"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.

                        The Three Don'ts-John Robert Wooden

1. Do not wine

2. Do not Complain

3. Do not make excuses

This quote conveys the responsibility of a human being, our species are aware of our accountability for our own actions. We must abide by the the ethical conduct that has been constructed by society, only then will we understand the importance of the basis of society and the circulation of ethics and morals. We are and will always be accountable for our own actions, if we were to participate in an action that is unruly we will be punished and during the punishment we must not formulate excuses, we could have easily chosen to not participate in that action. Therefore it is our responsibility to acknowledge the "Three Don'ts," and abide by the conduct of society.

"You have only to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you will enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience."-Robert E. Lee
I believe this statement represents the responsibility of an individual. In all sense we must abide by the rules and what is correct. In Mr. Lee's case what is right was determined by his society and the means of production and the distribution of wealth, and the ideals upheld within the aristocrats or commoners. When we participate within the decision making process do we allow our emotions interfere, even when our emotions lead us astray? Or do we allow our rational thinking to stimulate our decision? Or do we implement both? When we commit a morally correct action, do we participate with in the action because it has been deemed right by our society? Or do we commit an action in order to embody ourselves with in the morals of society? You might say " I donate money because society had told me it was the correct thing to do." But do you simply abide by the moral conduct? Or do you embody the moral conduct fully with a positive intent?
These are the questions we must ask ourselves in order to successfully construct an approving conscience within the changing ideals of society.

"you make your habits and your habits make you."= Anonymous

I agree with this quote, my habits do effect the mannner in which other individuals percieve me. We as childre are taught what is right, but we are also presented with the opposite of what is right and  that is improper actions. We are then heavily influenced by our upbringing, our parent or other influential forces aroung our home and therefore craft our habits through time and influence. Influence may either be beneficial or unbenenficial when we develop our habits. Habits can be developed at any point in our lives, but the stage in which we exhibit vulnerability, is during our childhood. We are then left to decide whether or not to mold our habits through a beneficial aspect or an unbeneficial aspect. An example is the habits developed during childhood, another example may be habits developed during another impressionable stage in our lives known as late childhood or puberty, The habits we developed will define us through an external and an internal aspect, Habits effect the manner in which society percieves the individual and classifies the individual.

" It is our duty to concentrate all of our influence to popularize what is sound and proper, and to disrupt what is unsound or improper."- Joseph Smith

Mr. Smith expresses his proper opinion with in the threshold of his quote and i agree with his quote. Our duty as citizens of a society is to live our lives and behave accordingly and idealize the aspects of society. We are distributed  freedom by society, and therefore the only proper way to achieve freedom is through doing what is right. Doing what is right is one of the major foundations of society. We must therefore popularize the foundation that society has laid upon us in order to sustain ourselves in this world. And therefore it is our duty to supress the wrong through several methods, our current method is known as community service and law enforcement. But a force we must combat is the growing popularity of an ideal known as rebellion, People who follow this ideal are disruptions toward society, they commit crimes and rattle the structure of society. But i fear this force is one we may have to supress forever. One example is  the growing popularity of academic neglectance, many children neglect school and concentrate upon doing what is right due to influences in the enviornment, Students who are adequate  concentrate upon doing what is right. This is the major difference between a proper student and an improper student.
