Decisions, Decisions.....

          Are humans naturally born with morality or is it learned from experience? Both have a contributing factor in various decisions making. Every humans are born with the ability to make judgements and decisions based upon their conscience. Conscience that is controlled by their own personal values; based on religious views, philosophical views, and secular views. All these views are acquired from their experiences and values learned growing up or personal experiences from being in those situations. If a person makes their decisions based on their conscience, then they are judging from both the objectivity and subjectivity point of view. Their decisions are made from knowing what is right or wrong from their own knowledge and personal views. They usually "play by the rulebook" and follows the law when making decisions; more than their own personal emotions, "gut" feeling, or any sense of empathy. That kind of decision making are from what they learned from experiences. On the other hand, a person can also make decisions based from what they feel is right from their "gut" feelings, empathy towards the situation, and their sensitive emotions. Instead of conservatively  following the "rulebook" like most people, they tend to ignore it and judge from just the feeling they have towards the situation and is always thinking about the consequences of it. This type of decision making is developed when the person is born. They are born with emotions and feelings so when it is time to make decisions, emotions and feelings are incorporated into the judging process instantly from basic instinct. A lot of people have made decisions from using experiences or values they've learned or solely on empathy and emotions; which they were born with. Both of these are really important contribution to decision making, so it doesn't matter if a person is borned with morality or they've learned it through experiences.
