What do you believe?
Are we naturally good, but corrupted by the evils of society?
Are we evil?
Are we bad, but may be saved because we're loved?
etc..

Well, most people seem good in their own way, but there are still the bad ones. At the same time, what defines good and bad, do we consider something "bad" just because most people don't like it, while that person might see it as good because it brings them joy.

Great, here I go getting all philosophical, I'm shutting up now.

i think whether we think a particular person is gud or bad, it depends on our choice and r own persona. a person i lik mit not b likd bi sum1 els. i av met ppl who i thaut wer bad buh perhaps dy mite seem gud to others. so i alone am not capable of judging ani1.

i would say neither but everyone is potentially capable of both, just depends on our life experiences

basicly it all stems from other people.

basically good

+1
Every person is born innocent, but ironically enough- it's other humans nurturing that mold the child into either a good person or a bad. Take Edgar Burroughs' novel Tarzan of the Apes, without the taint of civilization he depicted a man raising himself under natural morals of right and wrong based on instinct. Could this really happen? Probably not, along with the nature theory as conflict, no human is able to raise themselves at any age younger then adolescence and by then we've already established most of our permanent negative traits.

Both...it just depends on the environment your raised in and how you absorb information.

I believe it is a combination of both nature and nurture.
