People across cultures do have what's a called core morality. One that's shared universally across culture, social and political environments, etc.. You can take a variety of moral questions, and learn that people across the board respond to them very similarly. This core morality seems to be the foundation for their moral views, even if some aspects verge out particularly unique ways among them, particular when they involve competing moral principles.
But you're still not addressing those things which are assigned different moral values in different cultures.
