Answer 1

The virtue, the feeling, the desire which is all the way positive, approved of and is morally right is subjected to be a 'Good' thing. This 'Good' can be a thing, a person, a situation, a place or anything one can think of. Good can also be explained as any commodity or a physical thing that satisfies some human needs, or something that people find useful or desirable and make an effort to acquire it.

Culture is basically the system of knowledge of some particular religion or beliefs shared by a relatively large group of people. Religion also decides what is good or bad in one's life determined by its teachings. So, in social societies, one's culture, surroundings, and religion etc will make one person good in his/her behavior by following the terms of his/her culture or religion.
