Moral Universalism

Moral Universalism is the idea that certain moral principles apply universally to all people, regardless of culture, context, or individual beliefs. It asserts that there are objective standards of right and wrong that everyone should adhere to, much like moral absolutism, which holds that these principles are unchanging and universally binding. While moral relativism suggests that morality is shaped by cultural or individual perspectives, moral universalism posits that fundamental ethical truths exist that can guide behavior across different societies, promoting common values like justice and human rights for everyone.
