What's the difference between right and wrong?Nevermind what doctors say about the brain,give me your opinion.

Right and wrong are based on the values dictated by a given society, time and circumstances. \n\nWhat may be considered right in one culture may be wrong in another (women's rights for example). \nWhat may be considered right in one time frame may be wrong in another (slavery for example). \nWhat may be considered right in one situation may be wrong in another (mastur-bation in the privacy of your own home vs in public - Yahoo! Answers doesn't allow you two type out that word whole, try it!)\n\nIt will vary depending on those societal values and mores as well as repercussions from those actions.\n\nUltimately there are some basic beliefs of right and wrong that prevail throughout societies in general though - those become ethics. Even then, there is debate on which values are ethical and which are unethical.

As an undergrad student that focused on neurophysiology, I decided that science will probably never fully understand the brain- because we are using the very organ we are studying to attempt to gain enlightenment. I say this in reference to this question so thoughtfully posed before us because we are even more skewed on this subject because we as imperfect mere mortals are attempting to comprehend the full meaning of a perfect God. \n\nFirst it must be determined what "perfect" means? Should perfect be defined as always being "good"? I don't think that infallibility means always doing what is "happy." In our justice system, is imprisoning bad people bad? If we say that it's not bad, than how can a flood that wiped out the bad and corrupt be considered evil- could it not be justified as being considered good? Some things just "Are" no matter how bumming they may seem to us. God has choices just as we do, there are many ways up the mountain- none of them are wrong or right- easier and harder maybe- but not wrong or right. I couldn't begin to comprehend what it would be like to be the "original Father" and have to wipe out your creation because they were so consumed with sin. It couldn't have been an easy decision to make and carry out. Even in the old testament- Sodom and Gomorrah- he gave ample opportunity for people to cast out "evil" and kept lowering the needed number of good people before he punished his children. It’s not a fair comparison to put God up against Hitler or Stalin…they killed because of characteristics that aren’t sinful and their purpose for killing was sinful.\n\nSomething else that should be taken into consideration when thinking of perfection, all knowing, and the creation of Satan…take the Far Eastern philosophy of balance- yin and yang for instance. If, for perfection to exist, there must be balance- then wouldn’t there have to be an evil to balance out the good? As depressing a concept as it is, for us to know good we must also know evil. Parents teach us right from wrong by applauding our good behavior and punishing/ correcting our bad behavior- why should this lesson not also be taught by a spiritual parent?  It’s from the very contrasts that we become capable of reasoning. To truly have free will, we must be given all options- not just those that are “happy” or “right.”\n\nAs far as “omnipotent” is concerned, that- like everything else- is subject to interpretation. I agree that if you already know the beginning, middle and end of something- there would be no purpose for the experiment that is humanity. Maybe it is instead knowing all the choices and resulting consequences that could happen with each decision we make but allowing us to make them with our own reasoning. By giving us free will, the Supreme Being has allowed us to write the story instead of it being dictated for us. Maybe humanity is like an ant farm- you decide if and when you put in food, water, and something to make an anthill out of- you know that the healthy will eat and drink to survive and create shelter – but instead of doing it for them, you watch to see the how they do it. Humanity, and not just the women, reserves the right to change our minds with each decision we make- maybe God likes surprises .\n\nYou are not an evil person for questioning faith and religion- don’t let anyone make you feel that way. To question is to grow- both mentally and spiritually. My advice to everyone is to not judge others by their beliefs because those can be most easily misunderstood- instead form opinions of them by their actions for and against humanity. A person doesn’t have to be a Christian to love thy neighbor- they just have to be a person that puts the greater good above their own wants. But especially to those who are Christians, strive to remember Compassion, Understanding and Tolerance- they aren’t just lessons to be taught

Like I said in my answer to your question "Does GOD have any question?" that \n\nHe gave a choice to select between what is right and what is wrong.\n\nThis choice of "WHAT IS WRONG" is basically devil. Now it is you who are dealing with devil and only up to you whether you kill it forever within yourself or chain it. Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) told that he killed the devil inside. It means every one can do that. Imagine if none of the person in this world select to do what is wrong then there will be no evil on earth and hence we can say that devil no more exists.

That depends which side.  The right hemisphere is more intuitive and creative, while the left side is more rational or mathematical and deals with language.

