Unfortunately, my writing seems to be confusing as I did blame our human flaws that create insecurities, jealousies and the need to be in control. I disagree with the children theory you offered as it is based on fact that you have manipulation and control over a childs mental and intellectual growth. You are able to raise a child in peace and it has been proven time and time again. You can raise a child in racism and to change the childs thoughts and beliefs when they mature is very difficult. Considering how much power we have in raising our future generations it is simplistic to believe that they are born with these negative beliefs that the adults that they see constantly in their life have in abundance.

Yuyutsu: You won't ride a bike because you don't want someone telling you to wear a helmet, but what about seatbelts for cars?

alphafemale: Maybe humans are born nice and taught to be nasty. Maybe they're born nasty and taught to be nice. That's very much a philosophical question, and it's pretty hard to sort out nature from nurture entirely as there examples of both good and bad, and children will certainly do things without adult prompting. It's natural, to some extent, to divide into "us" and "them". Any social organism does it as it's kind of an extension of self-promotion for survival.

Shorbe,

Mandatory wearing of seat-belts is indeed a gross violation of human-rights.

Fortunately for me, I happened to be already wearing seat-belts since they were first introduced - long before it became a law.

In my own personal opinion, especially living in a great country such as this one, how we could contemplate, making people from other cultures assimilate into our own. I mean, our ancestors tried it already, with the Aboriginal Australians and it is indeed something with its own ramifications as well as almost an embarrassing part of a nations history.
