| jacky jules. Fanfic Fanatic  Age: 14 Gender: Female Posts: 1302 | How do we know what is the difference between good and bad? Surely we all have different views on how we think good and bad are. Is it society or just ourselves that have come up with these sort of, guidelines, as to what is good and what is bad? What do you think? |
| Miss.Smiles Fanfic Fanatic  Age: 17 Gender: Female Posts: 1033 | I think we look at things, the way we were raised, Ever since you're a little kid your parents tell you 'No tha's bad!' and you grow up thinking that, and then you enter school and they tell you what's good or not so you take in all of this and make into your own perspective, or at least that's how I think about it. Without good there wouldn't be bad. withtout bad there wouldn't be good. |
| Blue Demon Fanfic Fanatic  Age: 24 Gender: Female Posts: 1368 | Parents, teachers and TV all helped for me to form what is good and bad. Though there are the areas of greyiness too, like killing a dog is bad, but putting them to sleep is good. Personally you need good and bad to keep the universe happy. The world would be rather beige if it went one way or the other. |
| Al Rosewater Amateur Author  Age: 15 Gender: - Posts: 219 | There's a very thin line between good and bad, and sometimes you don't see it until it's to late. I just so happen to live on thje wrong side of the line, as most people see it. I just do what I see as fit for the situation without thinking of the outcome, and I get into a lot of trouble for it. But it usually works out in the end. |
| Flapjacks Amateur Author  Age: 14 Gender: Male Posts: 124 | I guess people have been taught to live a certain way because of it being the "good life." I personally see things that I do as good or bad, and really don't let other people interfere with my judgment. Of course, what you think could also be influenced by your religion, family, and the people in school. As you grow older, it's your choice. [Also could be influenced by religion and family. Not so much as the people in school because of wanting to be an individual or fall in with the crowd. |
| meeshell. Ink Slinger  Age: 13 Gender: Female Posts: 753 | "Bad" is usually defined as everything that is against the law or against things in religion. It also is stuff that is in common sense to be "bad" such as stealing or destroying something. "Good" is usually following rules and obeying laws. Also, it is when you help people out and try to be nice when being nice is deserved. "Good" and "Bad" is pretty self explanatory when you think about it. Would you go around spray painting people's houses and then calling yourself a perfect citizen? |
| Poisonous.Touch Amateur Author  Age: 15 Gender: Female Posts: 129 | I think that we decide what we actually consider good or bad, but other people influence it greatly. |

| Mannequin. Queen Cliché Catastrophe  Age: 19 Gender: Female Posts: 378 | You know what is wrong inside, it's just how you choose to listen to it. |
| Nae Fanfic Fanatic  Age: 16 Gender: Female Posts: 2877 | I think it's kinda of set in at a young age what is good and what is bad and I don't mean the wicked witch is bad and the innocent little girl is good. Because we all know life doesn't work out according to fairy tales. But you know what is wrong. It's not really a choice. Wrong is wrong. If you have different opinions on what is wrong. Fair enough. But if some-one came up to me and told me "Homosexuality is wrong" then, yes, I would have my say. But if that's what they think I, nor anyone else, is going to change that. |

And no matter what kind of art it is, I think it being on the side of a house you do not own is in fact "bad". |
| Fall Out Haley. Ink Slinger  Age: 16 Gender: Female Posts: 816 | The line between good and bad is pretty much invisible. Everyone has their own opinions on what's right, what's wrong, what's good, what's bad. How do we define that? There's almost no possible way. That's something that's pretty much up to you. |
| Al Rosewater Amateur Author Age: 15 Gender: - Posts: 219 | jeph.: Hehe, I know. You hardly ever see any good graffiti art anywhere these days. Gotta love cities for having lots of walls though, it gives you something to look at while you're walking around. |
| ChemicallyImbalanced Wordsmith  Age: 15 Gender: Female Posts: 10251 | ^Stay on topic guys. I think how we were raised plays a major factor in what we think is good and bad. If you were brought up with parents telling you that killing people is good, then you are going to have some part of that set into your mind. |
| jacky jules. Fanfic Fanatic Age: 14 Gender: Female Posts: 1302 | Ray Toro: But who made up the rule saying that doing things like that are bad? In some peoples minds, that is okay. |
| Piccolo the Great Cliché Catastrophe  Age: 15 Gender: Female Posts: 340 | Valo Ink.: Ultimately, I don't think that we need an outside influence to fully tell us what is right and what is wrong. I believe that people have a natural conscience that warns them of bad behavior and whatnot. I think that "bad" is easiest described as an action or emotion that hurts you or those around you. Mentally, physically, it doesn't matter. And "good": well I'd say that that's just the opposite. It's doing things for the benefit of yourself and others, and in a selfless manner. However, I do believe that human beings have the capacity for both good and bad, which must be why we have a hard time picking through their definitions until we hit the right one. It's one of the reasons why we suffer. |
| meeshell. Ink Slinger Age: 13 Gender: Female Posts: 753 | ^^That's probably a better definition of "good" and "bad". |
| Scarecrow Angel Cliché Catastrophe  Age: 20 Gender: Female Posts: 351 | There is no ultimate 'good' and 'bad'. Good and bad are only concepts of what is usually beneficial or detrimental from experience. And what is a good thing to do varies from situation to situation. Another term for your sense of right and wrong is 'moral judgement' or 'morality', while the rules we have about right and wrong are called 'morals'. Morals do not come from an ultimate law that floats around in the universe, but rather, from humans. Basically, they are a combination of evolved instinct and learned knowledge of what would be best and worst for ourselves and those things important to us in a given situation. Our sense of what is good is not just based on what is good for us, but also on what is good for the people and things we depend on, as this affects us indirectly. Because what is good for us now (stealing) might not be good for us in the long run (a society full of crime), we need moral sense for ultimate preservation. Having ethical sense stops us from beating each other to death out of greed- because then, we would wipe ourselves out- probably a bad idea. When we can live in harmony with other people, our environment, and really as many other things as possible, we live much safer lives and build more secure futures. Of course, this is not always possible, and so what is 'good' in one situation may not be good in another. For instance, if you were starving, it might be a 'good' idea to kill an animal to eat, whereas when there is plenty of food around, this is considered a 'bad' thing to do. |
| Lies for a Liar Fanfic Fanatic  Age: 16 Gender: Female Posts: 1185 | I think it depends on your upbringing, religion, the country you come from etc. I think it also has a lot to do with morals, which are all mostly influenced by my list of three things in my last senence. Some people believe that sex before marriage is bad, some think it's okay. Depends on your morals. |
