As the movie, the blind side shows us (based on a true story mind you) that it doesn't matter how you were born or in what environment you grew up in, you still have free will to choose your path in life. Even though the story is NOT about a mentally disabled person, it shows someone who is different from the rest.
The movie takes place in Memphis where this oversized, muscular, and rather monstrous black teen/man is living on the streets with now place to live and no stable home. Even though he has seen everything and his mother has a longer criminal record than a bible, for some strange reason or another, the main character is not violent. Rather than taking drugs, being part of a gang, or using his monstrous body to his advantage; he prefers to smell the flowers or run away when threatened.
One could argue that he was born that way since he lived in an environment that could have easily molded him into a monster but did not. Either that or he has incredible will power and free will. Either way one could argue that a person chooses to be good or bad, no matter how they were born. Or the exact opposite, it is by birth.
