Carl Jung on Archetypes: Inborn or Taught?

[Chaos' lil bro Order]

I was watching a video on Carl Jung and an interview with him. He said that archetypes are passed down from generation to generation by story-telling, or other cultural equivalents. My question is that I thought archetypes were supposed to be inate and that they did not require 'teaching'. So which is it? Are we born with archetypal images hardwired, or are we taught them?

My impression is that the Archtetypes are part of our inherited Collective Unconscious,and also partially acquired through life experiences from our day of birth,so,please correct me if I am wrong

I think the Jugian Archetypes are clearly born from environmental nourishment. The genetic predisposition to certain things is also a driving factor.
