Sure, but questions of justice and morality are still issues that different people will answer very differently.
For example, today almost all Americans believe slavery is immoral and wrong, but go back 200 years and question slavery. The divide was enough to fan the flames of a civil war.
Same with child labor laws, environmental protection, minimum wages, etc.
