The Intersection of Values and Ethics

Question

To what extent are ethical values or principles grounded in culture and beliefs? Is it reasonable to expect people from culturally different backgrounds to share the same morals and values? Moreover, is it reasonable to expect that people from culturally different backgrounds might have very different perspectives of right and wrong or ethical and unethical behaviors? Why or why not? How might differing values and perspectives on ethical behavior come into play in a global marketplace?
