Why is morality not necessarily tied to culture?
-
Morality in human terms is highly subjective and commonly changes to the theme of the moment. God on the other hand never changes.
-
Morality does not necessarily need to be tied to culture as there are objective moral values, standards and duties.
1. Value human life
2. Standard that murder is wrong
3. Duty to not murder
These things are not necessarily tied to culture .

The connection between morality and culture is not absolute since morality is grounded in fundamental principles that go beyond cultural boundaries. While cultural norms and practices can impact moral beliefs and actions within a specific society, the core principles of morality typically arise from universal human values like empathy, justice, and honoring human worth. These values are not dependent on cultural circumstances but are deeply rooted in the inherent value and rights of every individual.<div>
</div><div>Different cultures may have different moral codes and ethical standards that are influenced by their unique historical, religious, and social backgrounds. However, despite this diversity, there are still universal moral principles that are acknowledged across various cultures and civilizations.</div><div>
</div><div>Individuals have the ability to engage in moral thinking and make independent decisions, enabling them to assess societal customs and behaviors based on universal ethical principles and personal beliefs. Hence, although culture can influence how morality is displayed and understood, it does not determine the fundamental nature of what is morally acceptable or unacceptable.</div> -
Morality is part of culture, however morality varies unfortunately with each culture and time.

There are many moralities that transcend each culture and are universal to every culture. Just because a culture teaches that something is moral or amoral does not make it so, there must be a standard to judge against or all claims lose their justification.
