A few are naturally corrupt and will always do anything they think they can get away with. A few are naturally honest and will never be corrupted.

Most people just act like the people they are surrounded by.

Other than randomly being born in a western democracy ranking high on living standard, happiness etc.

I was a good boy and put in the effort in school. I get paid accordingly and have a relatively stress free job.

Language: Python. It does reasonably well at staying out of your way from learning programming instead of the quirks of your language.
