    what one may conceive as bad may be conceive as acceptable to
    another.
     There are many factors that can afect how an individual views a
    conduct or an act as good or evil.
     It is rooted deeply in how he is brought up and how he is
    infuenced by his environment.

    wrong is religion.
    Right vs Wrong

    means “straight” or “right” and came to the English language
    through the Old English word “riht” which means “just, fair,
    proper, or good.”
     The word “wrong,” on the other hand, comes from the Latin word
    “pravus” which means “crooked.” It developed its use to connote
    a bad, immoral, or unjust behavior in the 1300s.
     Doing the right thing is an act that is in accordance with the law,
    justice, and morality while doing the wrong thing is an act that is
    not in accordance with morality or the law.
     The right way is one which is proper, appropriate, and suitable
    while the wrong way is one which not suitable or appropriate.
     Doing the right or the wrong thing depends largely on the
    individual and how he is brought up and how environmental
    factors have afected the way he behaves or acts.
     Each man is born with the ability to choose which path to follow,
    but deeply religious individuals tend to do the right thing more
    often than those who are not.
