Winning Position: Is there such a thing as right and wrong?

Is there such a thing as right and wrong?
Cultural relativists maintain that cultures differ fundamentally from one another, and so do the moral frameworks that structure relations within and between different societies. In international relations, cultural relativists determine whether an action is "right" or "wrong" by evaluating it according to the ethical standards of the society within the action occurs. There is a debate in the field on whether value judgements can be made across cultures. So that begs the question: is there any such thing as right and wrong? Or is it all relative?
