The Honest Truth About Cheating, Lying, and Dishonesty

A question was asked if bad behaviour was an inherent human quality or a learned response.  53% of respondents believe that bad behaviour is inherent while 47% believe it is a learned behaviour.  From my own obsevation and my own experience, one does not have to teach a child to lie.  It is true that many bad behaviours are learned, we are not born good nor or we necessarily born bad.  But we do learn early enough that lieing will keep us from being punished we we get good at it.  But telling that lie is not something that was taught to us but something that came nauturally.
