This is interesting. I never thought about it like that. We only know ethics by what society tells us is right and wrong, even if we are getting it from the wrong sources.
Well, for the most part that is true. However, there are a lot of people who still believe homosexuality is wrong. Does that make them truly wrong? Even in the middle ages when EVERYONE thought homosexuality was wrong, does it make them wrong? I'm just using homosexuality as an example, but there are a lot of things that society says are immoral or moral when they aren't.
I think now you're getting into "what exactly is cheating" because some might argue that 'helping yourself remember' is cheating. If you went to a history test with a sheet where you wrote down all the dates, you're only 'helping yourself remember' but that IS cheating.
