Is it subjective or a universal truth about what constitutes “good” and “evil”?

Good and evils are decided individually. A different person has different opinions. Sometimes good and evil depend on cultural and age. What I think evil may be my neighbours never think evil; what my parents believe evil, sometimes I believe the different. So, we all decide “evil thing” and “good thing” in our own points of observation.

If we think about the independent war of Bangladesh, on that time Bangladeshi people thought Pakistani peoples are evils who ruled them and on the other side Pakistani people thought Bangladeshi people are evils because they are fight against them. It as well depends on the decision of majority as an example, in a corporation the employees and the owner can have different estimation of the evil and good things but in this case the workers opinion will be good and the owner’s opinion will be evil because majority peoples are employee and they all have same points of view. Some time cultural separate good and evil things. In Indian cultural love marriage is evil but in our culture it’s not evil.

Some universal truth are, every cultural, every religious people believe that all kind of crimes are evil.

  1. The example of the Bangladeshi-Pakistani conflict really helps to illustrate your point, but your last sentence is kind of vague.
