Inherently every person has the capacity for both good and evil. It is a simple choice that that diferenciates a criminal and a saint. But if you think that everything that a person decides in their lifetime can be categorized into black and white decisions you are very wrong. Everday life is a mass of grey decisions that are shaped mainly by upbinging and education. When it all comes down to it, moral and ethics are constructs created by human beings. If you were to raise a person on Mars(hypothetically) they would be governed by the social norms and environment to which they become accustomed. Bring them to earth and they are immoral based on their behavior and actions.
Your question is a serioius and meaningful question that every person should ponder at least once. However it can also be considered an rhetorical one; it envoces self observation and education.
