"There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know is evil."-Ayn Rand

Thank Ayn rand for this wonderful statement. We must never attempt to justify an unjust action, because the action will always be improper. We all know even though we participate in an improper action we cannot justify the action because it will always be categorized as an improper action and we cannot change that. But what is right or wrong is heavily influenced by the bases of society and the ideas that the society exhibits. The ideas are also heavily influenced by leadership, culture, philosophy, social organization, and financial situations. Therefore society decides what is correct and expects the citizens to embody the ideas, morals, ethics, and values it has imposed upon us. Would you expect the actions of a communist country to be deplorable in the eyes of the capitalist institution and vice versa? Therefore i am unsure there is a definite right, but the closest item that allows us to identify a definite right is our moral compass, which allows us to generate impulses upon our perception such as guilt. I still greatly believe that the moral compass allows us to differentiate what is right and wrong clearly and that an evil action can never be justified.
