The school of ethical universalism holds that:

A. concepts of right and wrong are not absolute and leave room for deviation from country to country or circumstance to circumstance.

B. concepts of right and wrong are universal within countries but not across countries and cultures.

C. concepts of right and wrong are governed by the Global Code of Ethical and Social Morality.

D. the most fundamental conceptions of right and wrong are universal and apply to members of all societies, all companies, and all businesspeople.

E. there are multiple sets of standards concerning what is ethically right or wrong that are universally applicable to citizens of a country.

Certain principles of what is right and wrong resonate with citizens in most communities regardless of local traditions and cultural norms— thus universal ethical standards can be used to assess the actions of employees in companies operating in a variety of country markets and cultural circumstances
