We teach our children to fear or overcome a fear, to hate or have a loving attitude. Look at the children in the sandbox. Most are building and filling their pails. One, the bully, steps on the castles, throws sand in the eyes. They are all the same age.
Society is lucky, most are nice.
It was there that I learned that the good of society is far more important than one's right to personal privacy. I have two kids who are very different. Same parents, same environment. I believe that nature dominates over nurture, although nurture has some influence. If you say you can or that you can't, you're probably right.
