Your programming. It's all in what you have been programed to believe.

Right and wrong are often defined operationally. Good and evil are often harder to define. For instance, you were taught as a kid that it was wrong to run out into the street after a ball, or from between two parked cars. If it wasn't obvious to you as a kid why you shouldn't do these things, it must be now. 8^) Those things are -wrong- for obvious reasons. Crossing at the crosswalk, waiting for a light to change, looking both ways, that's the -right- way to do it. To me, 'good' and 'evil' are the same. Something can't be just 'good' in and of itself, it's good because something demonstrably good comes of it. But some religious people believe there is an abstract 'good' in some things. Often this has to do with 'the will of God'. If something is The Will of God, then it's good period, because he said so. God might know the reason, or there might not even be a reason except that it's what God wants. But, perhaps sadly, I am not privy to the will of God. Also in the ecclesiastical sense, evil can be just the absence of good (as dark is the absence of light), or it can be another force entirely, The Devil.

Levels of authority.
Good and evil is a self discipline. The way we interact.
Right and wrong is a parental issue or upbringing.
Justice and injustice is a society view , which is brought upon us by elected officials who think they are doing the people's wishes.

Yes, perspective is the difference in most of the "gray" areas of good, bad, right, and wrong. But, of course there are the obvious evils and pure bits of goodness that we all recognize easily. How we know the difference is either a social instinct or a product of a good up-bringing.

No difference unless you specifically state the value that these judgments support.
Life or death.
If you choose life as the highest value , reason and logic are going to be good, right and just.
If you choose death (God's world), than those same things become evil, and unjust.
Everyone leaves out the supported value. I guess death is the most popular choice then.

The only difference is the point of you of the person making the judgment.

You can only know if you read the Bible. For instance stealing widows houses and not helping the fatherless is wrong.

One is nearness to God and the other is distance from God; as it is with heaven and hell. For more info check out www.bahai.org.

It's whatever a society determines it is.
