Fun Research Stuff

Yes! so as we all know, no one has one definition of what is right and wrong, so what I think is right might be what someone else thinks is wrong, and vice versa. However, there are certain items we deem as socially acceptable and socially unacceptable. For example, I could say that it is socially unacceptable to push a helpless senior into oncoming traffic, but socially acceptable to help them across the street. I apologize for the vague use of my terms, but it is because the purpose of my study is not to define right and wrong (which then is why I use the term objectively, in reference to the concept of right and wrong), but more to find why people (in reference to this forum, atheists) preform socially acceptable  (i guess that would be a better word to use) behaviors.

The reason I asked about Ethics, is that there are ALREADY many major Ethical theories, which you ought to ALREADY know the basics of, if you are writing about this subject. Social acceptability for individuals, is a very small subset of them. The context of "objectivity" in which you present your premises, in the light of Christian "objective morality" instantly leads you (and us) down (correctly or incorrectly) the wrong path. What IS the right thing, and what that means for any individual has to invoke an ethical system or systems. We would question whether anyone PAYING to attend an Adventist school would have even ever been exposed to a wide range of ethical systems.
