If the world didn't know what was right or wrong, do you think the world will be perfect?

Question

Right meaning doing good deeds, and wrong meaning Killing people. If we didn't know how to build those things, the world will be screwed :) sorry aboutt he confusion

Answer 1

We don't know what is right or wrong, we just act and justify our actions. Your right may be my wrong.

Right and wrong is about how we affect other people. Sociopathic personality disorder (Sociopaths, or in the terminology Psychopaths) are unable to understand the impact of their actions on other people. This mental health problem is very common. You know that ******** at school or work who is nice to your face and lies behind your back is problem one.

Image the whole world of sociopaths. I need food, I kick down your door and take your food. I find a girl beautiful, I rape her, or I love her, kidnap her and hold her prisoner. I need oil for my cars so I invade Iraq, I want to make money so I falsely advertise products etc etc.

We wouldn't see what is being done as wrong, but he would be scared, likely to be hurt, go hungry and so on.

So is this perfect or what?

Answer 2

Does your idea of perfect include nobody knowing the right way to store food so it lasts, nobody knowing the right way to build a bridge so it stands, and nobody knowing the right way to perform on operation that can save your life? That does sound like a kind of perfection to me... almost perfectly bad.

Arguably, the only difference between these scientific 'rights' and ethical ones are that the former are much better worked out. You have a point to a degree - a person who is CONVINCED that they are right beyond any kind of counterevidence has a big problem in much the same way that a caveman convinced that making flint tools was the best thing possible would have a problem. We make progress by being willing to question what we THINK is right and replace them with things that are MORE right.

But that hardly means we should abandon any pretense of ethical rightness in the mean time. No, we haven't worked out ethics to the degree that we've worked out engineering. Unless we keep trying, though, we never will! We have a number of crude approximations of rightness - the equivalent of flint tools - but even a flint axe is better than NO axe.

Answer 3

If there were no right or wrong, how would that justify perfect? What would everything be then? I think it would create more conflicts. Because people base every action on right or wrong. If there were no such thing, people would go crazy. It would be chaos, because they NEED something to blame actions on (in some way) and saying weither it is right or wrong to their own opinion, makes them feel better. Even now the world doesn't know what is right or wrong. Because what is right or wrong is simply a matter of opinion. The world as a whole will never agree on what is right or wrong.

Answer 4

there's always good and bad
there's a good reason we each have our own perspectives...one person sees a thing one way, another sees it differently...recognizing the differences in point of view and looking at situations, comparing/contrasting is always the best way to a wider more complete perspective.
If some perspectives were eliminated then it would limit the viewpoints available and limit the overall view.

Answer 5

The world doesn't know the difference between these relative terms..... is it perfect? Some would say yes, and some would disagree!

Answer 6

Every culture has degrees of right and wrong or acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Without that it would not be perfect....it would be total chaos!

Answer 7

It would be mess. Just imagine a world without rules and regulations.

Answer 8

There is no such thing a free and NO such thing as perfect so no the world would not be perfect by any means.

Answer 9

The definition of perfection would change and so it would probably still be the same.

Answer 10

YES Cause it just wouldn't matter; now, would it?
