What is the difference between knowing something is right and doing something right?
Is this an ok answer?
The difference between the two is a matter of one being a thought process (knowing), rather than an action performed (doing). One may know something, but one may not act.
Yes.
Yes, as Ms. Sue confirmed. One may know something isn't right, but may succumb to peer pressure, social pressure, etc., and still do the wrong thing to avoid criticism or to "fit in".
thank you.
Yes, that answer provides a general understanding of the difference between knowing something is right and doing something right. However, to further explain how to arrive at the answer, it is important to understand the concepts of knowledge and action in this context.
To determine whether something is right, one must gather knowledge and evaluate the situation based on facts, principles, and moral values. This process involves critically thinking, analyzing, and understanding the information at hand. This is what we refer to as "knowing" something is right.
On the other hand, "doing" something right refers to the actual act of implementing what one knows to be right into action. It requires taking the knowledge acquired and applying it in real-life situations. It involves consciously aligning one's actions with what they believe to be right or ethical.
In summary, knowing something is right is a mental state of awareness or cognition, while doing something right is the practical application of that knowledge through actions.
