In a world without a higher power / God / creator, there is no right or wrong. There is no concept of morality. Each person chooses his own moral compass as he sees fit. He is his god.

There are lots and lots of points to chew on in your post.
First, did god create morality or is he subject to it? If he created it, then it is arbitrary to him.

Second, is morality really dependent on the existence of a god? Can a person act morally if they do not believe in god? And therefore, can a person choose to follow morals? If they can, the question again, where the boundaries that create a moral?

What is the difference between an ethic and a moral? Can you be ethical and immoral, or reverse, unethical and moral?
