The fact that determining right from wrong is usually a straightforward matter of common sense might seem hard to believe. There isn't a lot of clarity today about about questions of morality. Many people seem to confuse ethics with purely political, religious, or cultural beliefs. While there are many ethical components to matters or politics, culture and religion, not all are very helpful when it comes to everyday decision making.
It turns out that applying the Golden Rule and the Silver Rule can allow us to quickly determine if an action is right or wrong regardless of our politics, religion or culture. The Golden Rule (and its inverse counterpart the Silver Rule), might actually be closest thing that we have to a common sense ethics, across cultures and throughout history. Let's discuss the Golden Rule and Silver Rule and how they can easily be applied to every day life.
