typically write in free verse, but a meter typically reveals itself throughout, even if it is a loose one. So ultimately, meter is always there in poems, but some definitely follow it more closely than others.
