What is Human Nature?

Human nature can be understood in 2 aspects, namely the genetic blueprint and the growth blueprint.

1. Genetic Blueprint

The genetic blueprint of human nature consists of evolutionary anatomy and primal instincts. Evolutionary anatomy is based upon the categorization of humans as mammals under Linnaeus classification system. Humans are similar to mammals in most aspects except that humans are physiologically challenged when it comes to survival. Primal instincts can be understood as the id in Freudian Psychology. The id is a selfish and irrational force that supports our fight-or-flight self-defense mechanism in times of threat and danger.

An individual will inherit his parents and ancestors human nature through the genes. The most fundamental need of human beings is to survive. Hence, we have inherited the nature of aggressive in order to survive.

2. Growth Blueprint

The growth blueprint of human nature consists of our layman mind and body. One of the fundamental differences between humans and animals is the absence of an intelligent mind capable of unlimited growth. The mind does more than enabling our sensory capabilities. It is able to integrate our sensations into experiences and crystallize knowledge into wisdom. With a combination of our experiences and wisdom, we are then able to interpret situations and take active ownership of ourselves. That is why we are conscious of how our body develops the societal preferences from the different cultures and our own dreams and goals. This consciousness thus enables us to develop not only our mind, but also our body. We will know what to eat and what to work upon on our bodies to train for athletic superiority. That is why humans are about the only species that can develop and push our physical limits from that of an ordinary man to that of an Olympic runner.

The study of psychoanalysis which include classical Freudian psychology and genetic science enable us to better understand our genetic blueprint. While the study of humanistic theories such as Carl Rogers' Person Centered Therapy and William Glassers' Choice Theory, enables us to understand the unlimited boundaries of the human potential in a scientific manner.
