There are many people trying to define the "world" and "society". Those critics are often opposed by somebody else. This is because, there is no "real" meaning to describe world, environment and facts surrounding us. Although everything has its own properties, they need to be defined. Good example of this is that we know what lighter does but we call and use it differently depends on our languages and cultures. Speaking of which, languages and cultures themselves are made. They are not real to the world like other visible objects.
We defined what is good and bad long ago. But do you ever think that what absolutely telling good apart of bad lies within each person. Each person will judge each act differently based on their own experiences and morals.[Morals-> aka, what they believe -> what they want to believe] Everyone was raised differently and had variety of experiences. Therefore, you cannot condemn them wrong just because you or most of people think so. What is everyone in your country believes in something that is technically wrong, will you follow or oppose? In fact, no one will oppose if you say some thing like "1+1=2". [Mathematically speaking: something that has truth value.] The case you will encounter the most is the ideal of politic, religion, cultures and believes. To some people, this topics is very sensitive, trying to convey them away from their believes is like tempting them to come and get you. Seriously, there is no real answer to these topics, right nor wrong.
Even with simple question like "Is every life equal?" is very hard to answer. To sacrifice 1 for 1,000 or to let prisoners die to save a brilliant scientist, is it worth? The answer may vary but I will say mine here. Life in my perspective is not equal, Life of ones I love and normal human are not at all equal. If I can only choose one then I will let the one that is more important to me live and let the other one dies. It may seem to be harsh but I believe that you will choose your family over one unknown man after all.
The above example can be applied to more serious issues like religion and politic. You may think that what you believe in is true because you think so or everyone near you think so and demonstrate it to you since you were young. It is fine to do so but wrong if you are trying to force other people to believe in what you believe. Some people that I know change what they believe to something else when encountered with some events which strong enough to make their faith collapsed. Of course, the severity of events enough to collapse the faith is proportional to strength of their believes.
I can assure you that there is no right and wrong in this kind of issues. You can believe in whatever you choose but you have no right to say that what other believe is wrong or stupid. There are so many believes in this world and they need to be coexisted in order to create diversity in perspectives. This thing is natural.
In conclusion, we see the world as we would like to see it not as it is. Some may think that life is boring, society is bad, chaotic and dying while many think of that life is beautiful and this world give them hope. "You will feel pain if and only if you think that yourself is in pain". The choice of world's perspective exclusively depends on you.
