What makes it right?

[venvad123]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, i am just puzzling myself,

What makes something right or wrong? is it influenced by the group you are in? Is there no right or wrong, just what you think.....

can't sleep, this is keeping me awake..............

ven >_<

Right and Wrong are made by one's personal beliefs. IE One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
It depends on the culture, and location.

Well, uhm..

I think it's based upon the values instilled in you by the people you were raised by.

I mean, you have a general idea of the stuff you shouldn't do, right?

Society is what pronounces things socially acceptable, and reprehensible.

While it may not be right forever, if replicated in the past or the future, for example, witchcraft now wouldn't be as reprehensible as it was in the middle ages, where you would be killed.

Similarly cannibalism is socially reprehensible now (for most places) whereas in the past it was more socially acceptable, in certain cultures.

Basically, there is a guideline of what is right and what is wrong, however there is no definitive way to say that this is always right, and this is forever wrong.

Everyone has different beliefs.

That's why there is arguments, wars, fights and so on because not everyone believes in the same thing.

There is no right or wrong to ANYTHING, regardless of the action. If you believe it's right, it may be right. But legally, it may not. You can still do this, you'll just have to suffer the consequence of it.

Goodluck sleeping.

It depends on the views of each and every individual, but alot of the time it's the views of the local Government, which is bs.

totally subjective I guess

Right and wrong are often sorted by how you were raised, what you're most influenced by, what you've been told...etc etc etc. I think wrong would be:

Drugs

Excessive Alcohol

Murder

Rape

Robbery

Backstabbing

Gossip


And almost everyone has the same views on what is right. :\
