If people have clear ideas about what is right and what is wrong, they can make the right decisions that, in the long term, could change their lives. Universal morality gives individuals a sense of moral conscience, this in turn influences society as a whole because it creates boundaries that protect people from the irrational impulses of some humans. While we have these universal moral standards, it is important to realize that not everyone upholds these values, some individuals may be selfish and have complete disregard for the feelings of others. Individuals with low moral values may never have learned morals during their childhood. Therefore; they may feel that they are above or are not held to the same universal standard as everyone else. Universal moral principles must be passed down to the next generation to protect civilization because without them the world would be complete chaos. Even if universal moral principles are not held by everyone, they are still extremely important because they help individuals deal with complex moral issues and maintain society
