Every world culture has a different idea on what is good, and what is evil, ordinary typical things in your culture are most likely considered evil in another human culture, things in my culture are most likely considered evil in another human culture. Ideologies on moral goodness, vary immensely, there is no such thing is goodness or evil, it is all what humans within a certain culture come up with in there thoughts. Common good?? more like what the masses agree is good, but that changes over time as well, conventions are Astatic, Goodness is a human illusion, I don't know if you believe in monotheism? but that would be the only method for humans to reach an understanding of goodness, who put us here? that is who would know what is actually morally good for us, without him, they can't be morality!
