Personally, I don't think there is an inherent nature in somebody...Good and evil is something they grow up learning from parents, friends, teachers, etc. Societal good and evil so to speak. No baby comes at as Gahndi from the start. On the same note, no child comes out as Stalin.
None of us exist as individuals though. Aristotle said man is a political animal, meaning of the polis. *That* is natural, it is our first nature to be a part of the society we are born into and represent its values. What's secondary (and difficult) is the ability to see through society's veil.

If people come out knowing nothing, then it makes it all the more fascinating that they can learn so much in so little time.
