Social Do you believe a person can be born evil?

[Takes Two To Tango]

I believe so. Some people regardless of a great upbringing turn to be pretty fucked up.

It's similar to being born with a physical or mental disability imo.

Wow. I'm surprised at the result. It's currently 9 yes, 1 no. The no being me.

I think people are generally molted by their environment they are exposed to. What is acceptable what isn't, actions or thoughts.

Also I might add, doing bad things doesn't necessary make a person evil.

Interesting pov. Thanks for bringing a well thought out counter argument to this.

I don't know about born "evil" but a person can definitely be born a sociopath as psychopathy and sociopathy are strongly linked to genetics.

Whichever chemicals manifest empathy are absent in some.

Hmmm...true.

Ah the old nature v nurture argument.

I think it's largely about triggers. Some people can experience a lot and not get triggered to be 'evil'.

Others don't take much at all to go that way.

Can people be born 'evil'? I guess if damaged or evil people breed, an offspring could possibly be born with such propensity for evil that we may regard them as being born evil.

Tough question. I've met a kid or two that was 'evil' but I'd say they were damaged in their first 10 or so years.

It's prolly a question for people who have exp with young children.

Nicely said, thanks. It's true nature vs. nurture argument. But can someone just be evil from the get go?

I think you can be mentally wired to have zero empathy out the womb what makes it worse is having a poor upbringing without people that care.

I guess maybe. Animals can be bred in regards to temperament traits so I guess in humans evil could be the bad result.
