Ethical Universalism

Ethical Universalism is the belief that certain moral principles apply to all people, regardless of culture or context. It suggests that there are absolute rights and wrongs that should guide our actions universally, much like moral absolutism. For example, values such as honesty or justice are seen as fundamental and applicable to everyone, everywhere, rather than being determined by individual cultures or situations. This perspective promotes the idea that ethical norms can create a common ground for human interaction, fostering understanding and cooperation across diverse societies.
