Black nor White. Gray.

In my opinion, morality is learned because humans cannot be born knowing what is right and what is wrong. I believe that humans are born 'gray' since they do not have the life experience to make moral decisions yet. Which is why it is important for young children to be brought up properly so that they will have a strong grasp of what is evil and what is good. Even though man is born 'gray' I believe that they have more of an evil than good nature because humans are naturally selfish and greedy; when given a choice between benefiting themselves or others most would probably choose to benefit themselves.

Parental teachings and education are major factors in molding morality. Parents help set an example for their child to how they should act; a parent's actions are reflected in their child. If their child sees their parents stealing, they will too, since they may think that  it is normal to that. Therefore it is important for the child to be corrected when they make mistakes and learn that their parents are not always correct in their actions. When a child is taught the proper ways of life it will become easier for them to make good decisions about the way they should act according to the way they were taught. For example, manners; when a child learns manners at a young age, it is easier for them to remember their manners because it is already a habit to them. Likewise learning what is good at a young age is better for children since they will not be as easily influenced by bad examples. Education is important because there may be parents who do not teach their children properly. By being educated, students can learn morals and ethics. History also acts as a tool to learning. From the Holocaust, students know that Hitler's actions were evil and immoral, murdering many people because of their religion.

Morals change as a person gains experience in life. There are many situations in life that may challenge a person's morals but they should also stay true to themselves and follow their morals so they will not regret their decision later on.
