Ethics

I think that there is no absolute right and wrong. Theories of "what is right" and "what is wrong" developed from our parents and it hardened when we socialize with people. So basically, right and wrong is dependent with the society, culture, education and religion. Things could be right in certain society but it could be wrong in other society.
Thus, what is right to do ? Well, I believe in Prima Facie Duties (Actual Duties) which says that we human being has five basic duties by William David Ross,

1.Fidelity

2. Gratitude

3. Justice

4. Beneficence

5. Self improvement

6. Non-maleficience

        But the definitions seems uncertain, thus it is for us to judge weather it is right or wrong. Autonomical ethics is vital for it does not goes with the flow of the society. Animal kills; we are also animals; do we need to kill ? Can we still kill ? Does this brings beneficial effects or the other way? This is for us to judge. Thus, developing a self moral or ethical values, knowing Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is important, or else, one will become a weird person.
        I have also a way to help people to develop their own moral values. It is through the study of history. By studying history, one will know which is an absolute ethics, which comes first, which is a distorted moral values. For relative ethics comes from people's mind and this will also make us fall into the same trap which is a societies value. We need natural moral values, values that comes from our own mind.
        From my long-term research, I think that only God's ethical value is the most reliable. If we believe in God, we will know that what God says is actually an ethical values existed for more than 4000 years or more.
        Came back to a question, "Why do we need to be good ?" Well, I think that good is purity, whereas evil is a polluted substance. I think that a good person does not need to know he/she is good. A good person is also a perfect person for he/she had reach purity. My ideal page explains more specific in this area. There are also some questions set in the question page related to this area.
        Some people think that something can be done in a certain area but it is not suitable in other area, which I think it's not right. For example, some laws are suitable in a certain country and some does not.
        Let me explains with a drawing,

        Lets say, there is the beaker D outside and a test-tube C inside, both with different liquids A and B. The beaker and the test-tube signifies the wideness of a society whereas the liquids signifies the moral values in a society.
        Many people think that B cannot work in A for B is different with A. This is not true, if one agrees in Darwin's theory of evolution, which says that "the fittest who survives", we must accept that B can become like A or A become like B. There is no fixed theories, if the theory works, it is a good theory. So, A and B can be the same. Moral values can also be the same. There is no good or bad values, a value which state to be good is because it works or practical in a society; but we must know to be aware for A and B could be wrong, which we need another substance, which is the E, the environment or signifies, God.
        Some people think that C is different with D and I think its wrong also. C looks different with D, one is a beaker and one is a test-tube. But according to mathematical theory. C is from D, or C is belongs to D. Can we ignore C ? no, society needs C for elevation. D cannot live without C for it belongs to D, many people omitted C as a group for they have not experience the effects of loosing C. But do you know that D is belongs to E ? We are belongs to E or God. We need God's values to back us up and He could not loose us.
        You may think I'm silly, but many times we don't know that it exist. It just like C. Many people living in C doesn't know that D really exist. Like children ignore parents; people ignore government etc.
        So, talking about ethics, there still have many to discover. For me, I have only discover until this area. Please feel free to massage me if you have other thoughts. Thanks.
