* ''Literature/TranslationState'': Juvenile [[ArtificialHuman Presger Translators]] are extraordinarily dangerous -- both able and eager to take other people apart, plus they need to [[TheAssimilator assimilate]] another lifeform during their maturation. Even Qven, a pleasant Translator, killed 34 of her peers in childhood. Meanwhile, Reet was HappilyAdopted and RaisedByHumans, and despite having violent fantasies, has never harmed anyone and doesn't intend to start. The Translators flat-out don't believe this at first.

** The Patriots in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2'' take the trope and its use in the previous game to [[{{Deconstruction}} a much more chilling conclusion]]: an AncientConspiracy that explicitly knows the power of Nurture over Nature and exploits it by reshaping people's personalities through social engineering.

* UsefulNotes/BFSkinner, known for his contributions to psychology and linguistics as well as several controversial theories on human nature, takes this UpToEleven in proposing that all positive and negative human behaviors are the result of environmental and cultural conditioning. He argued that a person at birth is a BlankSlate, and even characteristics attributed by many as intrinsic to human nature, such as love, altruism, violence, and greed, are the result of positive and negative reinforcement of those behaviors.
