Do you believe they stem from what our parents teach us as children or from adulthood?

Reason I am asking this is because on my way to work today on the subway, a teacher got on with like 15 little children all about 7 yrs old.
They were all different races and came from different backgrounds, yet they were getting along, having fun, singing together.

And I just sat there and had this very peaceful moment about life. And it dawned on me that all these hangups in the world have to come from some bullshit source, I look at these children playing on the subway having fun, they don't hate each other because they are different, they don't lust for polictical power, land, money...

Why does that kind of shit have to exist, if it doesn't exist when we are young? I mean during our youth is where we are shaped into adults, so why not stopped this shit at the source?
