A list of things that should be seen as universally unethical?

Question

I am starting on a project and I am trying to come up with a list of things that should unequivocally be seen as unethical by society. I want you to think of several items for me, and for each item you can think of to explain briefly why it should be seen as universally unethical. Thanks,

Answer 1

Child abuse and spouse abuse.  Its human nature that prolongs such unnecessary behavior.

Answer 2

The scariest part about your question is that you even HAVE to ask. Universally unethical means morals that have been commonly accepted as a given, no need to describe the obvious. But you want a list of things we all (hopefully) see as commonly wrong. If you don't already *know*, then any explanation would be lost on you.

Answer 3

rape- because having s*x with a person without their consent and by force is horrible

war- killing just because you want to or for whatever religious or political reason should be universally unethical

Answer 4

It's basically impossible to find anything to call "universally" unethical due to cultural relativism. What appears "obviously" unethical to one culture may be perfectly acceptable in another, and vice versa.
