Wrong is still wrong even if everyone is doing it, and right is still right even if no-one is doing it.

“Wrong is still wrong even if everyone is doing it, and right is still right even if no-one is doing it.” As a young child you grow in age and wisdom being trained and molded by your guardians where they will discipline and teach you responsibilities. The quote by, St. Augusta, “wrong is still wrong even if everyone is doing it, and right is still right even if no-one is doing.” Simply means that an individual must own up to their responsibility rather than follow the line of someone else. Responsibility is a characteristic that can make any individual successful in life. No matter what you do, whether at work, school or home, having responsibility and acting responsibly are key traits. When someone is responsible, they are accountable for the things they say or do. For example, you are in class and your classmate are being disrespectful to the professor, you think to yourself if you should follow along with everyone else or do otherwise and take the responsibility of being respectful and learn the material. An individual must learn to gain control of them in order to stand for something in life. People must understand and gain knowledge that just the whole group walks down one path does not necessarily mean that they are going the right way which gives the individual the upper hand of setting their own path and direction. If you’re going out with your friends and you see the guys who have their pants half way down their butt does not mean that is the right or appropriate way to dress, it just mean that they lack manners and self-appearance. There are many people in the world that lacks the skills of self-control so they allow themselves to be controlled by the image of others. When you allow matters such as this to occur, that single individual then lack the knowledge of knowing what is wrong and right which means you then lack the skill of responsibility.
