A Man Does Not Born Nor Good Neither Bad

It is not new the idea that we are the result of the space where we are living. In the 18th century, the philosopher Swiss Jean-Jacques Rousseau said that men have a good essence and society had become them worse.

This thinking is not entirely wrong, mainly when we stop to reflect how much our culture induces our decisions, but we are even responsible by our choices. Again, when we stop to think about someone that becomes a thief: “if the place where this person lives have been responsible for it becomes a thief, then why do not anyone next to this person became a thug as well?”

The solution for this question maybe is on the fact that human being was not born “good or bad”, but prepared to make choices and these choices are responsible with how a person is or not. Even people are suffering influences of the place where they are living, it does not have totally the power of “shape” these people, being them responsible to choice among “allow to influence itself” or “go to another way”.

The idea we are the result of our choices and not only our culture — talking about the place where we are living — do not let us becoming a kind of “thug of ourselves”, that is to say, it would not give us arguments to support misdemeanor as, for example, a theft: “We are living in a capitalism world that, every time, induce us to desire something, ‘forcing’ people that do not have the resources to buy the object that they want by legal forms to look for illicit ways to satisfy that desire, turning them, therefore, in a victim and not in a guilty”. One more time, if we are bombed every time for this “insane” desire, so why did not all of us became “thief”?

For this reason, the thinking argued not only by philosopher Rousseau, but also part of people that puts the “fault of delinquency in the society” failed to prove to be right if we think about “free choice”, so the humans are a influenced being, they are still free to choice what they want. And it is fit in our daily routine in the form of various aspects, as when you had the opportunity to go to “easy (and wrong) way”, but “you decided to be honest one day of your life, for a change”.
