Respect and self-control are not products of socialization? Do they not differ across cultural contexts? If they were genetic, understandings of respects would be universal. Disease? Absolutely genetic (or biomedical). Respect, control, perceptions of behaviour, etc? Socially determined. What was respectful 100 years ago doesn't qualify now. What is proper behaviour is also culturally contextual.
So, it seems we have taken a philosophical/social turn...lol.
I'm sorry if I sounded like I was contributing it to genetic inheritance. What I'm saying is the more imperfect our bodies and brains become, the worse we behave. I'm going back as far as the beginning of mankind. But see, that gets into a Biblical realm and I respect the fact that not everyone wants to hear about it. Not saying you, personally. I have no idea of your views on the Bible.
This is probably a good point to end our discussion.
