I would suggest that for most of us, our "conscience" will give us an indication on what is right or wrong..

Having sex before marriage in Qatar is illegal and you can go to jail. Is that right or wrong?

According to who? Machiavelli? Right or wrong cant be subjective or relative. It's right or wrong in any part of the world, yes even in the deep recesses of the amazon, otherwise everything is permissible!

whether you like it or not! Of course it's easier to preach than practice, and we are not angels to live by this rule 24/7, but we can try and encourage others to do the same.

Have to agree with LP, right and wrong are subjective. You can only ever really stand up for what you believe in, therefore, by doing what you believe to be right you're really just doing what you want.

I believe the golden rule is pretty accurate.I think that there are some things that are just ingrained in our conscience people sense that something is wrong when they are mistreated, oppressed, etc

Sorry, I don't know what you mean with 'morally'. Is that something universal? The same for everybody? Let's ask Ghaddafi.

Most of the time we put conscience aside and do what is best :o(

LP: That which is morally correct, just, or honorable: "the difference between right and wrong".

Define 'right'. Is it the opposite of left?
