There are no right and wrong answers in ethics

When we speak on the issue of ethics and question whether it"s right or wrong, as a person that lives in today"s society we have to choose in what we believe in and clearly I believe that right and wrong certainly do exist. I believe you have to be religious when you bring up an issue like this. Right and wrong are determined by the Bible. Individuals that do not go by, or believe in the Bible do not have any knowledge of right and wrong because no other religious books have clear ways of living. Without God, there is no such thing as right and wrong, only the things we call right and wrong. You might ask, well what is right and wrong, good and bad. The world as we know is full of crime and violence as Thomas Hobbes would say, we are all bad, evil people. Crime, drug abuse, killing, etc. each of these problems represents a collection of individual acts of wrongs, and as a person who does not believe in right and wrong ethics feels as if committing a crime isn"t wrong, because there"s no physically evidence of someone saying its wrong. A person who goes against right and wrong doesn"t believe in it, because in their mind no one holds that enough power to tell them committing a crime is wrong. Which introduce what people today believe is right doings. Obviously it must be the complete opposite of doing bad, example of right doings are like helping the society, protecting one another, and so forth. But we have to look back on our past ancestors that developed the "State of Nature" and basically what that consists of is giving up our right to do whatever we want. So there is a right and wrong ethic in history and today known as Laws. As humans I believe were born into sin, were born to be selfish, stingy, mean at times, I agree with Hobbes on this portion of his argument. Since were born into sin, does that give me the right to go outside in broad daylight and murder someone who I don"t like? No that"s considered wrong doing, that"s not the way of living. We gave up our freedom to do as we please for societal reasons, protection from the government, and many more reasons. Even though Philosopher Hobbes went on a rant about all humans being evil, Philosopher John Locke thought otherwise. Locke thought that we should have protection and security from the government, but we as people are good so we wouldn"t need as much security because we wouldn"t hurt each other. Locke believed that we are good people and that we know right from wrong, we know how to protect each other and ourselves, but what he failed to mention is that people are evil at times, more evil then good. If one is in survival mode, trying to find a place to sleep or eat for days on, that person will commit crime of the sort to get what they need, and a lot of this was going on in the State of Nature. I can relate good and wrong doings in today"s society. For example, if I harm my neighbor because she tried to harm my family, then that will be an eye for an eye, I believe my actions are right, I want revenge. If I"m trying to harm my neighbor because I don"t agree with what she/he are wearing, or she/he said something I didn"t agree on then that"s wrong for me to participate in violent actions towards that person. What you believe is right to one person might not be right to the next, but right and wrong ethics do exist in today"s society.
