Cultural Relativism is the belief that all views are equally valid. ... According to ethical relativist, there are no universal moral standards. ... If ethical relativism is correct, there can be no common framework for resolving moral disputes or for reaching agreement on ethical matters among members of different societies. Ethical relativism would mean that our morals have evolved, that they have changed over time, and that they are not absolute. One advantage of ethical relativism is that it allows for a wide variety of cultures and practices. ... Slavery is a good example of cultural relativism. Two hundred years ago in America, slavery was morally acceptable. In today society slavery is not morally accepted. ... There are many societies where slavery is legal and it considered morally right to this day. Just because we as a nation came to the agreement that it is not moral and that it violates our ethical code as a nation does not make it “universally” moral or ethical.
