Not really. A good person will tend to behave in pro-social ways, and a bad person will tend to behave in anti-social ways. Those kids who broke into my apartment and nearly killed me (true story) didn't "learn" that behavior from anyone, they're just naturally anti-social and wicked.

Why do you think being a 'good person' is inherited/genetic?

Antisocial:

You can wish it to be totally genetic all you want but there is no confirming evidence.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