Creativity is on the right side of the brain. Right-handed people use the left side of the brain, and left-handed people use the right side. If you don't believe that, I'm left-handed and I am very creative.

there is a part of the brain that deals with that activity, the hand we use to pick up stuff or write, and from what i was told (i am left-handed by the way!)it is the side that is located that determines if you will be left-handed or right-handed. Left-handed people are no less intelligent then right-handed people OK?

the right side of your brain is thought to be involved with creativity whilst the left is thought to be logic based, therefore an artistic person would be said to be right brain dominant and vice versa.  Incidentally the two halves are linked by a channel called the corpus collosum and both sides act to a degree in tandem. Women have been shown to have greater activity in the right side of their brains, proven by MRI scans (magnetic resonance indicator). It has been suggested that from primate times there was a greater inclination toward the right side in women due to evolotionary pressure to nurture and be compassionate, conversely males were more inclined to hunt and those males with greater sense of logic were more succesful. This can be seen to this day as women are far more able to multi task than men are, i know, the bank fired me because i couldnt talk and count out money at the same time. Result= £1400 down in the space of a month. What a bummer

Short answer: My brain.\n\nRight and wrong doesn't really have a source.  There's no spigot you can turn to pour right or wrong out.  It's not a substance.  It's not a form of energy.  Right and wrong are judgments.  Such judgments are formed by the brain.\n\nThat said, people tend to have common morals because of a common human experience.  This includes some genetic selection.  Many of our morals come from instincts that have worked for us as a species.\n\nAnother source of morality is society.  There have been countless societies with various moralities.  As societies have competed, some moralities have proven more effective at allowing people to live amongst each other in relative peace.\n\nThat, btw, is the purpose of morality, to allow people to live close to each other.\n\nWhen it gets down to it, though, the "source" of your morality is your brain.  My morality is influenced by my human genetics, the world I live in, my country, my state, my neighborhood, my culture, my friends, my family.  But ultimately, I decided, for myself, what my place is in society, what I want to do with my life, and how I think I should relate to other people.\n\nI can go on to explain how people with different morals come to common morality and how that translates into laws in society, but this post is already too long.

didn't anyone ever tell you that two wrongs do not make a right??

Well it's true, a person's belief is stronger than medicine sometimes, faith can heal or injure. A person who wants to be sick will never be cured no matter how much time and money is spent, unless they get the cure they desire. After all it's literally "in your mind" and no one can get in there. They can use drugs to blur your mind, or electro-shock therapy to try "re-wiring"  it drastically, literally forcing you to think differently, the same as people recovering from strokes or major brain injuries learn to. Much of dementia is caused simply by letting our minds go. Do I believe in satanic possessions? I'm not sure, but I believe there is potential for great good or great evil in every person, it's a battle waged within us every moment, and sometimes people feel the best way to face temptation is to yield to it and then claim they are a victim, "temporary insanity", or even demonic "possession." I don't know, but I believe evil requires a human body, a physical presence, in order to have power. And it's too easy to have a cop out like saying "I can't help myself". If a person is possessed I doubt any "exorcism" could work unless they want it to. But I'd like to know if any study was ever done to see if people with no religous beliefs ever get "possessed"?

Is it ever "right?"  Unfortunately, there are so many conflicts over what is "right."  It's often folks on the "right" who feel they have the "right."  They often maintain that they're on the side of "right," or on the "right" side.  But, that doesn't mean that the "right" folks are in charge, like when the folks on the "right" take charge.  But, without "right," what's "left?"  Then what's "left" can be "right" and what's "right" can be wrong. \n\nAh, I've been in the right place, but I must have made a wrong turn...

We only think with the right side of our brain, while women think with both.  We don't know we're dogs, and if you ask a dog "are you a dog?" it will not respond because it doesn't know the difference between itself and anything else.  I was not aware I was a dog until my first wife let me know, and then my second wife let me know.  Until then I thought I was doing okay, but now I know I haven't ever done anything right.  It's amazing the enlightenment a woman can bring into a dogs life.  So, I have built some mighty nice doghouses in my life knowing full well that I may have to take up residency there.

How do you know if anything is right? Most of the time you ask questions and you do research and based on what you've learned, you either choose the religion you were raised on or you choose another path. It's okay to choose for your self. Ask your self does it speak to me, am I drawn to it, and why am I drawn to it?

If you are talking about an innate knowledge of doing right and wrong the answer is that not everyone does.  Certain mental illness lack the characteristic, people with damaged brain function because of an injury etc.  Perhaps you need do define "conscience."

gravesendian said it perfectly as far as I'm concerned.  I agree 100%.  \n\nMorality is a purely human construct.  What is "moral" or lawful in one part of the world, can be immoral or illegal in another part.  Take prosititution...in some countries it is legal, in others not.  What makes the difference?  Difference in human perception...difference in what is considered an acceptable standard of behaviour.

You should ask the doctor or surgeon treating the patient.  I wouldn't even guess unless you told me what part of the brain was damaged.
