In the course it was discussed that fear has a genetic base, well, if we recall genetic as what we have been born with I disagree with this example as being genetic, in the class it was mentioned that as human beings needed to fear for their safety from animals, so they needed this trait to survive and they needed this trait for their evolutionary characteristics, but in an infant we can see that there is no fear so this fear has a cultural basis not an genetic basis, a child learns to fear from some animals by his/ her parent to be able to survive.
Aggression can be another specification that can has a genetic base , it depends on the temper each of us is born with but at the same time a society which is low in feeling safety factor can bring this trait to the parents of a child and then to the child and this way we will have in the DNA.

Can you explain what you mean by,"a society which is low in feeling safety factor can bring this trait to the parents of a child and then to the child and this way we will have in the DNA?" Are you saying that it can also be culturally influenced?
