I have to agree that right and wrong does depend on differences in individual values and cultural diversity.

I strongly disagree. Name one thing that is right or wrong (as opposed to prudent or imprudent, or appropriate or inappropriate), depending on either individual values or cultural diversity (whatever that is supposed to mean).

The great number of 'cultures' on this planet provide for a wide variance of what is 'right and wrong' between them. To not be able to think of 2 cultures where a multitude of things are right in one and wrong in another is to not try very hard, or at all for that matter.

I do not believe as many lefties do that no cultures are higher than or better than others. I do not subscribe to the school of 'moral equivalency'. Clearly some cultures are superior to others.
