The 'big issues' you mention are broad enough to be universals, but will have differing interpretations (e.g. what constitutes abuse? what is a good reason?) in different cultures. If you've ever spent time in an Asian honour-based culture, you'll know that their moral values are generally very strong and can be strikingly different from Western values.Yes. But I wouldn't say in any given circumstance as some situations are more complicated and need more reasoning. But on many big issues yes we all know what is right and wrong. Anyone who tried to claim that it was OK to abuse a child or take what was rightfully someone's property for no good reason for example we can rightfully say is just plain wrong and if they cannot see that they are either unsound or are denying the truth.
