Moral Meaning

Moral meaning values come up when we talk about politics, society, business practices, and other interactions between people and the world. However, when we say that the world isn’t as it should be or that we should do something or we ought not to do something, we are declaring that we believe there’s an idea of perfection to strive towards, the existence of objective value & standards, and objective morality. Where does that ideal and idea come from and which worldview actually accounts for it?
