Personally I think we started out really good but then as time went on we started to turn bad. As soon as the first person staked out some land or food as theirs we turned greedy and etc. Just by nature I mean. You can always be good and their are good natured people out there but then again there are plenty of bad people which is why we have government and laws to protect against crime.
I mean if you could steal without consequences you would do it right? You wouldn't try to refrain from it by the goodness in your heart?

Human are born with nothing in their mind except Animalistic Instincts.
What parents do is to fill those nothingness with new information. So if parents teach the child to be very bad, the child will be naturally very bad from the heart. If parents teach the child to be very good, the child will be naturally very good from the heart. If parents teach nothing, child will lack in emotions. If parents teach nothing but is often out there in society, child will easily be affected by the society. If parents keep their children away from society, child will lack in social skills (I don't mean that they don't interact. They will interact in, what we call, a weird way.)
Parents are indoctrinators. -

idk... they started off, really boyband-ish, then they turned motown....
hooray for turning their main audience from 12 year old girls to 40 year old women!
persoanlly, i liked the boyband version, mainly for the way-too-plastic look which didn't differ from boyband to boyband -

I am more or less with Rex on this one, I see humans as a blank slate when they are born, just what they are exposed to will determine how they behave.

A person's true nature is tested by predicaments. So I would say that human nature never changes, it only reveals itself through trying times.
