Human Nature

-Are we born with inherited traits or are we a "blank slate"?
-What's more important for human beings? Law and order or freedom?
-Are we determined by our genetic structure, environment, etc., or do we have free will ?
-Are we naturally social beings or are we individuals first?
-Can we know universal truths?
-Are we selfish or altruistic?

The human condition.
I guess part of human nature is selfishness. We care more about our own happiness than that of others. Oftentimes, we do things without considering if someone else gets hurt by our actions. Do we build our happiness at the expense of somebody else's? Does it make us feel better, does it give us joy, to hurt someone else, sometimes intentionally just because?
Could there ever be a complete joy that doesnt cost someone else something ?
