As the information age progresses, more and more people are learning a lot about eachother. It is evident that cultures around the world have very different values and cultural standards from one another.

Are morals and values of a person shaped completely by the culture they live in, or are there basic standards that every human society should uphold?

I believe that cultures can vary widely in their values and morals and still be equally good. However, I also think that there are some cultural standards that do transcend all just societies.. such as no murder, rape, stealing, ect. A society that doesnt respect these simple human values can be judged as bad or unjust.

What do you think?
