The last important and relative thought of importance is how Pinker sees humans as having five main moral foundations found in all world cultures. Two authors, Jonathon Haidt and Jesse Graham, assist Pinker in the in-depth look at this foundation. When these three ideas are structured together with supporting evidence.
