Nature vs Nurture ( Possible Spoilers )

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2004)

I've read many posting on this website and I have yet to see anyone ask one of the most important questions that remain unanswered. If the Elder for the Village came there to avoid the miserable, cruel, hateful "outside" world, did they believe that it is the environment that we live in that makes us how we are and not how we are born? Does it not seem evident to some that no matter how "pure" you make a community, there will eventually be someone who does NOT want to follow the rules and does not fear the consequences of his/her actions? That Utopia does not exist and is not possible because of the "built-in" evilness in humankind?
Just a thought!
