Assignment 3

I do not believe in a clear good or evil. We all differ in the way we are raised and the way we look and judge the world, and therefore the terms "good and evil" become too subjective. For instance, if Leah Kleppinger was born in a poor family and needed the money to take care of her sick siblings and elderly parents, would it be"bad" to deny her relatives of this blessing? After all, someone who carries around 4600 dollars in their wallet probably isn't in danger of becoming homeless. What if the person that lost their wallet is known to be forgetful, and reckless, and returning the wallet to it's owner only denies them of an important life lessen. To decide if it was morally correct for her to do what she did depends entirely on the person judging the actions. Just because I go to church every Sunday morning and say that the wallet is entirely the owners "property", doesn't mean that my opinion is superior to someone who thinks that a person who looses 4600 dollars does not deserve that kind of money. Most people never do something that is their definition of evil, even a murder would act on their own personal definition of morally right, however chances are their definition of morally right differs greatly from mine. In the end, there is no way to clearly define what actions are "good" or "right" because we all think of these terms differently, and there is really no way to determine whose opinion is "more right."
