To begin bluntly, there is definitely no absolute good or evil in the world. People are simply that; mortal, flawed, beings that cannot reach either extreme. Nobody can claim to be 100% good or evil. Even if you want to look at examples in media, nearly every hero you see is flawed in some way, and nearly every villain experiences a moment that tugs on his/her heartstrings or makes them realize, if only for a moment, that what they're doing is wrong. Every person exhibits characteristics of both good and evil.
In the real world, this mainly comes down to a discussion of morals. Is a person compelled to do the right thing, or do they consistently do the wrong thing? Morals are one of the biggest driving forces in the decisions people make on a daily basis. Those without morals are essentially unrestricted in their actions, but I don't think there's a person on earth who suffers from a COMPLETE lack of morals. So therefore everyone has some(however minor) inclination to do good.
There is no direct "battle" going on in today's world between good and evil. In war, each side thinks they are right, don't they? Everyone is just trying to live their life, with some doing more good than others along the way.
