Man and a Box

If a man has lived in a box for the entirety of his life, will he know the essentials of right and wrong?

For example, if he were to escape the box, and see someone getting killed, what would he think?

For example, if he were to escape the box, and see someone getting killed, what would he think?

He'd think about how he lived his whole life in a box only to escape to see a murder. If I were that man from the box, I'd start to question the meaning of life, or at least the meaning of my life. That box man has had a really rough go of things.

If a man has lived in a box for the entirety of his life, and he escaped the box to see someone getting killed, would he even recognise the 'someone else' as another person? Would he know he was human? :wink:
