I am not sure if this is true, some cultures were cannibalistic (they ate other humans) and everyone in the society agreed that they could be the next meal...so we might say using this principle that it was 'moral' and we have no right to judge it otherwise.

I have heard there are 3 basic principles which lead to human advancement and freedom.

1) Harm no one or their property (principle of non violence or coercion all individuals own only themselves and not others)

2) Encroach on no one or their property (related to the first)

3) Honour all contracts and do everything you have agreed to do or pay a fine


Morality is based on one basic principle:

Do unto others as you want done unto to you.

Also for elaboration look into something called prisoners dilemma.
