Other than certain mentally disturbed people, most have a sense of right and wrong derived from nurture, nature and life experience!. Of course moral codes differ between societies and between individuals!. I think it's important to have standards by which to try to live even though we may disappoint ourselves frequently, and having such standards makes us choose right and wrong however subjective some of the choices may be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

We make up our own individual profile probably based for a long time on the morality of significant others from childhood, As teenagers constructing ourselves into adults we examine some of these morals and achieve some balance between what is right and wrong for our selves and right and wrong for society as a whole!. This is what distinguishes us from other people!. and make us individuals!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

We construct it ourselves depending on what we consider to be right or wrong!. We may justify these conclusions through Moral philosophy, and rigorous argument!. (or some societies might not)Www@QuestionHome@Com
