Ethics can be called a moral philosophy. Although every culture has developed ethics we (in the United States) tend to think in terms of western philosophy. Ethics can be considered good in themselves or because they conform to a particular moral standard. If an ethical concept or attribute is good within itself it might be considered an absolute value. Further research into the subject tends to diminish the realm of absolutes.

I ask what are the most basic common denominators we have in society for establishing conciliatory negotiations and achieving common constructive goals.

Do we have any natural predispostions where we can find common ground?
