Are people inherently good and just learn to be evil from their surroundings or is evil something that is born in the person?

We all are born with free will, where we go with it is a matter of choose. We give up that free will by accepting beliefs with out question. We give up our free will by making bad decisions, getting addicted to drugs,alcohol,gambling or sex, once caught up we will do things against against our will and common sense. So I'd have to say the things we do that are "evil" are learned,environmental,not questioning our actions and not finding the true nature we were born with.

it would want to count number on how one defines the words. Childen are innocuous at beginning for sure, yet by technique of two the common newborn is a touch sociopath. As an developmental psychologist once spoke of, if 2 3 hundred and sixty 5 days olds weighed 2 hundred kilos...we'd want to all be in large difficulty. commonly ninety 5% of those 2 3 hundred and sixty 5 days olds then study the thanks to empathize with human beings and care about them and frequently be more effective or a lot less good people. i'd say that merely about all each individual is born with tremendous means for evil or good, it is as a lot as us which to augment.

100% learned. Evil is doing intentional harm to innocent people. A human would not intentionally harm another person intentionally if they were brought up right. There just happens to be alot of bad parents.

We are born unto sin.Salvation and being saved and following the word of God to save us from our sins.EVIL on the other hand is a learned way of life.People who are evil tend to be from abusive homes,watch violent television and violent video games.They read books about hatred and evil.They have learned to be evil.

Evil is a natural state. Those who live apart from others have no concept of being nice, so being nice is the learned state.

Evil is a societal learned behavior in order to fit in with the crowd.

I think it can be both..Some little kids are mean for no reason,without being taught to be. Some just think they have no reason for being kind.So there are,as many evil persons,as many possibilities.
