I am new to the job of doing experiments on thoughts with pen and paper (although both virtual) as only tools. In case if any one minds what may be the result of my experiments please forgive me or ignore it

What is Right??
Sometimes i am not able to understand what is right and what is wrong ?
There are some topic where my thinking is different from the majority. what should i do in those condition? Should i do what i think is right or should i swim with stream and do what majority think is right. Matter get worse when its my duty to work for the benefit for the majority but its different from what majority want.
Amid these confusion i even divide my thoughts in two parts, my idea which are going to effect me and my ideas which may effect the society (although it may require i should hold such a high designation so that i can influence masses)
Similarly i divide the thinking of society in two part, one which can be said as prejudice, which usually illogical and baseless, second the thoughts which prevails in society and converted into laws as soon as time come (someone may ask how is it possible that when majority of society have something in mind why it will not become a law instantaneously but even in democracy you has to wait until the next election in case current govt take a oath not to listen to the people)
There is no problem with first part of my thoughts, i think i can enjoy my ideas which are going to effect me similarly i can ignore the prejudice because they does not have any logic behind them. But what about the idea which are not baseless but my thinking differ from society and worse i hold a designation which may effect masses.
Let's take an example to simplify this:
Everyone know India is more or less a socialist economy before 1991 until Mr ManMohan Singh liberalize it. Its not consumer but "License Raj" who rule the Indian economy. Even after that liberalization some sector are still "untouchable" like defense, which is still dominated by PSU and Govt organization. Only Source for arms for Indian armed forces are these PSU or foreign companies. Some People want that this sector should also be open for private player so that we can save some amount of huge defense deal form leaving Indian economy. But these are the sound of some people. What about Indian masses who does not understand much about economy. For whom the private player are as less thrust worthy as foreign companies and consequently they want that govt should develop these PSU and Govt Organization instead of dealing with private players and MNCs. Consider a situation i am also one of those people who want to liberalize the defense sector and also hold the position of a editor of a newspaper. Suppose I came to know that some big business house are lobbying for this liberalization (and they wont deny of using some unfair mean for this) what should i do? I know very well they are doing what I want. it will be going in the benefit for the economy (as far as my thoughts) and if they does not use these unfair means the required change may take much longer time then it will take i current situation. According to my duty (as a news paper editor) i should report this to public because its going against majority thinking but my inside will insist to keep silent and let this positive change happen ( its only duty which matter otherwise if i want money to decide about what should i tell public i can take any side because there should be some lobby to counter balance this lobby). Does it matter what i think as far as my duty is concerned ???
Correct way will be, as a news paper editor i should create awareness in the public about my thoughts and in case they agree with it the change happen automatically but sometime some unfairness is required to accelerate the process . Does that unfairness is correct?
And in case if this unfairness is correct we have a drawback. what will happen in the condition in which i think i am right and thinking in the benefit of country but its only because i am too little to understand big picture and my tendency to work according to my thinking instead of rule/law will harm others.(which usually happen public pay the price of wrong decision made by the people who had the power to influence decision).
Although its true that corruption can harm the interest of the country/public but sometime we face a situation when no one is wrong but the way policy maker think make a huge impact on our future
Your comments are welcome.
