Do you think People are born Knowing the Difference Between Right and Wrong?

I believe that people are born knowing the difference to a certain extent. I'm not a psychologist or anything like that. But I also don't believe people are just intrinsically ignorant to right and wrong. Now, for a lot of things, it depends on how you were raised and the environment you were around.

No, I don't . Morality is shaped by nurture, and if anything, I'd argue that nature alone leads us to very selfish acts.

No. It's about how you were raised.

You never had kids if you're asking this question.

i think most people have a conscience, but the ability to follow that conscience (values) is learned.

Yes. We're born with a sin nature, ever since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden.

My parents, teachers, ministers, siblings and peers taught me right from wrong and the environment I was raised in cemented it. And frankly I have very few gray areas.

Ain't that the truth. Those little things are some selfish, good for nothing heathens if you let them be.

Hell no.
Babies are hell bent on destroying everything.

No. Everyone is born a sinner. We have to put effort into doing right.

No they are not. A child's brain is molded by the parents plus outside sources. The parents have to see what effect those outside sources are doing to said child.

I agree with this. Values are shaped by family, friends, leaders and community. If you are raised surrounded by gang violence and that is all you know, then lifting yourself away from that is very difficult.

Ok, I think this is more of what I was thinking.

I think with absolutely no outside influence it boils down to doing what you think is best for you. It sounds selfish, but it can actually be civil and selfless.
I don't think there's an inherent right or wrong.

No, except in the case of mothers having inate and instinctual desires to care and protect young. In some animals, fathers too. Everything else regarding right, wrong, values, etc is nurture.

No, you can have genetic tendencies toward sociopathy but we are mainly a product of our upbringing.
Posted on 7/21/16 at 8:40 am to TigerFanInSouthland
Absolutely not. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and if you've ever had this question spend 10 minutes with them.

I guess you can argue there is a part of you that innately tries to guide decisions, but if you're left to your own faculties from birth, you'll quickly ignore that part and focus on what is best for you, always.
