I wonder how much of that is a result of what society imposes on the individual.
Some might come along and say capitalism forces this on us.
While others might then argue these similar influences and pressures existed before written language, and even in nature in protohumans, primates and other animals.
Idk, environment def has an affect - but then again “being good” should prob go for when it’s easy & for when it’s hard to do so. Otherwise it’s the environment who decides, not the individual. And what has been the environment of humanity but the few who ruled it throughout the ages?
