who are you to say whats right or wrong?

Question

for someone other than yourself.

Answer 1

Well that's just pushing your own values onto someone else.

Answer 2

If you are speaking of moral judgments, then we have no right except where injury exists. If someone asks if it is okay to murder his wife, then I think we have a right and a moral duty to say that this is wrong. If somebody asks me if it okay to plug the speaker inputs into the wall, I am going to say no, you will blow it up.

I feel like everyone finds their own moral compass in this world. If somebody is into orgies, I do not say that this is wrong, because I am not living their life. A lot of other people would jump right in to tell them how "bad" they are. I don't feel as though I possess the right to tell them how to live.

However, if you are weak-minded enough to do what anonymous people tell you in a forum such as this, perhaps you need some direction. I wouldn't ask the question that required THAT answer in the first place

Answer 3

Depends.

Generally speaking, I don't think I am qualified to say what is right or wrong for someone else. But there are several exceptions:

1. When what someone says is right will hurt other people.

2. When they ask for my opinion. (Why come on here if you don't want people to tell you if you are right or wrong?)

3. When someone is blinded by emotion or mental illness and doing something that will harm themselves.

Answer 4

Well I can say whats right for others , for instance if I saw an old lady being helped onto the bus by a stranger I would definateley say , thats Right.
However if I saw that same stranger follow the old lady off the bus to her home and murder her leaving her head on a stick in her front garden. I could safely say that is wrong.

Answer 5

If you have legal responsibility for someone's welfare, you are allowed to make those decisions on their behalf.

If you will be directly affected by the other person's behaviour, you have a right to object if you feel it will negatively affect one or both of you.

If your job description involves enforcing laws or rules (police, bouncer, security, etc.), then you are empowered to make a judgement call on whether or not someone's actions fall within the guidelines of the laws or rules you are asked to enforce.

That good enough for a start?

Answer 6

You can tell people your opinion, but it's completely up to that person to determine what they want to do with that info. I personally don't like to tell people "this is right" or "this is wrong", because it's just as easy for them or someone else to turn around and say the same thing to me. I think it's OK to let people know your opinion, just not to cross the line as to force it upon them.

Answer 7

It depends on what the situation is...

If you are saying that it is wrong for someone to wear white shoes before labor day, I say that this is a matter of opinion...

If you are saying that it is wrong for someone to murder someone, its not really something that is open to interpretation, its pretty much just wrong...

Answer 8

It is our opinion. Our opinion and beliefs are what we believe just like you. You ask a question you will get responses. Some you don't want to hear and others you do. Take it all with a grain of salt for no one here really knows anyone here.

Answer 9

Because sometimes its easier to look at another from outside the window. Meaning it is easier to see others mistakes and wrong doings than or own. usually wen people are telling you you are wrong, they are probably just trying to help, and sometimes it takes hearing things from someone elses perspective to see when we are wrong.

Answer 10

There is an inherent responsibility for me to correct you when I see you behaving poorly.
I have been commissioned to do this by 5th grade teacher Mrs. James, who elected me to the Safety Patrol. A task I have taken very seriously,,,,THANK YOU!

Answer 11

I am not but I only express my opinion. I appreciate others opinion and I am sure they do. A person has to make their own choices in life. Some people have experience to offer which can be invaluable.
