prompt:Right or Wrong.
How many times have you seen something, or heard of something that someone said or did, and you could not believe what you have just heard, or what you have just seen? Watching the news, or reading a newspaper, you learn about all kinds of things going on in today's society. Some things make you smile, and some things make you just shake you head in disgust, and ask yourself; what's wrong with people? Don't they know right from wrong?
I believe everyone is taught some type of morals, and manners when they are being raised as a child. I think that alot of times people are to quick to lay blame on how a person was treated as a child or raised. Granted, parents should try their best to teach their children right from wrong, but their teachings only go so far. That person has got to want to do right also. I have seen more than one time, and I am sure you have to, a person doing something, or saying something that you know that their parents would not have tolerated when they were little. When someone does something mean or wrong, they should be punished. I also believe when someone does something right or good then they should be rewarded. I am not telling you to snap every person's head off that does something that you don't think is right, but maybe explain your views on why you don't think what they did was appropriate. Just the same, if someone does something you agree with then speak up and say so. I know there are always exceptions to the rules in every thing but if everyone tried this, I think that the world would be a lot less stressful place to live.
Therefore, I do think that people know right from wrong. But sometimes, I think they might need a little guidance or reassurance every know and again. If you think you are someone that could maybe do a little more good or rights things in you life, then maybe you could start by finding someone you know that is doing wrong or going down the wrong path, then maybe you could talk to them and you could both try to change together. I know I have some down falls of my own that I could definitely work on. What about you?

Pass. But I wish that there was more focus on the blog prompt in regard to absolute or relative moral viewpoints.
