Yes, some of you recognize this question from Torment.

Nonetheless, it's waiting an answer, AG people.

My amswer is: nothing.
Man's nature can't be changed.

World war II/I. actually just D-day. if you lived through that you saw so many people die or have their limbs blown off you would come back a changed man.

If you are in a war. Many soldiers have gone to war, and when they get back they have to go to rehab.

The nature of man, as in one whole society and not the individual, cannot be changed without sever causes. For example, you have one lonesome man, you can change his nature, but you can never change the nature of man in whole.

You insert power, we as humans always have the need to break away from chains and power, we are made to be rebellious and constantly challenging opposition.

When a man gets dumped that can change a man's personality. It sure changed mine. I am much more cautious when I go into relationships and I try not to argue with anyone.

Bring him money. Lots and lots of money. That will make the man a much more happy and forgiving person.

The nature of man, and all things, is survival. Plain and simple. However, within man's need for survival is greed, because we have made such a comfortable life for ourselves.
Take away all he has. Give him a new motivation, stronger than his current one, whatever they may be, and man's nature will change.

Nothing or a woman. Women very often change the behavior of a man.

Yes, the behaviour.
Not what he IS.
A thief stays a thief, even if he not steals.

But do you think they're happy to be hobos? Notice how when you give them money, they get much happier...

Once humanity is on the brink of annihilation, everyone and everything will change.

The question is "what can change the nature of a man", not "what can make a man a better person", so you're just helping prove my point.

There's the solution! But I doubt we'll know for sure until it actually happens. Movies aren't always correct.

Conformity.

that's going along with a group's norms; essentially fulfilling a stereotype to get some sort of 'fitting in' feeling.
