First, all of these can be found in the dictionary, but if we were to outline what is right, wrong, good, and bad, we would be editing repeatedly. Society defines morality. For example, 100 years ago, it might have been "wrong" to get a divorce, or to have a relationship with someone from a different race of your own. Today, 60% of Americans get a divorce and it is not uncommon to see interracial couples. So, to get back to the main idea, what's right or wrong or good or bad today, may be the opposite in just a matter of time. The Dictionary defines "right" as "in accordance with what is good, proper, or just." "Wrong" is defined as "not in accordance with what is morally right or good."

well, are four are words you can find in a dictionary.
other than that, their definitions are highly subjective. we all make our own choices in life. some are beneficial, others detrimental.
for example, i may choose to drink a bottle of bleach. most people would advise me that it's 'bad' and a 'wrong' thing to do. to this i may object and say that it tastes 'good' and that it feels 'right' to do.
even after i return from the hospital after having my stomach pumped, it will still be impossible to prove that it was 'bad' or 'wrong'. it will, however, be proven a detrimental thing for me to have done.
for clarity, it's easiest to classify as wrong (bad) those things which are detrimental. when it comes to 'morality', the choices are more influenced by social or religious norms which are not always as objective.

the question is basic human reason for living, religion, terrorism,etc.
stealing is right for a robber for living but wrong for the law.
Right and wrong can not be defined. what ever is convenient for any body's life is right for them, and for the people got affected by this course actions, it is wrong. you can never generalize right and wrong.
but good and bad are just.
a good smell cannot become bad smell for any body.
a good act can never described as bad
the word good has no other alternate; like for bad.
they are like truth which doe snot have an alternate. they are just.

There is no right, there is no wrong. Life is absurd when the assumption is made that there is no afterlife. Nothing really matters in the end, so people should do what they want (naturalistic hedonism).

it has a lot to do with your personal beliefs - there is the law of course, but we all know how effective that is!! if you need someone to tell you what is right and wrong, rather than figuring it out for yorself - maybe you should find a religion - they'll tell you what to do.

It is wrong to take away another person's freedom. All basic rules or ethics can boil down to this, if you steal from someone, you have robbed him of his freedom to enjoy or use that thing, if you hurt them you have taken away their freedom to live with out pain.. and so on.

To know whether or not you're doing something wrong, you have to ask yourself "Is what I am about to do going to hurt someone else, or impose on their human rights?"
If the answer is yes, then it is wrong.
