There's No Such Thing As Right and Wrong
There's No Such Thing As Right and Wrong
Our beliefs, values, and opinions are based on our context and worldview. In There's No Such Thing as Right and Wrong, we explore the moral and ethical implications of our perceptions, exploring a series of topics that tend to have moral "camps," and are the source of perpetual dyadic conflict, including abortion, gun control, drug use and legalization, federal and state-level responses to COVID-19, LGBTQ+ rights, killing others, the media, and more. In the end, we will discover that none of these topics truly have a universal moral hard line, that hard lines are moveable over time, and what this means for society if everything we believe to be true is only true for ourselves, or that collective "truth" may only be true for a fleeting moment in history.The purpose of this book is to challenge the notion of "right" and "wrong," and to challenge you, the reader, to think about your own beliefs and behaviors. whether we have ever rationalized it in our own minds or not, we live in a world where "right" and "wrong" are not universally absolute. Our upbringings, experiences, socio-economic status, nation of origin, gender, faith, current situation in life, current external forces, among countless other variables, all impact our behaviors and our concept of what is "right" and what is "wrong" in any given moment.
