Is the concept of "right and wrong" a universal truth or a means of keeping a naturally violence prone society cohesive?

I’ve always been facinated by the idea that we attach taboos to some incredibly silly things and refer to them as wrong. The converse is also true…but seldom as ridiculous. For example: curse words. Do you really think that the other species are uptight about the way you bark, or growl, or honk, or moo, or…well, you get the picture.
