Is their something like "Right " and "Wrong"?? Common 4 all?

Question

Or is that the circumstances in one's life decide the "Right " and "Wrong"?

Answer 1

Yes it is like checks and minuses, or profits and losses, in that sense of the word common, meaning common sense, or instinct. Add and subtract is what you must do for a decision and usually you do that at first sight. For instance you look at a flame on a stove and you instinctively know you would not put your hand into it. Because the minus is first in mind, for you would get burned. Pain in mankind usually depicts what our decisions should be. When it comes to morally when dealing in business however, that is a matter of conscience, although we dont always use that instinct it would be wise to say it is all along the lines of the same philosophy. Just weigh it out and you have the answer.

Answer 2

A clear NO. If I hold the view that killing animals and eating them is wrong, am I right? Or am I wrong? If I kill a person on euthenasia am I wrong ? Or right?

My wrongs are someone else`s right and vice versa. Rights and wrongs are judgemental and subjective. Over avery long period of human history , the sociey has found out many mnay such "rights and "wrongs" as being common.. They have , then , formed what is called codes for social living terming a few rights and few wrongs.

Like the traffic rules for the vehiles. 200 years ago there were no cars and then these traffic rules were not needed. Not now. EVEN THEN , we see in the world , cars on the RIGHT s in the USA and car on the LEFT like in England. Who is RIGHT or LEFT ( sorry wrong)?

Answer 3

The short answer coming from a non religious person is no. Right and Wrong are only only human creations. In our natural worlds there is no such law. So coming from a scientific opinion, there is only natural law such as the will to survive. But coming from a human point of view I do hope some people believe in a right or wrong.

Answer 4

I think you are closer to the answer in the latter part of your question--the part about circumstances. What makes an action right or wrong is largely dependent on context. For example, murder is considered to be right if it is an act of war, but wrong if two city gang members kill each other in a street fight.

Answer 5

Universally, I don't believe there are any absolutes as far as "Rights" and "Wrongs" in the many cultures on the earth. The two issues that come the closest to being universally wrong are cannibalism and incest (incest being more so). However, in those cultures where they are accepted they are not "wrongs".
So, to answer your question, I believe circumstances ultimately decide what is "Right" and Wrong". For example, in our western society and culture, theft is generally considered wrong. But if my children were starving I would not hesitate to steal food for them.

Answer 6

Although circumstances do seem to change how things can be viewed, but upon closer inspection, you can figure out that morality is not subjective.

Is rape ever right?

Someone mentioned that murder is "right" in war but "wrong" outside of war. The reason is that when the enemy has violated human rights, they have lost the right to their life. Their life has no more value and further extension of that life will only allow them to harm others.

Answer 7

No, right and wrong is relative.
The nature of an action is determined by the motivation behind the action, also subject to scrutiny by the public eye.

Answer 8

Only a comparative level of evaluation decides what is right and wrong.. other wise, it is more 'appropriate' to "see" what is "APPROPRIATE " according to a situation, and do it.

Answer 9

emply the concepts of situational ethics and right and wrong become quite cloudy, and often indistinguishable.

Answer 10

Chocolate > vanilla
everything else is derivative.
