The old nature vs. nurture question.. by right or wrong i mean within our streotypical morals.. are some people genetically more likely to be a thief, drug dealer, drug addict, violent etc. than others? Im writing a paper for school, and just wanted some of your thoughts..

Yes, one can be genetically predisposed to more risk taking, anti-social behavior. However, I believe a great deal has to do with culture. You don't see equally proportionate amounts of people trying to kill and maim other people up as in the US as in say the territories under the control of the Palestinian terrorists, or the banlieues of Paris.

The minds of humans are as different
as their finger prints - no two are
alike. What is wrong for one may be
write for another. Further, what is
viewed as right in youth period, like
eating animal food, may be felt as
wrong in later periods of life or
visa versa.

The influences of the environment are responsible for who we become. We learn by observation. However we are brought up determines our fate, but our free will is what controls it.
