What I expect to learn?

Quote:

“Ethical Relativism is the doctrine that the moral rightness and wrongness of action varies from society to society and that there are no absolute universal moral standards binding on all men at all times.”

Review:

Ethical relativism holds that moral principle is valid relative to culture or individual choice. The culture of the society affects the people. Culture serves as the morality that people follow to do what is the right thing and moral. Being able to do good can give you a good choice in life, where culture do the same. Individual have their own beliefs and goals in life where they belief is moral. Whether you do the right thing or not is based on how you deal with your life. We learn moral unconsciously as we grow and live with our life. Being able to do good or bad is based on what we see and encounter with the past. It is on our hand to do the right or wrong thing. There is no assurance to make people do the same thing on right or wrong. Every people has different perspective in life. Every society has their own belief and culture that we must respect for we all know its for their own good. Morality is basically relative to its culture. The morality of right and wrong varies from society to society that there are no universal moral standard in all societies.
