Right and Wrong

What is Right? What is Wrong?



Since we are kids, we were told those are wrong and these are right. Something that we can and should do;Something that we can't and shouldn't do. No matter we like or dislike, we still have to follow. During childhood, we follow the rules just because for avoiding from punishments.
When we have grown up and become adults who have the ability to make decision and differentiate right and wrong, have you ask yourself "why it is wrong if i am doing this?" ?

Is there any standard to measure "rightness" and "wrongness" of something? This is the question that I have asked myself for many times.





Cheating is right or wrong?
What are u going to answer?
It is wrong? or it is nothing wrong? depend on situations？
there will be different answers and opinions among the peoples.

Different people will have their own different views and standards to differentiate the right and wrong. We do not need to argue with other, as long as their views and standards are reasonable.

Some people believes cheating for a right purpose is considered right. It is acceptable and reasonable view. But, there is also peoples who believe cheating for anything is considered wrong.





Normally people determine right or wrong can be

based on of their religions.
They follow rules and teaching of their God. Anything that are obeying their God's ideas, teachings or rules are considered right.



or based on reasoning.
Determine right or wrong of something with one or more reason to support your view. The reason must be positive and can be accepted by more peoples. To analyzing right or wrong based on reasoning, two main things we need to analyze, purpose and effect.






Purpose
-must be positive.

Effect
-it must able to bring out the most benefit to the most people.
-the most people will agree or like the effect or the result of it.
-positive effect.


If we are going to analyze right or wrong of an action, we need to know what is the purpose of the action and effect of the action.

For example, he steals food from a person called A for saving his grandmother who is in hunger and she may die if still no food for her.





This action is right or wrong? We need to know the purpose and effect of the action first. Purpose is for saving a life;Effect is his grandmother is not going to die. Then how about A? his food is stolen. Does A need the food? what is effect to A? We also need to know is there any method for him to save his grandmother other than stealing? These are the things we need to know to determine his action whether is right or wrong. Then it is right or wrong, depend on what you think.




Heard about news of baptist group in Haiti Charged with child abductions? info
All right~ Consider you are one of them and you are really purposely would like to save those children in Haiti. But now you are charged with child abductions and very less possibility to win in the court. Let say, there is a chance for u to run away from Haiti and u will be safe when u go back to you own country. Will you run? Is your action right? Think...
