Sure there is. It's just that in a modern democracy only "right" and "wrong" as it pertains to public peace and safety is supposed to be legislated by the civil government, and all other kinds of morality are left up to individuals to decide for themselves.

Right and wrong are subjective. Children learn what their parents teach them, and if there is no teaching, then there is no morality. Same would be if you grew up with everyone telling you that the color green was actually purple, that's what you would believe, and when someone confronted the issue, you would be entirely at a loss. If you come up against someone who believes in what you think is wrong, it may not entirely be their fault.

Of course. There is also a lot of grey area between the two in some cases.

Yes and there is NOTHING subjective about what is right and what is wrong. The only reason to make right or wrong subjective is to make yourself feel better about the things you've done wrong.

Doesn't seem that way. There is no personal responsibility for anything and we're not allowed to judge anyone or anything.

There are, but they are subjective.
