I believe that there are universal truths or ethics... and many seem to connect directly with human surivival and/or maintaining social harmony.
However, I think that while such universals exist, different cultures interpret and define them within their own particular experience, framework and values.

| | | LOL...Ya gotta love it !
I don't think ethics exists on a universal level. If it does, then what defines it?
