I really don't hold to the seemingly-popular viewpoint that humans are just naturally pieces of shit and that given a chance without consequences everyone would be killing/raping/stealing with abandon. Most people are just good people. Our upbringing is a huge part of that, but so are the natural tendencies with which we've been engendered by evolution (altruism, etc). Most people are already raping and killing exactly as many people as they want, the number just happens to be 0.
The fact that some people do some shitty things in some situations doesn't change that. We just focus SO much more on the negatives.
