Do you believe it is the envoironment we are raised in that make us do bad things or creates bad people or are all humans born with a certain badness in them?
Or is it necessary to do bad things sometimes, as badness is just a word?

1_what is BAD ?
i think people who use their abilities and potentials in wrong way {based on common sense judgments} do bad things
2_how our abilities and potentials come from?
it seems those come from a mixed of our EMOTIONS,INTELLIGENCE,AND EDUCATIONS.
3_are our abilities and potentials equal?
i don't think so
THUS: i think we are not born pure in the sense of equal.we born with different level of emotions and intelligence but equal level of education{in fact we earn it in environment.}
by education we learn how to manage our emotions and how to use our intelligence.
non_educated people mostly {aware or unaware}do bad things.
..
edit1:your question is important fora theory of JUSTICE,and relate to ORIGINAL POSITION.is our original position equal?

If "pure" refers to sinlessness, I doubt the idea that all humans are born pure. I think when you are born you already possess a certain genetic traits, like being white skin or black and the same thing with being capable of being bad and good. The environment serves as a background wherein some of these traits will become more positive or negative. It's genetic, like some religious people saying we are born with sin and only Jesus Chirst is genetically free from sin and pure.

Yes, I believe all are born pure.
As a child grows they absorb everything about them. From what they see, from what they are taught, to what they are made to believe.
Some are treated well, some are treated badly.
I don't believe it is just the way we are treated or the environment that causes one to be bad, but how we deal with the cirumstances, situations that makes one turn sour.
So the way we are reared contributes, but it is actually the individuals choice whether they allow the past, circumstances or others make them grow with a bitter core.
As children we have no choices. We do as we are told and we live as we are told, but then we come of age and separate ourselves.
People kill, abuse etc and then turn on their pasts to blame for what they did-yet it is them who did the wrong.
Yes, pasts are contribution, but if that person grew without the past troubling them, causing them pyschological pain in adulthood, then there wouldn't be the same degree of crime.
I hope I am making sense here, but there is no spiritualism in schools. Children grow to live, and learn to participate in the rat race. Their lives are passing them by so fast and if one is traumered by abuse, or neglect then those can grow with hidden pain that will need releasing when older.
If children are taught to release the anger, express themselves, accept situations and have confidence to speak out while young, again there would be more adults living in peace with themselves.
You only need to tour the internet to see how many adults are suffering because of childhood trauma, if only they knew how to release this pain when was young, learn how to walk away rather than retaliate; things only possible when one knows how to love themselves as well as others.

Yes we are all born to sin
That is why Jesus died on the cross for us to
to save us from death and to give us eternal life
John 3 v 16:17
For God so loved the world that he gave
his only Son, so that everyone who believe in him
may not parish but may have eternal life
indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn
the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him
Remember Jesus is good and he love you

No way.
Environment provides both good and bad inputs. It is the genes that decide which to take and which to discard. Our genes bring a special kind of filter which makes us choose from whatever is provided by the environment.

Yes. Environment can be a contributing factor for criminal behavior, but there have been people who came from a very difficult environment and still succeeded very successfully in life.
Here we have the variable again.Nothing is 100% predictable.

I think there is a mechanism in everyone's brain that has an evil side right from birth. The environment is what makes that evil side come to surface.

The Original Sin theory is more plausible to me.
