"Humanism is a broad category of active ethical philosophies that affirm the dignity and worth of all people, based on our ability to rationally determine what's right. It is a component of a variety of more specific philosophical systems."

Moral universalism is a moral view, often related to humanist philosophy, which claims that the fundamental basis for a universalist ethic—'universally' applicable to all humanity—can be derived or inferred from what is common among existing moral codes.

It stands as a compromise between moral absolutism, and moral relativism, where situational human factors, like culture, dictate moral value.

Moral universalism finds that moral actions are tied to the act itself, not regardless of the cultural context, but in respect of the basic ethical standards that exist in all cultures.
