Nature AND nurture. Must have both.

MADE. It is completely how they are raised, the society they live in, the people they choose to be their friends. There is no way that someone could ever be "born" as a sociopath.

First they are born. But society allows them to grow up. Sociopaths are a by-product of socialism, which undercuts environmental pressures that would otherwise weed out their destructive tendencies.
As a society, we foster a sense of entitlement. When that entitlement is then denied, it leads to a kind of resentment; that triggers a 'born with' tendency to split from society with that complete lack of empathy, which defines a sociopath.

It form of relies upon. sometimes you hear thoughts of murderers and rapist who had no abusive new child hoods. even although frequently maximum come from poor reviews. the unusual element i detect is that maximum rapist have been raped of their new child hood by using a family members member or some thing. strange. It isn't clever how in case you have been raped and comprehend the shame of it why you may do it to different human beings, yet i assume some human beings's brains have experienced plenty trauma that their thoughts and capacity to experience symphony has vanished. you comprehend that little voice that tells you, "do no longer do this that's incorrect?" properly sociopaths have not got that. whilst they rape and kill it has no result on their recommendations. that's as organic as ingesting a espresso to them. So my answer is that it relatively is probable the two reckoning on the guy and whether or no longer they have had hectic reviews.

I believe Sociopaths (aka Anti-Social Personality) are a product of both nuture and nature.

Sociopaths have mental health issues early on in life,but certain situations growing up contribute to their mental illness.For example,Charles Manson was a pretty normal kid until his mother exposed him to her sexually explicit career as a prostitute.I think his mothers neglect,and her occupation combined made him the man he became.He was full of rage.

I think it's both. I used to work for a neuropsychologist and he proved that there were imperfections in the brain that you are born with that can make you this way. Others may do it by choice.

I think yes they are born, but I also know that through environment one can surcome to behaviors like that of a sociopath. It is a terriable waste of a human being and most difficult to treat or detect since most of them are loners.

It could be a combination of both, but if you look at people like Ted Bundy, his 'case' would suggest they are born. The same with Jeffrey Dahmer; nothing 'tragic' happened to either; neither were abused, yet both were horrendous killers.

There is a level of personal responsibility that goes along with the choices we make, but I think how people are treated, especially when they are children/young adults has a great influence on what type of person we become.

Both. I believe they are born with a genetic defect. But also something happens to them in their life to trigger their behavior.
