Nature vs Nurture, are we born good/evil or raised that way

[kenshin]

I think it's a little bit of both...some people are born with chemical imbalances in their brains which affect how they act physically and well as how they think mentally...the environment obviously affects the personalities and characteristics a person has...that's understandable...if a child was molested or beaten when he/she was little, they have an increased chance of being bad or falling into the wrong crowd as an adult...this is why there are some drug addicts, they use drugs as an escape from previous misfortunes...

It overall depends on a number of factors.

Mentioning few examples from our practical life--

Two children in a family. Both are brought up the same way from the same parents with the same teachings. In the end, one becomes a doctor and the other ends up as a terrorist.

A religious child comes up from a non-religious family.

Now my parents had always taught me how to lead my life in the best possible way. But as i grow up, few incidents come along my way of life and I start taking drugs. My father will have a heart attack if he comes to know about it and my mother will die on the spot. ----You cant say it happened for I was not reared up in the proper way.

Then again, some things are said to be in our blood. Like, I have few bad habits and my grandmother says they comes from my great-grandfather. no wonder he died long before I was born. So, some things are meant to be in our blood.


The above situations are mentioned to explain, no one is born good/bad. ANd parents cannot always be blamed for what a child is doing. It depends on the situation always.

I think no one is born evil. they tend to derailed mostly due to their own actions and choices however the happening in their surroundings may have a little affect on them.

I think genetically there r some instincs we can not deny.. and we have some characterestics that we inherrte fom our AScenders... but we humans can protect ourselves from evil things if our family take good care of our selves... And Now jolrong ..if u get addicted.. thats not in yor blood its bcoz u found the easiest way to make u feel good in yor env, was drugs..and ..here... yor env is responsible....
