I am doing a school project here and would be glad if you can answer my question. It would be best if you can give me websites or names of books that answer to this questions as well. Thanks!

Morality is in the eye of the beholder. think about that because it is completely true. u have to understand in one persons mind something could be immoral while in someone elses it is not. That is the first thing i would focus on. then from there find examples of this between different cultures.

I can't give you a reference but think of this. Do we ever have a judge rule on anything where the judge himself or herself is personally involved? Our human experience is that, try as we might, we cannot be an honest judge when we have something at stake, i.e. we are not impartial.
We will always judge our own actions as basically good. That is why even criminals plotting their next crime think themselves to be basically good.

It can't be impartial. For example if two children were drowning (one was your own chlid and another was an unknown child) and you could only save one, you would of course save your own child.
