-By "roots" you mean . . . ? They just know? Or from their family or how they were raised?
Well, yes, environmental influence also takes in account. But I think all humans on Earth can come to a universal agreement about what's moral and what is not.
What is the standard that they measure it by? Two people arguing a moral difficulty, what does the third person say, do, or show that ends the argument?

Same place Theists do, from society.
If history had ended up differently and we all lived in a Nazi society, would that be moral society?
