As such there is no universal creed. Morals differ from society to society .
For example during a war both societies would hold their values, making them equal in that respect, but the society which won, in this example the one with the bigger machines, would be more moral as they are more productive.
In short, the most productive society is the most moral.

Having the benefit of hindsight, i can tell you that as far as treatment of women is concerned, the Ianomami indians had a more ethical and moral treatment towards them then the victorian england did.
ianomami women are just as respected as men, while beating up your wife was tottally acceptable in the UK.
How about that?
I think that what horn meant is that there are some rules that apply everywhere, like the ten commandments(pause for comic relief).
A society that accepts prejudice of any kind, slavery and/or other forms of human degradation is absolutely inferior in morality and ethics.
Like in russia, when they tried to make a gay pride parade and then people started beating up the homos. They called the police, and they came to help cracking the skulls of gay people ( of course.. they brought steel batons) That shows how inferior Russia is in this aspect compared to Holland, where anyone can express they sexuality in any way desired.
