\\\"Across all the advanced civilizations of Earth\\\'s history, for example, we humans have been able to agree on very few acts that nobody should find justifiable: first-degree murder, rape, sex with prepubescent children, bullying the defenseless, property destruction, robbery (at least if done for completely selfish purposes), fraud, bestiality, and treason (at least in one\\\'s own country).\\\"
Is actually incorrect. It\\\'s a value judgment. Rather than go into a ton of examples, let\\\'s just say that first-degree murder of a 30 year old Adolf Hitler, assuming you had a time machine, would not be something most people would consider wrong. I could make some other examples of these as well.
Yes, I know some people will say I\\\'m nit picking, but the entire idea of TV Tropes is to take a good look at the underpinnings of fiction (and therefore society). Assuming something is set in stone as \\\"all the advanced civilizations of Earth\\\'s history\\\" is really a failure to think.
