I belive that compassion is adopted from the adults in a child's life. You don't learn it like you would math, but it's not something that your born with.If we were all born with it we wouldn't have mean people. Men wouldn't ever hit women people wouldn't kill people.The world would be great and peacefull.

AnswerCertainly the environment that you grow up in has something to do with it, but I've seen more compassion that have had a tough life at a very young age. It's perhaps because of that tough environment they managed to see compassion because wise people learn from their own experiences (doesn't matter how young they are) and have a choice at lashing out to others, or learning how they felt when they weren't treated so well and feel far more compassionate for others. Some children are very compassionate and I often will call them "old souls" meaning they are wise beyond their years.

Compassion is believed to be both inherent and learned. Some people may have a natural inclination towards compassion, while others may cultivate it through experiences, teachings, and practice. Ultimately, a combination of innate tendencies and nurturance contribute to the development of compassion.

Detail the For and Against arguments for innate and learned behaviors?

For innate behaviors: These behaviors are instinctual and do not require any learning or experience. They are usually advantageous for survival and can be passed down through genetics. Against innate behaviors: Innate behaviors may not be as flexible as learned behaviors and could limit an individual's ability to adapt to changing environments or circumstances. For learned behaviors: These behaviors are acquired through experience, observation, and practice, allowing individuals to adapt and thrive in various environments. They are highly adaptable and can be modified based on new information. Against learned behaviors: Learned behaviors can be time-consuming to acquire, may be influenced by individual biases, and can be lost if not continually practiced or reinforced.
