Man's "nature" varies and deviates depending on time and place and what the "society" and oneself wants. "Human nature" always takes consideration the expectations of the "society"from the person and the needs and satisfaction of the person. What the person wants to do may be in contradiction to what the society imposes on him. For example, being angry at someone make you want to kill that person but since society sees killing as a big crime, you would constrain yourself from ending the other person's life in exchange for not being an outcast in the society. (Tiryakian, 1962)
