I dont usually get into these things but and Im probably gonna trip myself up here but i'll give this a go.


Its too vague a statement to say that "whats right and wrong is definied by society". Because then you have to ask who's society? (I dont mean to keep using the war type examples over but .....) Some societies at the time, believed it was fine for British, Spanish and French invaders to colonise whole countries and rape them of their nationality, and inforce their beliefs, laws and cultures upon them. Where's as now thosecountries go to war to protect the same type of countries they fought to'acquire' years ago. Why have those same countries general views changed?I believe ithas to be down to the education of people and the civilisation as a whole being improved.


I dont think that the word "right" (in terms of morally acceptable) is a definite thing. It is what is 'considered' fair and moral, and that is governed bywhat you believe to be good. Whereas, 'right' and 'wrong' in terms of the law or intitlements are a definite thing.


But there can be influences that hinder your ability to make the unbiased call as an individual,on whats right and wrong (in terms of specific issues) due to past expierences. Thats why "right and wrong"should be a general perception. The more controversial the issue the more the generalperception will vary.


Maybe thequestion "whats right and wrong" is too vague...??
