Right and Wrong

21/2/10

Where do our ideas about right and wrong come from?
From an early age our parents teach us about what is right and wrong.
And also our teachers teach teach us what is right and wrong by creating rules in the classroom with consequences.
From our conscious and our instinct.
The media and friends.


List 20 things that you consider to be wrong.
-don't steal
-don't lie
-say please and thank you
-don't swear
- don't forge
-smoking
-drugs
-not caring for others and being selfish
-don't cheat
-don't murder
-rape
-stealing
-running a red light
- war is wrong

How do we explain the fact that people sometimes go against their instinct of self-preservation to put their lives at risk and rescue others?

Because they feel it is the right thing to do.
Deep down we think there is a responsibility to go out of our way and put our life on the line because there is a deep down sense of what is right and wrong.
