Question

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be kind to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are     wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

Rules can help the public make the right     , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent     .

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be     for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view. For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is     acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into trouble.

Sometimes it may not be so easy to know     what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is cruel to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and     be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel     when stealing some food to eat, if lives in a really poor area and he is starving. Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to _   others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and other have different ones --- so who is to __ what is right?
