I used to be a skeptic on this front, but I've seen it happen! It requires deep motivation though...
In your experience, are people capable of change?
-
Yes! Absolutely!
-
No. They learn to adapt but they don't change.
-
Only if they want to
-
Yes.
Full disclosure: I'm a social worker- my whole professional life is built on the belief that people can change.
-
Absolutely. I think people are always changing, both for the better and worse.
-
Yep, I think so!

Interesting. When I was younger I would have said that people absolutely can change for the better. As I've gotten older I'm much more skeptical and have rarely seen it happen long term. People can change for the better for awhile...even for several years but in my lifetime I've rarely seen a long term change for the better. In my opinion most people are who they are - ignorant/selfish/rude/lazy 20 year olds grow up to be awful adults and grow old to become awful senior citizens.

@babycanuck: interesting way to put it. I agree with you
-
@MUI831: Agree! I beliebe people are capable of change but it has to stem from within!

Yes. My BIL has changed so much since having kids. The priorities have shifted!
