Right or Worng

Prompt: Right or Wrong

I was raised to believe in God and the Holy Bible. I was taught that if it was not in the bible than it was wrong. I was taught that to be right is to be with God and to do his will. Many cultures around the world have different beliefs that they tend to follow. So who is to say if what any one believes is right or wrong. It all depends on who you are and what it is that you believe in. Some of the things that we as American see as what are right; others in a different part of the world may see that as a wrong.

In America there are differences as to what is wrong or right. Two children growing up in the same house for many years, being taught the same values and morals may eventually go in separate directions. One might grow to believe that what their parents instilled in them was wrong and the other might think that the parents were right. If a person goes to a different country that person would find that some of the things that are found to be right in America can be found to be an insult to that culture. For example in some parts of the world it is considered right for a many to have many wives. In our county that is considered to be wrong, and it is a felony to have more than one wife. Some countries worship animals as their gods, where we don’t. Who is to say which way is the right way or which way is the wrong way.

People have very heated debates all the time as to what is right and what is wrong. There are no laws that say if you do not follow me and what I believe than you are wrong or right. When we grow up and develop our own personality and ideas on life we form in our mind as well as our hearts as to what we as an individual would believe to be right or wrong. Those are thethings that we use to live our lives by.
