Does social standard determine morality?

Essentially yes. I had a guy before try to tell me that humans have "moral code", which is why asking about rapists and murderers was irrelevant in his beliefs in anarchy. He would never reply though when I discussed civilisations without a government who believe it is completely okay to eat people or burn children alive and shit.

An easy example is the middle east. This is a place without most of the senses of morality which we have developed, so things like children marrying and having sex isn't seen as the worst thing in the world to them, but it's disgusting and detestable by us.

I feel morality has always trended upwards, although I think the clashes as of late has been one of the first drops in a long time. Before, people might have been tricked but there was still a reason. You were brought up to believe that the way of the KKK was right, or that the war in Iraq was justified. But now we have people who were raised perfectly normal, committing horrible acts and starting all sorts of violence and riots simply over someone trying to do a talk about something you disagree with. These people can't even justify their actions, there is no defence to it.
