Quote from jficquette:
If people natural instincts were to cheat and steal then we would have millions more in prisons.
The normal tendency is for people is to be honest and helpful. People want to help.
I think the contrary is true.
From what I heard, sociologists/biologists will tell you that morality is directly related to species evolution. In other words, humans/animals will naturally cheat, kill etc... while species (societies) that survive are the ones that succesfully impose a "moral" to their individuals, for the benefit of the group.
I'd be interested to hear the opinion from anyone in the sociology/anthropology field.
