(NN) Human Nature an overview

"All History is but a continuos transformation of human nature" Karl Marx

Karl Marx believed that as time went on human nature transformed and evolved along with human society and that no "common" human nature exists and I completley agree with this. I think that human nature is a mixture of instincts and the way we grow up. Our enviroment, parents, friends, mentors, enemies,the economy, international as well as domestic events; they all effect who we are and what our nature is.

I also agree with his point that as the World grows and changes so does human nature. This sounds contrdictory, if every human has a different nature then how can human nature as a whole change? Simple, even though our natures are very different we still have similarites in ur nature from the instincts we are born with. As I said I think human nature is a mixture of nature and nuture.

I brought up the question of whether or not humans can change their nature in class a coupld week ago and someone said that it's human nature to change our human nature. Like most of what is brought up in this class, that in and of it-self is a contrdiction, but it makes sense.

So that is where I will stop this blog, with the question of, do you think humans can change their nature?
