Many people think that all the bad traits we have are being learned throughout the process of life and therefore we are not born with them. I do agree with them as no person is born to be a bad person but, can be easily influenced to become one. I believe that personal judgement (either used in positive or negative ways) is something we are born with but we do not use straight away. This is something that takes years of development through the assimilation of knowledge to create a personal criteria from which you begin to judge others. These criteria can be also influenced by today’s society from the different factors that are accepted and from those that are neglected.

What do we consider natural instinct?

First of all, we must take a look at what is meant by natural instinct in this case which is something that we do without thinking or wanting to do. It is something that our brain automatically applies when seeing the need. It is not something that we can necessarily control as it depends very much on the person’s ability to control their uncontrollable conscious actions. To give an example of a simple natural instinct is the action of blinking when we see a bright flash or a loud sound. It is something that our brain applies in a split second.
