Absolute or not?

Is there absolute right or wrong always? What factors determines what is right and wrong? Grey area. Rhetorically, you can argue your way to either. What if we add in a human interest factor?

I have frequently used this when I was doing my bachelor programme. The lecturers would often tell us there is no particular right or wrong views if you can justify your thoughts. Question. Would your values then change to support your justification? Values that could have be instilled in you since young with cultural influences.

Today, I hear for myself what youths these days think of what supposed good values have evolved to. I am appalled or should I be not? I don't know. I really don't know.

Is doing what values views as wrong considered conservative? Have the western tv shows influenced our youths otherwise?
