Do we choose what is right and what is wrong?

     Nietzsche believes that morality has changed the human race. He feels that morality has turned us into beings that do not want to create values anymore. Instead he says that we want to know and have a value already set up that determines what is right from what is wrong. I agree with some of his idea about this. I feel that we as a human race do not fully make our own decisions anymore. Instead we are tricked or programed to believe one thing or another. Whether it is our family members or our friends and people who we aspire to be like, they influence us to believe certain things. For example, if a person is raised in a house that has specific ideas on a political party, that person will most likely agree with those ideas. This is because their parents have influenced them to feel that way. If someone is raised with only one political parties ideas in their house, how are they going to feel when the other political party is brought up in conversation? They will not have much of an idea about what they really believe. Their parent’s beliefs will become their default beliefs. Nietzsche also says that once we stop creating values for things, we cease to be true human beings. Humans are meant to create moral values. This is what differentiates us from animals. We are specifically given the free will to choose what we feel is right and wrong. Some laws do need to be put into place to set up consequences for peoples wrongdoings because lets face it, murder and slavery are wrong no matter what. Once we stop thinking about what is right and wrong, and go with the flow of what others think, we take the human part of our existence away. We were put here for a specific purpose, and without the right to choose right from wrong, how will we fulfill that purpose?
