I need your answer for my essay.
Try to be very plain. Try not to use "according to law", "according to conscience" etc.

A right deed is something that you would do in front of anyone on the face of earth, including your family and freinds.
"And then Earthlings discovered tools. Suddenly agreeing with friends could be a form of suicide or worse. But agreements went on, not for the sake of common sense, or decency, or self preservation, but for friendliness."

A right deed is something you sincerely believe is just and that you and you yourself believe that it will lead to the betterment of the world, the persons or objects in questions and/or yourself.

A right deed is something that is altruistic and ultimately beneficial to the perpetuation of your species or, more specifically, to the perpetuation of those you know or believe to be 'worthy' of such a grant.

the right deed is something that is done for the greater good.
exp. you have sex with girl, you tell her you will call her tomorrow, you never call her again.
Or leave a note that reads
Dear _____ <--- fill in girls name, and if you don't put resident
The time we spent together, however long it was, meant the world to me.
I would like to see you again but unfortunately i can not.
You see. I am a ghost.
I can only materialize once every decade. On the anniversary of my death.
I chose to spend my one day among the living with you sweet _____ "girls name"
Perhaps we will meet again in another decade.
Provided you keep your figure. Until then, all my love from the beyond,
"Your name goes here"

LOL good stuff

Ok I really tried, but I can't think of any definition of "right deed" without using conscience.

I'm guessing since you ruled out legal right and moral right, you're talking about the direction.

I'm stuck on trying to explain it with words. Anyone want to give it a try?

Doing something out of moral obligation that is expected of you by your family as well as the society you live in.

Wait, moral right can exist without conscience. Okay, I'll give that a try.

"Rightness." Few people will argue that it is a property that can be attributed to actions. As in, we can meaningfully ask "is doing X right?"

So we're trying to figure out "What actions have this property of rightness?"

If we can find the answer to "Given some deed X, is X right?" and apply that answer to every deed, then we will have answered our initial question.

Well, after this point, you'll have to make some more assumptions about what "right" is, because you can ask N different ethicists and receive N! answers.

To do the right thing means doing what is correct to universally accepted morals, which are mostly based on the principle of not putting other people at a disadvantage when you do something. Thinking of how your actions will affect others is very important when trying to do the right thing. Though in the end there is no perfect definition because all humans have a somewhat different code of morality and even the greater good is bound to conflict with someone's interest. When you consider the greater good as the right thing, you still have to consider if in doing this thing, if it is justified breaking the code. For example, would it be the right thing to do for a soldier to break the Geneva convention if it served the greater good, and how much justification would one need for doing so? Should universal principles be absolute? (Even though that is a pretty unrealistic standpoint, but should we at least strive for it.)

Also some personalities are more driven by conscientiousness than others, which makes it a complex subject due to the fact that it's harder for some to act on principles than others. Is someone who usually does the right thing more admireable thing even if it's natural to him? Or is it more admireable for a man who has to enforce strict discipline to live by good principles and sometimes fails in doing the right thing?

There's some stuff for you to think about. Also reading up on Hobbes' philosophy of society might give you some interesting stuff to write about. Hobbes thought that society was driven by people who only do what attracts (what gives pleasure) and avoid all negative things (pain), thus the pleasure and pain ethics of Hobbes. He thought that to enforce good principles in society there needed to be a social contract that should be enforced by the King. His philosophy was mostly based on western individualistic society though, so talking about more collectivistic societies like India might be interesting to consider as well.

Utilitarianism: The right deed is that one which will produce more welfare/happiness than any of its alternatives.
Kantian Ethics: The right deed is done in accordance with duty. In assessing your deed, you consider the maxim under which you are acting. If you would accept this maxim as a universal law, you deed may be considered right.
Virtue Ethics: Doesn't use deontological terms (right/wrong), but rather aretaic terms (good/bad). Good deeds are set in accordance with the virtues. Virtuous behaviour is exhibited by the virtuous person, who is basically good by nature.

These are the 3 current 'mainstream' normative ethical theories. I prefer utilitarianism, for a lot of reasons.

A right deed doesn't exist beyond conscience. Everyone has their own morals.
