Human nature is difficult for me to think about because I believe that people are very strongly influenced by those around them. However, I suppose that people are good until they are made bad. No one is born with hatred toward others and everyone has an opportunity to stay that way, it's just difficult and only some people try their hardest. It seems like the world would be a better place if everyone acted on what they knew was right, but that's the thing. The way you are raised and the world around you changes your morals compared to everyone else's, so who's to say that some of the worst people aren't just acting on their human nature and what they perceive as "right".
The main place that I have developed an opinion on human nature is from my parents. My mom has always said that people are victims of their surroundings. It's natural to act similarly to those you are around a lot and I feel like that's the main effect on human nature. People start off life happy and good and that only changes because of those around them, but there need to be people in your life that will keep you on track and make you do the right things even when you don't want to. These people are who help you develop and better your human nature, because when it gets polluted by your surroundings, those people help you fix yourself.
