RE: Psychology: The Perception of Good and Bad, Right and Wrong
I have loved your publication, certainly "the good or the bad" is something that changes over the years and what you say about culture and society is very true. That is why they say that truths are relative, that each person sees things according to his perspective and hence that for some people there are situations that are bad, others will be good.
You're very correct Alana. Sometimes people do things they appear good for the wrong reasons. However, someone may do some harsh things for the right reasons.
For example, a child may perceive discipline to be punishment/suffering. Likewise, a parent may be already assaulting a child, but think he is correcting or punishing him for a wrongdoing. It's all relative
