These are questions that are asked everywhere in our society today. The recent events surrounding the moral failure of our President illustrates the difficulty our society has in even defining the truth. Listening to the unending discussion on what is right and wrong, appropriate and inappropriate, moral and immoral makes one acutely aware that there is no common definition accepted by all. This is, of course, nothing new to most of us. We have known for sometime that our culture was dominated by a relativistic philosophy that claims no absolute truths.
Morality is considered a personal and private matter.
Each individual must determine for himself or herself what is moral and right, this way of thinking concludes. Our culture, unfortunately, has bought this mistaken notion. And now we are redefining even commonly understood terms. There seems to be a desire on the part of many today to do wrong and still be right. Because of this we attempt to redefine the very notion of right and wrong itself.
