Are we really morally responsible agents despite the fact that we had no control over our own formation?

If you agree that you had no control over when you were born, where you were born, whom you were born to, and how those people raised you %26amp; gave you a sense of your own morals, then how can you believe that you are actually responsible for your own actions? All the external factors that made you who you are in your developmental stages, were not chosen by yourself. It was arbitrarily given to you. So, are you indeed a responsibile agent despite this?Are we really morally responsible agents despite the fact that we had no control over our own formation?
Of course there is many things which we do not control like u said . We cannot control where we been born how we were born and neither if we received the right moral education . There is also many philosophies like the Tibetan and other Asian disciplines in which the one who teaches feels responsible for anything good or bad his disciple is doing .





However even when we may have not been raised to be good for example or to love others there is a point in which every individual has to chose either or not he/she continues this pact . Believe me there is always a conscience and it will hit this person sooner or later therefor even when he/she make have less fault there is still a little of fault on it .Are we really morally responsible agents despite the fact that we had no control over our own formation?
Regardless of how someone is raised, no one likes to be stolen from, beaten, unjustly ruled against, or defrauded. If a person knows what he does not want done to himself, there is no excuse for his doing such things to others.





Man is socially and morally responsible to use his free will in a manner that does not encroach upon the rights of others. Whether or not he does this is his decision, but he is accountable for himself and the consequences of his actions. To take away accountability encourages a cop-out mentality and allows sociopaths to justify unacceptable behaviours.
