Hi Stevenukd The minimum correction that is required is to put also before has . However, the resultant sentence doesn't sound at all good to my ears. English is a language of fixed phrases and my "fixed" sentence would be: There are good and bad people in every country.

Another possibility is to use both: Every society has both good and bad people.
