Is right and wrong in the world all opinionated?

Lets observe our world.
Our laws are usually defined by a group of people in power. These group of people may represent the views of a majority of people in an area. However what is right and wrong? This is set out by the people in power/in charge.

Therefore I believe there is no such thing as RIGHT OR WRONG that is definite. What could be seen as right in some countries by some cultures or ethnicities may be defined as barbaric, outrageous and blasphemy in others.

Let us look at religion.
Right and wrong/what can and cannot be allowed is set out by holy books such as the Koran and the Bible. These laws are supposedly dictated and upheld by a divine power such as Allah (only an example). Therefore again, what is right or wrong is set by someone/something.

Therefore nothing in the world is 'right' or 'wrong' only how you look at it.

 

Your sir, have a very valid point.

The world is neither 'right' or 'wrong' in any case.

Due to the fact that the world is way too opinionated, there will never be peace, there will never be the 'paradise' people seek. People have false hopes for the world, therefore it will never progress anywhere as one.

That is my opinion though, and that is yours. There will be at least one hater.

But I have realized that not even destroying the world, and recreating it will fix this problem unless mankind itself is terminated in the process.

 

Do you see it as a problem? The ability for us all to be able to stand by to what we believe?

The values for right and wrong shift, over time, however, i dont think they get any worse, except for maybe the area for human respect, E.G The lack of thought that is given by huge Capitalist abusing businesses that destroy the common man's life. of how they can turn him into a redundant, homeless, self-destructive person, within an instant.

THAT I believe is wrong, but who knows, what other alternatives do we have to Capitalism? Monarchism? pretty much abolished in the UK, more of tourism now. Lets face it, not many other systems work.

However, ethical problems related to racism and hate crimes have been improve alot in todays society, many people can judge what is right and wrong in this case.

 

Surely it would be common sense that stealing isn't right.. It's unfair and unloyal, not because the government tells us, but because it's just morally wrong.. Stealing from other people. It's like murder. Whether I like it or not, Murder is wrong, throughout all galaxies and beyond, It's just wrong. To think about actually taking SOMEBODY ELSES Life.. It's actually just wrong. The world will never be at peace as basically, I could just have a debate with you and there you go, we have 2 different views. Until the human race is extinct, there will always be different opinions and different views. If I like chicken, and you don't then once again we have a world which won't move on until either or of us decides to agree with the other upon the matter.
The sad tale of this world is that people don't give in unto death at which point, the opposition hasn't won as there will always be another idiot to disagree. It's how to world spins. Things change but deeper, In the core, the things are still the way they used to be but with a different shell. Even if a new race was "Produced" and the human race were extinct, it'd be the same. Sometimes things just never change. Right or wrong is never taken into consideration as whether the government decides whether it's "good" to kill, It's just a decision made by oneself. I myself believe that it isn't good, and that the actual idea of taking a life is insane. In all opinions, you have no right.

I take your point and I put forth mine. Our OPINIONS are different, and as I stated earlier, this will always be mine until death

 

I disagree to anything being inherently right or wrong. Even murder can be justified, for example as self defense. If someone threatens my life, and the only way out is to kill, would you really say it's wrong of me to defend myself?

 

No, it wouldn't be wrong, Self Defence would be an act to stop yourself from being killed. Who by? A Murderer. If you are being attacked, they plan to murder you anyway, which is wrong. If it wasn't wrong, you'd let them do it, right?

 

Right and wrong are opinionated works of fiction created by our own expectations.

 

To a certain extent. But the reality is, we live in a world where ethics play a big part in our lives, we can't just kill someone and just say "WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME IT'S WRONG? YOU'RE JUST A PERSON LIKE ME" There are things that yes it is debatable like smoking weed,street fighting, etc. But extremes like putting other people in danger, then that's when you have to draw a line.

 

Right and Wrong is governed by morals and ethics. I'm a christian, so my belief is that we have carry similar morals and ethics at the beginning of our lives before the cultural conventions and conformities take a hold of them.

Eg. You kill someone for the first time, something inside you tells you that it was wrong. That something is morality and ethicality.

Right and Wrong by definition, definitely exist, for by definition, they are your morals and ethics calling the shots. If you live by your pure morals and pure ethics and limit what conformities are available to taint those ways, you are living 'right'.. IMO.

White Caucasian Law was written from the Bibles commandments, more or less. Hence the reason why you are told you swear upon the Bible before a court, because the word of God cannot be amended or legislated against by judges or governments. The reason they can persecute you is if you have broken the law in your true statement or lied about your actions under oath.

What I'm saying is that God's word IS what he says it is. Right and Wrong are dictated by the ultimate creator.
If you are not religious, your lives still abide by the same religious laws present in the the Bible, hence dictating Right and Wrong nonetheless.

 

If I live by all these rules, and I am not a Christian, will I be welcomed in heaven when I die?

 

Bravo sir, you are right on the spot. Our expectations and feeble beliefs dictate how the world revolves.

 

True that. Human beings, by nature, are drawn towards good things. They call these things right. Things that are unpleasant to them are referred to as wrong.

 

No, I believe there is a firm and cosmological right and wrong, and laws and other codes of ethics merely serve to expound on and enforce such notions.

Edit: Or, of course, to trample them.
