The discussion about Right Action versus conscience is historical. For example, can a person still be good if that person commonly violates an ethical rule like “telling lies is bad”? Can an Internal Moral Monitor be at odds with one’s informed conscience?  "Virtue and Conscience point to a shared destination, Right Action. They work in tandem to move the person from childhood into responsible adulthood. Lacking either virtue or conscience, Right Action becomes a fortunate accident if it occurs at all.”
