Abstract
Through the evolution of society and the growth of religion, a false paradigm has been built that there exists universal values. Yet, these “universal values” do not have characteristics that are inherently right or wrong - they are subjective value systems that do not hold true for everyone. Instead, each individual has his or her own value system. Thus, the judgment of right and wrong is based on the individual and carries no more significance than another person’s opinion. Our understanding of subjective perception suggests that morality is nothing more than an illusion constructed by our brain.
