Do you think there is any right or wrong independent of a culture.

That get the basic idea.

So basicly agree or disagree.

there are certain core values of humanity that are wrong no matter what, like murder of an innocent, but cultural relativism is real as it gets, you can't judge another people as wrong by their moral code or ethical values just because they aren't coinciding with yours...

Agree...society dictates what is and isn't wrong.

This is true, but morality can easily be summed up based on your intentions and whether your actions cause suffering to others. Society can only deem so much unacceptable, but it doesn't necessarily indicate truth. One society might say that hot dogs are evil and are not allowed to be consumed. Does my decision to eat a hot dog hurt anybody else? Nope. Morality is obvious to anybody that actually cares.

Moral universalism, but that doesn't/shouldn't apply to much

Very true, especially for the person that lives "outside" society. But then that brings us back to the title of this thread.
