Change is almost always possible, but the person has to want the change themselves. We can hope that someone will change, but that is something they have to do for themselves.

Some people have personality disorders. And among those, some are unwilling and unable to change even with therapy. But most people can change if they take on the commitment to change and be pro active in developing a healthier self and achieve a greater purpose in life. No one can force anyone to change. Real change is from within.

This is a very objective question. Most people in my opinion has a chance to change and depending on what they did are usually worthy of a second chance. There are a small portion of people that society calls sociopaths that have no conscience whatsoever. These people are not likely to change.

I believe that all people have the chance to be good! Some are more stubborn in this way, and you can only change your behavior if you truly want to!

Nobody is innately cruel. Even sociopaths (people who are born without the ability to empathize) are usually not cruel on purpose unless they have been abused. A person who is currently using a pattern of cruelty often doesn't want to change, though.

I feel that both could happen. I also feel that change can make you cruel. For instance, all over you can find many people who used to be really nice and caring but are now cold and (excuse my language) bitchy.

I believe that where you have grown up has a lot to do with the way you act. Our community shapes us to be the people we are. No one is born cruel unless they have a conditions that makes them unaware of how they ate treating others

Everybody has a chance to change their actions and feelings. People act based upon their feelings and what they are experiencing. There is ALWAYS a possibility to make a chance, it just depends upon the effort they contribute.
