Ask a question.
If you ask 100 people you could get 100 different answers;

Laws, religion and society govern and determine what is "right" and what is "wrong". Artificial concepts that we have generated through comparison of established rules (law, religion, society...) or from our own personal views.

There is no "right" and "wrong". Fundamentally. Unless you apply any of the above in order to determine the validity (or whatever) of the given situation.
Human society is an evolution beyond the pack of monkeys roaming the forest, humankind has long been led by the strong (pack alpha) but in these 'civilised' times the strong is no long entirely determined who can smash who over the head with a rock first.

It is who can create a following from their own ideals - or more often now work within the rules of (insert doctrine) in order to climb within that order to a position whereby they attain leadership/power. In doing so they have accepted (at least externally) the rules and 'rights and wrongs' of this (doctrine) in order to work towards Alpha.
Right and Wrong remain artificial concepts, creations; products of the system whereby which we judge them - and we ourselves are a system, a microsystem in the macrosystem of the world. With our own rules, our own values, ideals, rules and laws developed from our experience and understanding of the world and acceptance of the (doctrines) that exist.

Right, back to work.

Or as I put it... ethics are a luxury.
