18th century philosopher David Hume argues that the human experience of pleasure derived from the impress of virtue and pain from the impress of vice proves that all human beings are shaped by a moral sensibility. A true conception of morality is not to be found in the relative fitness or unfitness of activities or ideas themselves but in the impression they leave upon humankind. As this reality is uniform among all mankind, it is natural. As this reality can change, it is also a product of the cultural milieu humans are placed in, different impressions are a result of varying artifices or modes of education.
