I think it is decided individually regarding what constitutes "good" and "evil". The idea can be brought up as a country, as a country's financial / political stability can affect the country's opinion of good and evil. A national crisis such as a war can also alter the country's opinion on what is good and what is not.
The idea can also be brought up as a city, or region. The population of that particular region can decide on one thing being good, while another region decides that it is evil. It can become more specific, all the way down to an individual, and this is where the greatest differences occur. As a country, many people have the same opinion of what constitutes good and evil. However, as the number of people become less, and it becomes more specific, there are more disagreements on what constitutes good and evil. The neighbor can think of something being 'evil', while you think it is fairly 'good'. Your employee may have another opinion. Your best fried, for that matter, may have a different take on what is good and what is evil.
However, there do exist a few 'universal' truths about what is bad and what is not. Almost the whole world has experienced crime and/or war, and as a result, the world's society has deemed those actions as being evil. But, according to some, these atrocities are good, and they deliver justice. This is going back to the role religion plays on people's opinion on 'good' and 'evil'.
