The correct method for answering questions about right and wrong is to find out what most or all people think or feel (p. 3) I don"t necessarily believe that this statement is 100% true; just because most people agree a certain way does not mean that their view is right or wrong. There may be strength in numbers, but not truth (p. 3) amen.
