Teacher came up with this question which I would like to propose to you:
Hypothetically speaking - a person was born into a box, all they saw for 15 years was the inside of the box, they had no interaction with any other human. Ifafter 15 years the person was let out of the box and witnessed someone murdering, by use of a gun, another human. would the person who lived in the box for 15years know that the murder was morally WRONG? What distinguishes right and wrong, morals and ethics, etc.
