It is widely accepted in the Western world today that morality is relative. People who say this usually mean that morality is a matter of personal or cultural sentiment that has no objective basis in reality.

Those who have knowledge don’t predict. Those who predict don’t have knowledge. —Lao Tzu The world is filled with experts. Pundits. Forecasters. Their role, really, is to provide snappy commentary.
