Like, I know I have talked about something similar before, but if you just had a kit in an empty room, born, would that kid automatically be a good person?


And how vulnurable are our senses of right and wrong when it comes to our upbringing?
If you end up with racist parents, then will you be a racist?

I think we are very vulnurable when it comes to our morals, I think we can easily be one way or another depending on the influences in our lives.

I guess that depends on who you are and what you believe. Yes I do believe if you were taught to be racist, you don't see nothing wrong. You believe what or how you feel is right. BUT society as a whole will teach you the correct way.. idk its really weird.. we are very vulnerable

There are two types of morals: universal morals and cultural morals. Universal morals are as we know it; respect your parents, treat the elderly well, cleanliness, speak nicely, honesty etc. And then there are cultural morals, which are different in each society like in the US where it would be rude not tip in restaurant for great service, but this practice is not rude elsewhere and so on.

Ultimately, you're a product of the environment you were brought up in. The values of your family and nation, the friends you hang around shape the person you become.

I do think morals are degrading worse than ever.

Have your own morals and understanding.

The "cookie cutter" reality, and "appeasement".

Now, if I feel someone will take something entirely TOO PERSONALLY, I might just give them what they want, depending on the situation.

You're the only one who would know wether you're racist or not.

Nope, some people are subconsciously racist, and someone else has to point it out.

People subconsciously display racist hatred or bias, all the time.

Id say that there are a lot of factors that can influence a thing like this.
