Every man, woman, has to look no farther than the end of their nose to see the roots of evil, it is in their hearts. Don't blame it on a big machine when the small machine is waiting to take over.
Denial of the right of life is in the power of humanity's little voting finger.
As far as inheritance, evryone should file legal documents to receive this. Good fences make good neighbors, or at least keeps them from trying to steal the obvious.

The cause of evils is simply genetic or inherited qualities. Many genes may be involved (phylogenetic) but is sure that lack of education, repressive regimes, denial of right of life or poverty is not the cause of all evils. But unfortunately the popular notion is against this because our philosophers and rulers preach against this aspect of genetic origin. Some studies on the cause of evils (crime) is given below:
High rates of criminality tend to run in families. The persons who frequently commit the most serious crimes typically begin their criminal careers at a quite young age. Persons who turn out to be criminals usually do not do very well in school. Programmes designed to rehabilitate high-rate offenders have not been shown to have much success, and those programmes that do manage to reduce criminality among certain kinds of offenders often increase it among others.
The baby boom may help explain why crime rose in 1960s and 1970s, but it cannot explain why some members of that boom became criminals and others did not…. Many children may attend bad schools, but only a small minority become serious criminals… Economic crime rates were lower in the great Depression than during the prosperous years of the 1960s … The sentences given by judges may affect the crime rate, but we are struck by the fact that the most serious criminals begin offending at a very early age--long before they encounter, or probably even hear of, judges…. Racism and Capitalism may contribute to crime. But crime has risen in the US (and other nations) most rapidly during recent times, when we have surely become less racist………High crime rates can be found in socialist as well as capitalist nations, and some capitalist nations, such as Japan and Switzerland, have very little crime… Crime existed abundantly long before the advent of television and would continue long after any hint of violence was expunged from TV Programme…….. All blacks suffer from racism, yet relatively few blacks become high rate offenders……Religion is not as pervasive a part of family life in Japan as it is in many Latin-American nations; despite this crime rates are much lower in Japan than in the Latin countries.
There is no “crime gene” and so there is no such thing as a “born criminal” but some traits that are to a degree heritable, such as intelligence and temperament, affect to some extent the likelihood that such individuals will engage in criminal activities……..We believe that criminal behaviour, like all human behaviour, results from a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Our knowledge of this interaction is not yet good enough to permit anyone to say with confidence how much of the variation in the law violating behaviour of people can be attributed to genetic and how much to environmental factors. But we do know enough to be fairly confident that criminal behaviour cannot be explained wholly by reference to the social circumstances in which an individual finds herself or himself.
Johannes Lange, a German physician, located thirty pairs of same-sex twins of which at least one was a known criminal. Lange concluded that thirteen of the pairs were identical (monozygotic) and seventeen fraternal (Dizygotic). He then noted that in ten of the thirteen pairs of MZ twins, both were criminal, while in only two of the seventeen pairs of DZ twins were both criminal.
Karl Christiansen reviewed nine studies of twins, all but one of which concluded that criminal behaviour had a partial genetic basis mixed with environmental factors.
If the genetic disposition towards crime was combined with an apparently independent genetic disposition toward alcoholism, the crime tended to be more violent than otherwise..…..Males are five to fifty times as likely to be arrested, as are females….Almost all chronic adult offenders were also juvenile offenders; most of them were, in fact, chronic juvenile offenders.
To many people, it would seem absurd to imagine that low intelligence could have an important effect on individual differences in criminality.…. In fact there appears to be a clear and consistent link between criminality and low intelligence. People obviously vary in intelligence, and to most observers, it is apparent that the variations are somewhat inherited great or lesser talents, as well as major or minor intellectual disabilities, seem to run in families, much the same way as height or physique or hair colour.,…Despite over forty years of confirmation, the correlation between intelligence and crime has yet to penetrate most of the textbooks or the environmental wisdom of criminology… Most recent evidence, based on a variety of intelligence tests, consistently reveals a difference of about 8 points between the mean 1Q’s of delinquent and the general population.
David Bayley in 1976 estimated that the risk of being robbed was 208 times greater in the United States than it was in Japan……. A newspaper article recently reported concern among Japanese authorities over a rise in senseless street murders, which had brought the total for their entire nation for the year of 1982 up to thirteen. The American newspaperman observed that a single bad weekend in New York City would result in thirteen street murders……Japan is an industrialized and urbanized nation. Its cities are more than three times as densely packed with people as cities in the US. About 70 percent of each country’s population in urban……Japan has fewer police officer percapita than the US…… Statutory penalties for given crimes are less severe in Japan than in the US………. The per capita number of lawyers in Japan is about one-seventeenth what it is in US….. The average Japanese IQ score is about 110, well above that for any country for which data are available…… Japan therefore has smaller fraction of its population in the range of scores between 60 and 100, the range at highest risk for criminal behaviour….. In virtually every society, there are differences in crime rate among some social and ethnic groups. Americans of Chinese and Japanese origin have significantly lower criminals than other Americans…… During the 1960s, one neighborhood in San Francisco had the lowest income, the highest unemployment rate, the highest proportion of families with income under $4000 per year, the least education attainment, the highest tuberculosis rate, and the highest proportion of substandard housing of any area of the city. The neighborhood was called Chinatown. Yet in 1965, there were only five persons of Chinese ancestry committed to prison in the entire state of California.
Men are, on the average five to fifty times as likely to commit crime as women and young persons are, on the average, two to four times as likely to commit crimes as older ones……Blacks are about one-eights of the American population but accounted in 1980 for about one half of al those arrested for murder, rape and robbery and for between one-fourth and one-third of all those arrested for burglary, larceny, auto theft, and aggrieved assault.
Wolfgang, Figlio and Sellin found that at every socioeconomic level and among blacks as well as whites, delinquents had lower IQ scores than non-delinquents……High-rate offenders, black or white, begin to manifest delinquent behaviour quite early in life, often in the elementary school grades, long before they would have had any direct experience with the labour market and become discouraged with a futile search for jobs.
