As did John Locke, I believe that humans are born with a blank slate, tabula rasa. However, I do believe that humans are born with certain atributes and traits implanted in their genes from their parents. How one utilizes these traits is dependent on your atmosphere, nurture. You may be given an athtletic body, good hand- eye coordination, and a competitve personality but that doesnt necessarily forecast you being a star athlete, it all depends on how you utilize those qualities in your life. You may also be given a creative mind, deceptive personality and articulate speech but that doesnt mean your going to be a politican or a CEO. Let’s say you have a neglected and abusive childhood coupled with tramatic events, want stops you from becoming a pychotic serial muderer. One’s childhood is key in predicting one’s future. Everyone is born with negative atributes; however, one may mask the negatives and amplifly the postive (who knows the son of the Zodiac may one day become the next brillant physicist of our time)
