In this
paper the
idea of moral and ethical
behavior being shaped by the
environment is examined. It looks at the idea that there is a "bad
seed" in some
people that predisposes them to violence, crime, greed, or anti-social behavior; or, contrarily, whether a "good seed" can turn people into saints. The paper cites many examples of environment changing
character and concludes, in the author's opinion, that environment definitely has an effect on character.
