The Evil of Man

It turns out that we are all born with morality and it is a core innate attribute we all have. Studies show that infants as young as 3 months have the ability to make moral decisions, which may come at great surprise as traditional theories have always argued that morality is learned as opposed to innate. There are two main outcomes I think are most interesting, when it comes to this topic, and will discuss their vast ramifications. The first outcome shows that infants generally rather see people being helped than not being helped. The second outcome narrows down the scope to who do infants rather be helped or not helped, and it turns out that infants prefer those they cant relate to don't get helped. It is hard for me to explain these studies as I am not a psychologist, but the implications are that humans naturally, without considering nurture (good parenting), prefer that those who they can't relate to get less assistance.

These findings explain how the human is evil towards those not in their social groups while being "good" to those they consider part of their social group. The term social group is general, but can be race, gender, ethnicity, or any other shared identity like a love for a specific sport or specific food. Many people simply don't have good parents to show them to how to be good to people that don't belong in their social groups and thus we have a world full of bullies and autocrats. The studies on infants lines up with Social Identity Theory perfectly, which to me further validates both theories. This fundamental desire to see bad things happen to people outside of their social identity groups that babies are born in addition to the limited biases and beliefs of all human parents, that also follow the forces of social identity theory, there is little hope for a future without violence, racism, sexism, homophobia, slavery, or any other form of human submission or intimidation.
