From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Wrong is an incorrect manner or state.
Something that is not correct or not appropriate for a purpose or occasion, usually badly timed. Something that is based on error and not according with the facts. It is being in a state that is not in accord with established usage or procedure. It can mean not being in conformity with fact or truth.
In law, a wrong can be a legal injury is any damage resulting from a violation of a legal right. It can also imply the state of being contrary to the principles of justice or law. It means that something is contrary to conscience or morality and results in treating others unjustly.
In ethics, wrong is the opposite of right. The factors affecting the way different cultures determine norms for what is wrong form part of the subject-matter of anthropology. All cultures seem to have degrees of wrongness, reflected at the extreme in behaviours that are treated as taboos.
