"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."
-William Penn
I can happily agree with William Penn that it does not matter whether everyone else is doing the wrong thing, it may be normalized but it is still the wrong thing to do. It is important to remember that doing the right thing is always the best choice of action. It should not matter if other people do not agree with it because you cannot do the wrong thing when you choose to do the right. Your actions should not be affected by someone else's thoughts when it comes to choosing the right. An example of a situation where a groups decision may be problematic is when everyone want to go out for drinks, they may try to persuade you to drink with them and go to a party afterwards. You do not want to because you know it is not the right thing to do, you do not like drinking because of how it affects everyone else. You do not like rowdy parties because it is a giant mess all on its own. You know doing the right thing is to not go because you have many responsibilities to take care of. Your friends may think that you should lighten up, but still you should not go, going to the party is the wrong thing to do even if every one is against it. An example of how choosing the right is always right is when  you have to finish an important project for school but there is a program on T.V that you want to watch. The right thing to do is to finish your project and then watch that program because procrastinating is never the right thing to do, being productive is always the right thing to do!
