Three quarters of all college seniors report that their professors teach them that what is right and wrong depends "on differences in individual values and cultural diversity," I have to agree that right and wrong does depend on differences in individual values and cultural diversity.
Right and wrong is not black and white across the board. There are things that should be right and wrong universally. Such as murder, rape and slavery to name just a few.
But what is wrong for one culture is not for another.

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).

That is just what I was thinking. Cultural differences. Murder is always wrong everywhere. But in some countries a woman can't show an ankle. In USA we can wear thong bikinis. In some countries women can sunbathe topless, or nude. That is illegal on most US beaches. I tell my kids, who are 18-21 years old, that there are cultural differences. That can vary from country to country, culture to culture, religion to religion... But murder and some other crimes are always wrong in all cases. Some crimes are black and white!

Sure, it is all relative.
