They're born with a tendency one way or the other, then choose whether or not to follow it. It's a combination of nature and nurture.

People are born bad and do good things. Another words people are born with some evil in them and it takes active discipline to make them do good deeds. That's why children steal and hit eachother naturally. It's only when parents interupt them and teach them good that they are able to do so.
My baby cousin naturally shares her toys. No one really taught her and at the time she didn't have any siblings. She just started giving her toys to other family members. This made me doubt my theory of people being born bad. It appeared she was naturally good!
But then the other day she spat on me. Shes likes seeing the reaction people get from getting spat on. She's evil and needs discipline. I think this is true for everyone. Some people need more discipline than others. Some people grow to care more about others. But initially, it's every man/woman for themselves.

I believe people are born bed and they really do is bad things. Those good things done by bad people are only ways to fool others in other they be able to do their bed thing...and why? well, because is in their nature, they seem not be able to help themselves. The same way a good person is incapable of doing bad, because that action causes pain for themselves, those who does bed takes pleasures of their action.
Again, the reason is in their nature.

I don't believe either of these. People become the way they are by their influences throughout life. The parents have a lot to do with it also. Baby's are born, a clean slate. And it's up to the parents to figure out, how they're going to make a good impact on their childs life.

All people are born equal. The way their parents raise them and the way they live effect if they will be bad or good. I am good, but I just have to do something bad. I know what is right, but decide to do wrong.

People are born yes. Parenting develops behaviour of the child.
Learning respect and right and wrong. If a child knows not these things then they will be bad people.

I believe people are born neutral and the society they grow up in labels them good or bad. The whole concept of good and bad is really defined by the people with the authority to say "you are bad/good." You have your genes, and then you have your upbringing. After that, it's all basically hit or miss.

Neither of the above, as every individual person learn such things, for some people bad is good and to others good is bad!
Humans have made their Laws. What was good in past history now is against the Law. e.g. incest.

"Good" and "bad" are labels placed by the person/society judging a particular action or behavior. People are not born either way or doing certain things. It's all just experiences.
