Topic: Right or wrong
When it comes to being right or wrong I think you have to make the decision for yourself. Only you can interpret from your own perception what’s right or wrong. The process of deciding what is right or wrong dealing with certain issues is tough, because not all issues are going to have a right or wrong answer.
I guess you could call me a moral relativist. Relativism is sometimes identified as the thesis that all points of view are equally valid. It implies to saying that all moralities are equally good. They all assert that moral values, beauty, knowledge, and meaning are relative to some particular standpoint. They all deny that any standpoint is uniquely privileged over all others.
I am not an absolutism, because they believe that there are absolute standards against which moral questions can be judged. If you are absolutism you believe there is a right and wrong answer to everything. I just can not agree with that, because under certain circumstances or other situations there is no right or wrong answer.
Who is to decide what is right and what is wrong? Everyday you go threw life and people try to tell you what is wrong and what is right. When you listen to other people’s point of view you can make your own perception of what is right or wrong. There are some things in life that you should know are wrong, like stealing or murder. If you do something that’s wrong and know it, does that make it right? It might be your right to do as you please, but it is still wrong. When you do things that are right you know it before you do it, and it applies the same way for being wrong.Take abortion for example, there is so many different opinions about abortion that nobody can put a firm belief that it is right or wrong. There are so many different circumstances that are brought up when it comes to this issue. Essentially abortion is based on one of two beliefs: Human life in the form of an ovum and spermatozoon, becomes a human person at the instant of conception. On the other hand, it states that human life becomes a human person after conception, perhaps when the fetus looks human, or becomes sentient, or is functioning independent of its mother. There are also concerns like weather an abortion is good or bad for the woman in her specific situation. Under what conditions, if any, should the government step in and veto a woman’s decision to have an abortion, and force her to have birth.

Pass. You did a great job explaining the topic and you stayed on subject throughout the whole paper. A few misspelled words here and there, but overall a good paper.
Pass. An interesting read and easy to follow with a consistency throughout. A few errors here and there, but otherwise a good paper.
Pass. Your post on right or wrong is able. Your last paragraph is a bit lengthy. I think you could make the abortion section it's own paragraph. There are a couple mistakes but overall I did like reading your post.
