Moral absolutism is an ethical view that all actions are intrinsically right or wrong. Stealing, for instance, might be considered to be always immoral if done for the well-being of others, if it does in the end promote such a good. Moral absolutism stands in contrast to other categories of normative ethical theories such as consequentialism, which holds that the morality of an act depends on the consequences or the context of the act. Moral absolutism is not the same as moral universalism. Universalism holds that what is right or wrong is independent of custom or opinion, but not that what is right or wrong is independent of context or consequences. Moral universalism is compatible with moral absolutism, but positions such as consequentialism. Louis Pojman gives the following definitions to distinguish the two positions of moral absolutism and universalism: Moral absolutism: There is at least one principle that ought never to be violated. Moral objectivism: There is a fact of the matter as to whether any given action is morally permissible or impermissible: a fact of the matter that does not depend on social custom or individual acceptance.

Ethical theories which place strong emphasis on rights and duty, such as the deontological ethics of Immanuel Kant, are forms of moral absolutism, as are many religious moral codes. Moral absolutism may be understood in a secular context, as in many forms of deontological moral rationalism. However, many religions have morally absolutist positions as well, regarding their system of morality as deriving from divine commands. Therefore, they regard such a moral system as absolute and unchangeable. Many secular philosophies take a morally absolutist stance, arguing that absolute laws of morality are inherent in the nature of human beings, the nature of life in general, or the universe itself. For example, someone who believes in nonviolence considers it wrong to use violence in self-defense. Catholic philosopher Thomas Aquinas never explicitly addresses the Euthyphro dilemma, but draws a distinction between what is good or evil in itself and what is good or evil because of God's commands, with unchangeable moral standards forming the bulk of natural law.

Thus he contends that not God can change the Ten Commandments, however, that God can change what individuals deserve in particular cases, in what might look like special dispensations to murder or steal

Arlington House is a hostel for homeless men in Camden Town, London that opened in 1905. Arlington House is the last and largest of the Rowton Houses to be built and is the only one to remain in use as a hostel. For its first 80 years since opening in 1905, it had a capacity for 1,200 tenants reduced to 400, it was refurbished in 2009 and opened as a conference centre, plus accommodation for 150 homeless and low-income tenants. It has been described as the biggest homeless hostel in Europe, home to more Irish men than any other building outside Ireland. Arlington House was taken over by Camden London Borough Council in the 1980s, but was subsequently privatised and given without payment to One Housing Group by the Novas Scarman group to ensure that building works were completed; as of 2016 the building continued to be owned and managed by One Housing Group, having undergone major government-funded refurbishment, reopened in 2010. There was much criticism around this matter. One Housing Group issued a press release on 16 December 2009 in which they say that they would work with social enterprise partners City Dining, SPACE and Broadway.

According to the press release, City Dining was proposing to provide catering for residents and staff at Arlington and training for a group of customers, with the aim of offering them permanent positions. SPACE was proposing to run an art studio and creative space for residents, to develop opportunities for creative and media training. Broadway were in discussions to deliver an employment and training service for residents, setting up a Business Centre providing training and business support facilities. In a 4 March 2010 press release OHG said that the refurbished Arlington House would be a modern building with 95 high-quality units for homeless people, 35 sub-market-rent flats, 3,000 m2 of "social economy and training" space; the building was to reopen after refurbishment with government investment. Arlington House was opened after completion of major rebuilding by Mayor of London Boris Johnson on 10 June 2010. In 2016 it called itself "Arlington Conference Centre, part of One Housing Group", described as "a multipurpose hub of commercial and support services", having "95 residential rooms for homeless and vulnerable adults and 44 studio flats for low-income workers as well as the Conference Centre.

Arlington has a range of social economy partners who rent office spaces and artist studios." After reopening it was visited by several well-known people, including Tracey Emin, Iain Duncan Smith, Nick Clegg, Prince Charles. The Aisling Project was involved with the Irish Tenants Association of Arlington House, who constituted about a third of the residents before refurbishment; these tenants were older than the others and had lived in the hostel for longer. George Orwell lived in one of the Rowton Houses and wrote about the experience in Down and Out in Paris and London, his semi-autobiographical account of living in poverty in both cities. Brendan Behan lived in Arlington House; the Pogues reference Arlington House in the song Transmetropolitan by Shane MacGowan from their album 1984 Red Roses for Me. "Arlington House - address, no fixed abode" is the first line of the 1984 top 20 song "One Better Day" by Camden pop group Madness. The song is about homeless people. Irish-born photographer Deirdre O'Callaghan spent four years photographing the men of Arlington House for a personal photographic project, her first book, Hide That Can, resulted.

Published in 2002 by Trolley in London, it was awarded Book of the Year by both the International Centre of Photography in New York and Les Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles. "Men of Arlington" is a 2011 documentary film directed by Enda Hughes that portrays the tragedies and triumphs of the emigrant Irish in London.
