Listen "The Genesis of Evil: Nature, Nurture, and Choice"
Episode Synopsis
Explores the longstanding question of whether people are born evil or shaped into it, emphasizing the roles of both nature and nurture in moral behavior. It highlights key psychological research, including the Stanford Prison Experiment, to show how situational power dynamics and perceived responsibilities can quickly lead ordinary individuals to engage in harmful or cruel actions.The passage also examines the biological perspective, referencing extreme cases like Amarjit Sada, the world’s youngest known serial killer, to suggest that genetic predispositions—such as chromosomal anomalies—may influence behavior. Nevertheless, it underscores that individual choice remains a critical factor in determining whether someone acts in harmful or unethical ways.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/life_notesProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
