Code of Conduct

Topic: Right or Wrong?
http://litmuse.net/prompt_right_wrong:


Everyday we are all faced with circumstances, in which we must come to a rational conclusion, based on a process that we each believe will bring us to our own idea of right or wrong. Some people believe that right or wrong differs from culture to culture, or religion to religion, or even within the same. Then there are those who believe that there is one truth, or one right and one wrong. I find myself puzzled in trying to find my own path to proper morales or actions sometimes, but I do believe that with guidance we can find a truth in the midst of this controversy.

Right or wrong in the common public's eye is an opinionated conclusion. There are people who believe that a determining factor in finding rightness is depedant on a man or womans religion or culture. I think that it is inapropriate to imply that one who believes in human sacrifice is immune to a murder charge. In the same since I think that it is unacceptable to allow one to steal, simply due to a circumstance of low income. I believe it is a common fault to think that a principle can be bent or broken in order to meet ones own agenda. A single person can not dictate to a world of extreme diversity that crime, or immoral actions are ok. Yet, everyday we hear of injust cases in which tolerance has grown and allowed wrong to become right.

I believe that there is but on correct answer, one correct response. For every conclusion we come to, there is an alternate conclusion. For every mistake we make, there is an alternate path. One being right, and one being wrong. In order to make a decision you must be aware of both sides of the circumstance. In order to do what is wrong you must first know what is right. Therefore things such as dishonestly, murder, or verbal attack are all will full actions, intentionally commited in order to fullfill ones own desire.

In saying that we do not live in a deterministic world, we can conclude that we all have free will. We have all been given a chance to oppose morality. It is improper criticism to say that absolute morals are unknowable, when in fact they are. Rightness can be found in a normality of agreement put forth by all persons in a code of conduct. Societies can only govern to a certain extent, but human rationality extends to an unfathamable end. The truth to a contrversial moral can be found in ones own logical explanation.

I find myself to fall under a catagory of moral absolution in saying that there is only one true conduct. Morality can pe interpreted by any one person to mean any one thing, but it doesn't mean they are right. Free will allows for a choice, and a choice provides need for a decision. A decision can only be reached when one understands his own moral values and decides to go with or against it. I for one believe in a greater being, God. All of my thought processes are derived from His teachings. But regardless of what you believe, actions are held to a certain standard, a universal one. Where some have stretched the limits morality others have have held a constant. A regulation is in place, though it may be avoided, or ignored, it is not unknowable.
