It's too often taken for granted what's morally good and morally bad. The British mentality on these things is that values are a thing of common sense, when in actual fact it is very much relative to culture and conditioning and prone to change over time. This isn't to we shouldn't treat others kindly, but that it's a mistake to think of it as a spontaneous human inclination. Using ourselves as the measure of values is not enough.
