Moral universalism is defined as the extent to which people exhibit the same level of altruism and trust towards strangers as towards in-group members. Universalism focuses on how a person’s altruism or trust changes based on the distance between them and the group they are interacting with, rather than one individual’s overall level of altruism or trust. Therefore, a universalist places less emphasis on group- or place-based identities than communitarians do.
