Sure any work can have a negative effect on society but I think it lies more in ones perspective then anything else. We all have a different view of morals, values and how society should be run and when an idea conflicts with those views we see it as negative. In the end its all about a free exchange of ideas, anybody is free to be won over by any ideology that speaks to them and ultimately those ideas will be held up to public scrutiny and left to wither and die or flourish on their own merits.
I think there is so much to be gained from that free exchange of ideas that it more then makes up for the odd controversial or negative ones that might do more harm then good.
How many ideas that were controversial a generation ago are now held as commonly accepted ideas and beliefs?
