Of course, a lot depends on the environment in which a person grows up, but not everything. There is such a scientific direction – psychogenetics. One of her research methods is the so-called “Foster Children's Method”. As it turned out, the intelligence and behavioral characteristics of a foster child often depend more on the intelligence and social status of their biological parents than on the foster parents-that is, the environment in which the person was placed. Thus, to consider a person from birth an empty bottle, in my opinion, is not very correct. Some psychological signs are laid in us at the time of conception.�
The concepts of good and bad are so subjective that neither ancient philosophers nor modern philosophers can give them a general and complete definition for the whole of science. For example, from the point of view of pragmatism – good is what is useful.
But is this really the case?
Definitely not born.
But even with” becomes ” there is a subtlety.
Parents and / or some other caregivers somehow form a certain tunnel, but in which direction the child will go in this tunnel, he determines himself.
(at least if you trust a psychologist like E. Bern).
I personally agree that the formation of a personality, including its value system, including its concept of “good/bad”, is largely determined by upbringing, and to some extent whether by conscious/subconscious / unconscious choices of the person himself, but probably no one in the world can deduce the proportion.
And this uncertainty can create the illusion that this or that trait has been present in a person since birth.
It all depends on the society in which a person will be brought up, as well as on his kind. Violent tendencies and other tendencies in general, such as alcoholism, can be passed down through generations. therefore, children of alcoholics usually grow up to be alcoholics.
There is no good or bad. We always evaluate our actions and the actions of others from our bell tower, and what seems terrible to us seems absolutely normal to others. There are concepts of virtue, honesty, charity, but, in my humble opinion, good and evil are vague concepts. If you realize that they don't exist, that the system of moral norms is just like everything else, an artificially introduced thing in society, it will become much easier to live without thinking about whether a good person or a bad one. He's just a human being, but it's up to you to decide whether to contact him or not. That is, for someone you are bad, for another-good, and maybe the best, and vice versa. In general, everything in this world is relative, and each person is an individual!
