Right and wrong is a matter of perspective, as is good and evil.
Ask yourself what is right and wrong. If you see a lady being mugged in the street what is your imediate assumption? Do you believe that the mugger is in the wrong? Or do you believe that there might be more to the scene than meets the eye? Maybe the man is doing it to feed himself or his family? Then if that is so, is it not the woman who is in the wrong for not helping him, or contibuting to charities for the homeless?
There are so many cases such as these, all of them different, all of them with different arguments to show points on both sides.
So it's all a matter of opinion, whether you think something is right or whether it is wrong.

It can only be correct to say "What's the difference between right and wrong" - so your question is not right, it is wrong!

There are universal standards as to right and wrong.
For instance, no society believes in murder. Murder is universally a wrong.
Right and Wrong are NOT arbitrary. For thousands of years the human race has had acceptable standards and unacceptable ones.

Right handed is, well, RIGHT.
Left handed is just wrong...

Right and wrong can be defined only within a particular person's belief system.
There is no universal right and wrong.
Edit:
Seems that some people don't agree with my assertion. Consider a terrorist suicide bomber. To us, his/her act is murder (and wrong), but to him/her the act is one of killing the evildoers (and therefore right). Cannabilistic societies also see no wrong in intentionally taking a human life. To us it may be wrong; to them, it's essential to survive.
Sorry, I still say there's no universal right and wrong.
