being GOOD is being right, but not always because you see we only thought that it is sometimes right because we are bias on it, just think of this we act things because we believe its GOOD, right? what if we realize that we thought all along was not good will we still do it? of course not, Its because GOOD is so attractive that's why we only do what we think is GOOD even if sometimes it's or wrong. so being good is not being right all the time

Not always.I can be good but it doesnt mean I'm right.For example, I can give be good by giving money anytime to beggars on the streets,but it's not right to give them money without discretion,bec they can use it for drugs, or they may be working for someonelse and they are being exploited.On the other hand I can
be right and not necessarily be good to someone.For example,I won't let my children watch T.V. without studying first,I may appear not good to them but that's the right thing.
But being right is more important bec most of the time when you do the right thing,it's good.But not all seemingly good are necessarily right.

You can be very skilled at something and not be "right" - for instance, a very skilled burglar isn't doing something that most people would consider to be "right." If you mean "good" as in "righteous" - even that is up for interpretation. Some might consider it "right" to hurt or kill others for what they believe to be "good" religiously speaking, for instance. You can also be right (as in "correct") about something without being good; you can be right about a fact, and use that fact to do others harm.

Striving to be good doesnt always make you right.
Good which is what one would perceive isnt always the right thing to do. Example, 'sacrifice yourself for your beliefs' is a muslim extremists belief that hes doing good by stopping americans from killing women and children.
Is it right?
No!
Doign the right thing is always good, because its the right thing to do. Doesnt mean its always going to be easy, but it implies you make your decisions based on the greater good, based on prudence, based on understanding what is right and what is wrong.
Thats the best I can com up with

No. Sometimes one must not be good to be right. An example would be a soldier throwing himself on a live grenade to save the souls of those in his foxhole. Suicide = not good, but right.

At the moral/ethical sense, it depends on the situation. Every single mankind may make a mistake in this respect.

I need to be good to be right, because I guess good is better than right.
right: every thing as usual
good: every thing better than usual
