Are you a good or bad person? Are you right or wrong?

What makes a person or something good or bad? How do you define right or wrong?

Philosophers suggest that we apply critical thinking when using absolute words such as good, bad, right, or wrong to describe things, people, or ideas.

War is bad. Killing people is wrong. What about people who believe that killing doctors for a fetus is good?

Are you right or wrong? Which one will make you happy?

I did a google search for what was terrible a few decades ago; here are some:

  1. I’ll be going to vote with my daughter this Sunday. In the US, denying a woman the right to vote was right and good. Why? Women were wrong to vote because they could not think for themselves.
  2. It was right for people to watch an execution in a public square; spectators clapped and laughed while young children watched.
  3. It was a good business and the law of the land to sell humans as salesperson sells shoes in Nordstrom.
