Does bad parenting causes most bad human behavior?

what evidence do you have of this? i know that the legal system is based on what crimes you commited not based on your life story. it is based on the circumstances of the events leading up to the crime like what the motivation was so was it an accident, self defense, or was it a crime? most bad human behavior is a result of choice of the indivudla. even in a case of a person who had bad parents that usually should not result in bad human behavior especially not criminal behavior. i have read some articles on the topics and have come to a final conclusion. there is no 100% perfect way to know a persons life story anyways because what they tell you could be a lie or they could keep their life secret. there are surveys so statistics government creates on the issue of abuse or crime to see what has been legally prosecuted but if you want to get really tehcnialy how do you even trust your own government that the information they have is honest real. so anyways there is no 100% way to prove anything in life you just have to trust the system. bad parenting can encourage bad behavior and make it easier to participate in but there has to be a point where the individual is responsible for the actions the person makes. if no one is held responsbilie for what they do wrong we should give no credit to what they do is righ rand then all we will ever be is confused. well n the story with the devil he was an angel beautiful in heaven with a healthy world then he got jealous and angry and wanted to be god so then he got kicked out and went into hell with the rest of the demons that followed him and got a new name of satan. anyways with humans that is kind of what happens to humans people want to be bad. people from good environments can turn out to be bad as well so it is not just environmental upbringing that creates a bad child.there really are bad kids or people in this world and not really a good explanation other then that is just the way they are. if someone cut both arms off of you do you really care how he was raised? do you want him to use an insanity plea to reduce his sentencing so he walks free. wouldn't you want him to get the death penalty or at least 30 years in prison if not more? if someone rapes you are you going to ask them during a court trial if they were ever abused in their childhood or maybe if they were ever raped? are you going to say you forgive them for raping you and getting you pregnant or giving you hiv? so you think the criminal should walk free with no penalty? then what if he does it again to other people there is always that risk of letting them walk free or having to light of a sentence? what if he rapes your child or gives your spouse hiv? what if they burn your face with acid and mutilate or cut your eyes out? will you care what their childhood was like even if it was a nightmare? my point is it does not matter what hell they grew up in they should not repeat the cycle. i am sensitive to a certain degree in the sense if the behavior is mild and not dangerous i could be ok with giving them therapy or medication. but if the behavior is extreme like i mentioned in the above examples prison is where they belong or death is how i see criminals. there definitely are bad parents who are maybe atheist or believe in satanism or spend no time with their kids and are obese or a prosititue or even gang banger parents who never do prision time or are drug addicted or divorced frequently choosing bad partners there is many long lists of examples but that is not a good excuse for criminal behavior. now i am not sure of the word bad interpretation to you i was guessing the worst of criminal behavior as an assumption. if you just meant like anger or mean people and not necessarily criminal then in that case i might agree it may effect your personality but it should not go to an extreme to criminal behavior. because the way i see it our laws are fair for the most part and realistic in modern first world countries maybe not all over the world but generally speaking i think america try to make the rules fair though it is not a perfect world still. there is a concept of common sense and there is a point where an individual understands what they are doing is wrong if they do wrong beucase of what they are taught and the fact they are human and the education system and the fact people have libraries and can read i feel it is easy to comprehend what right and wrong is and even if not always an instinct it is learned behavior. even if your parents did not ever discipline you and only lived with expectations rather then real guidance i still feel like the education system can be a replacement for faulty parents with their first day of school explatnion of rules and i am not saying it is ideal but i feel it is enough to clarify basic knowledge of what to do. parents do not teach you right from wrong they just teach you socially acceptable behaviors of what their religion tolerates or what they specifically expect as parents standards or what the law requires so just a reminder. parents discipline not necessarily to teach but usually is based on what the kid should already know they are just helping to establish healthy habits for the childs future success. and hypothetically let us pretend a child is brought up in a home with low discipline since realistically we all know that parents do discipline but in worst case seniors can be either minimal or excessive. again due to our mandatory requirements of an education system for all children until the age of 18 there are a few basics they are taught in these schools system in the beginning of the childhood about following rules and possible consequences that will occur if they do not follow. there is a longer list of examples i could list but i do not think i have the space to go on this topic.

Bad parenting is one of many possible factors causing bad behavior.

Bad parenting, mental illness, the environment, plus our basic nature.

once again, no. People are people, and we are individuals with our own free will, and our own lives outside of the home away from our parents. From the age of 6 children spend more than half their waking hours outside of home, even if parents are stay-at-home parents.

I do believe parents should aspire not to be terrible parents, but to say that it causes lifelong damage has been debunked over and over again. At the very most it increases risk factors.

Parents are only one set of people in a child's life. Experiences are often out of the parents' control, as are other people to a fairly large extent. Our brains actually take 3 weeks to change habits or our outlooks. Many examples of bad human behavior happen after a person has been away from their parents for longer than 3 weeks.

There are cases where children are filled with anger or hate and lash out and it was triggered by something their parents did, but to say that constitutes the majority of bad human behavior is laughable.

Out of curiosity, why do you believe in such fear-based parenting? I understand you might not see it, but it's visible to others. You're so Freudian.

There's simply no scientific proof that this statement is true. Bad parenting can be devastating to some individuals but you cannot go around blaming just one causal factor to bad adult behavior. If you were able to actually gauge bad behavior in all individuals I am sure you would find a diverse list of factors both home grown and societal that play a role in the development of a dysfunctional adult.

where do you suppose "" bad "" parents learned to be that way?!

at bad parents school? or something else?

they likely learned their trade at home

most folks learn to rise above the fray and forgive "bad" parenting

I agree with dany....

Bad parenting can influence someone to become an awful person and make bad decisions... but it's not like it's set in stone. you could have bad parents and still turn out very bright and friendly. You could have amazing parents and still become a murderer or a jerk. Personal experience, I've met rude kids with amazing parents and nice kids with drunks as parents. (though I have also met people who are awful with drunks as parents and nice people with nice parents so).

Where is your scientific proof or is this all your opinion?
