Why do people create a Wrong of doing something.Is really a right way and wrong way?

Question

I believe that there is no right or wrong way of doing anything because there are many possible ways.Wait this might make no sence bit ambiguous.

Answer 1

This is a deep area of thought. I personally believe that right and wrong do exist, in part because there seems to be an independent, similar, built-in right/wrong compass in most cultures around the world. The doubt comes from the fact that right and wrong are intangibles, they are ideas. You don't doubt the idea of "table" because you've seen and touched a table (probably :) ). But just because you can't see and touch something doesn't mean it isn't there. You should read Plato.

Answer 2

In the start or beginning, the 'right' way was the way that did no harm and was becoming for good, and 'wrong' was every other possibility.

§ 495.

The contract, as an agreement which has a voluntary origin and deals with a casual commodity, involves at the same time the giving to this 'accidental' will a positive fixity. This will may just as well not be conformable to law (right), and, in that case, produces a wrong; by which, however, the absolute law (right) is not superseded, but only a relationship originated of right to wrong.http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/sp/osabstra.htm#OS493

§ 83

When right is something particular and therefore manifold in contrast with its implicit universality and simplicity, it acquires the form of a show.

(a) This show of right is implicit or immediate — non-malicious wrong or a civil offence;

(b) right is made a show by the agent himself — fraud;

(c) the agent makes it a nullity altogether — crime.

Answer 3

An object is a good object insofar as it is able to do what it was made for. a ladder is made for climbing. a ladder that is too flimsy to climb is a "bad" ladder.

the same can be applied to human beings and our choices. if we can figure out what we are "for" (what our Telos is as a dead greek fellow might say) then we can determine whether or not what we do is good or bad.

I believe that we have a being in existence and in essence, but that we are NOT in existence what we are in essence (we are existentially estranged from our essential being). Acting in compliance or towards unity with our essence is "good".

for me it mostly comes down to Love. Love is not an emotion, but the drive towards unity of that which has been separated (See Paul Tillich). this drive towards reunification presupposes a separation. a separation presupposes a pre-existing unity.

to sum it up a different way: there is wholeness and there is brokenness. an act which leads to wholeness is good.

the unconditional imperative then is: wholeness. any decision we make must be able to stand underneath the idea of moving to wholeness... even if we can't tell what decision to make...

Answer 4

There are many possible ways to do things, but there are right and wrong ways to do things. It is hard to explain, and unfortunately the only way i can explain is via the use of colours. There are many things of which we can say is blue - and there are many things that we can say are not blue. And further still there are many things of which we could say they are blue but we are not sure. It is the same with right and wrong. There are right and wrong ways to do things with a many possibility of ways to do and not to do thigs, even ways that we are not sure of.

Hope i have made some sense :)

Answer 5

If there were no right, there would be no wrong and vice-versa. There are right and wrong ways of doing things. Free will just makes it seem like everything that someone does is right. And sometimes doing the wrong thing is doing the right thing right; which would make it right. Philosophy is awesome!

Answer 6

I don't think people create a wrong way and a right way of doing something. It just exists. Although, there may be more than one way to do something the right way.

Answer 7

There is definitely a right and a wrong way when figuring out a math equation...remember order of operation.

Answer 8

Perhaps there isn't. Right and wrong are such broad terms that putting parameters on them is almost impossible. Plus, everywhere you look, both definitions are completely subjective.
