Is morality relative or absolute? Are things like "right and wrong" and "good and bad" inherent or culturally determined?

Morality is the study of right and wrong and what is considered good and bad. It can be broken down into two categories, moral and immoral. For example, killing someone for no reason is immoral while helping someone in need is moral. However, morality can be relative or absolute. Morality can be relative if things considered right and wrong change based on where and when you are. For example, killing someone in war is considered moral in that situation, but if you kill someone in war for no reason then it's immoral. Another example is if you're in a situation where you have to choose between saving a child or an elder, you would choose the elder. However, in the United States, the child would be considered more important and saving the elder would be considered immoral. However, in China, the elder would be considered more important and saving the child would be considered immoral. So morality can be relative in different situations and cultures. However, some people believe that things like "right and wrong" and "good and bad" are absolute. For example, lying and stealing is always wrong no matter the situation or where you are. Some people also believe in the concept of karma. If you do something good, you will get a positive outcome, and if you do something bad, you will get a negative outcome. Some people also believe in an afterlife and that if you do something immoral, you will get punished after you die. However, if you die in a situation where you have to do something immoral to save a lot of people then you might get rewarded.
