Hum... chicken or the egg??
I will have to side with the egg on this one.
If by society, you mean commercialism and major companies whos only goal is to make us want to buy everything, hence need more money, hence be more greedy???

Than society...
Simple as that.

Greed and anger and boredom are natural born qualities of us as humans. But acting out on those qualities once we attain adulthood becomes a choice. We can strive against our "natural born" qualities in order to cultivate the equally natural born feelings/emotions of love, compassion, charity and self-less service.

Greed is a naturally born desire that we have. You don't have to teach a child to be greedy, it's something that comes from our nature.

We are it.

However, we can't use society's failings as an excuse for our own. Just because as a group we tend to act in unhealthy ways doesn't mean that individuals can't rise above it.

America is a 'do-it-yourself' government. It doesn't work unless we push it - though the government does push itself sometimes. I think that 'we' make it greedy. Who is the government in America? We the people are!

We make ourselves what we are through awareness.

We are society.

It is impossible to be greedy if one is aware that greed kills the soul.

Awareness is the key.

i would say both, even though its harder for people to make it day to day, because society is showing that people don't really care about the others who live next to them
